Just a weird, random thought I had while reading today’s column (April 17th). Let’s say you’re a Muslim serving on the Enterprise. Being a devout person, you have to worship facing Mecca, but you’ve gotta figure out which way to point your prayer rug from deep in the Gamma Quadrant. What instrument – existing in real life – would you use to figure that out? And wouldn’t you have to keep changing the rug’s position as you flew from system to system? And wouldn’t that get confusing or frustrating after a while?
And are the food and beverages that comes from the replicaters kosher? I’d think they would be since they weren’t touched while preped.
Okay, enough of the mental spewage.
