1. As we had a definite difference of opinion, and I was myself unsure, I looked it up at Memory Alpha. The Ocampa usually live nine years, as I thought. ---

She went into estrus at 2, which she said was too early, and since it was the only time she could get pregnant, she was stressing over whether to conceive a child with Neelix or not. ---

Think I’ll collect on a few answers and keep this thread from sinking 🆒 212.) Which motion control model was rumored to have been destroyed in a warehouse fire, only to show up undamaged at the Christie’s auction this fall? 213.) What real-life object was Geordi’s visor originally made from? 214.) What was unique about how the Delta Flyer was controlled, given what we’d come to expect for such things since TNG? 215.) Give me three racial slurs from the Star Trek universe and the species they apply to. 216.) Recall Armus, the creature that killed Tasha Yar, absorbed Commander Riker, etc. What was the prop used to represent its fluid state? ---

[QUOTE=Khan] 215.) Give me three racial slurs from the Star Trek universe and the species they apply to. [/quote] Let’s see, the Ferengi referred to humans as “hew-mons” with an accompanying sneer. Cardassians were referred to as “spoon-heads” and I think Dukat made comments about the “crinkly noses” of the Bajorans. McCoy called Spock a “green-blooded, inhuman…” when he was angry. > [@](#): > > 216.) Recall Armus, the creature that killed Tasha Yar, absorbed Commander Riker, etc. What was the prop used to represent its fluid state? I think it was a combination of motor oil and corn syrup. ---

Give me three racial slurs from the Star Trek universe and the species they apply to. Spoonhead = Cardassian Cardie = Cardassian too Changeling = Founder (debatable - this is used quite often, but in “Vortex” (DS9) it definitely seems to be a slang term, and Odo reacts to it with consternation) > [@](#): > > 216.) Recall Armus, the creature that killed Tasha Yar, absorbed Commander Riker, etc. What was the prop used to represent its fluid state? Metamucil and black printer’s ink. ---

**matt\_mcl** got 213 and 214. Good call on 216, too. I’d forgotten about the Metamucil. I wonder why they used that along with the ink? Answers to 215 have been correct, but the options are far from exhausted. 220.) Mark Lenard: Romulan Commander in Balance of Terror, Klingon captain in TMP, and Sarek. ---
