As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Cardassians or Legate Damar approaches one. Many people misinterpret this to mean that once such a comparison is made, the thread is finished and whoever mentioned the Cardassians has automatically “lost” whatever debate was in progress. ---

[QUOTE=carnivorousplant] Greetings, Hu-mon. I am Quartz Rak Krsytal, Ferenghi Princess of Ferenghinar, not allowed to wear clothing or conduct business. My late husband, Bauxite Al Uminium, died leaving 7,040,300,234 bars of gold pressed latinum to his family. I understand that you are an honest Hu-mon, and will assist me in moving my late Husband’s wealth from Ferenginar to the Federation, where I may find more marks, er, may live as an honest, upright, wealthy citizen. Upon receipt of your bank account number, the social security numbers of all members of your family, passwords to all your ebay and email accounts, I will deposit my Husband’s money to you and we will live happily ever after. Regards, Quartz. [/QUOTE] You win. ---

I swear I had no idea-- I thought it was a Spican flame gem sculpture. Shouldn’t an Orb of Time be more orb-shaped? I take no responsibility if the Bajorans can’t even be bothered to label their priceless cultural artifacts right. No wonder the Antarean glow water wasn’t working. Regardless, I’ve since made arrangements to get rid of it. Thanks for the advice! I think everything is going to work out just fine. ---
