Yeah. WTF?

QuoteBeneath the surface of their fiery passion for the Klingon language and Romulan mythology, the British government of the 1990s once thought something more sinister could be lurking: Violent anarchism and a proclivity for mass suicide.

According to The Express, a recently-disclosed document from London's Metropolitan Police reveals they were keeping a secret dossier on fans of Star Trek, The X-Files, and other science fiction shows out of fears that their fans might abruptly become suicidal cultists or start a rebellion against the rest of society.

The paranoia was related to the approach of the year 2000, and thoughts that the new millennium could somehow drive hardcore sci-fi fans into a frenzy of UFO mania or apocalyptic fervor.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Clearly some middle aged police Inspector needed something to do in order to justify his/her existence!  :2funny:
Any time is a good time for pie.

Sounds like some mid level bureaucrats needed a reason to justify spending their days watching scifi at work. Brilliant!

If that were the case, I'd have made it a case that busty brunettes are suicidal cultists that wish to start a rebellion against the rest of society.

In my experience, that is accurate.

nope.  a dirty blonde.
a very very dirty blonde.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

I'll bet you a dollar that in the ensuing two decades things haven't improved...on either side of the pond.
