I can't tell if I should be happy to have the bean fucking confirmed or not. Correction is welcome though :)

I think someone fucked beans? There was a lot of beans and hog so I might have wires crossed in my memory.

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only
The crew of the beautiful amazing LIVING ship Moya. Chiana the grey Nebari on space rumspringa, D'argo the not Worf, Rygel the most demented little shitbird Muppet that ever lived, John Crichton Florida Man in Space and Aeryn Sun, she will kick your ass.

The crew (minus some, especially Pilot) from Farscape.

"Vulcans had long defined their “year,” or r’tas, as exactly 1.5 times that, or 266.4 standard days (252 Vulcan rotations or t’ved ), corresponding to the period of an orbital resonance between Vulcan and its sister world T’Khut. Vulcan’s low axial tilt gave it little in the way of solar seasons, "

"The intricacies and idiosyncrasies of Vulcan timekeeping had initially frustrated Lucsly. Though the planet’s orbital radius of 0.56 AU around 40 Eridani A gave it a period of 177.6 standard days, Vulcans had long defined their “year,” or r’tas, as exactly 1.5 times that, or 266.4 standard days"

Discworld QOTD, from Lords and Ladies
Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder. 
Elves are marvelous. They cause marvels. 
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies. 
Elves are glamorous. They project glamour. 
Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment. 
Elves are terrific. They beget terror. 
The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning. 
No one ever said elves are nice. 
Elves are bad.

(Bonus Internet Poisioned Thought. Given that Klingons culturally will read poetry to the objects of their affection and said object of affection will attempt greivous bodily harm on them.... and given that they adore fighting spirit.... are all Andorians the Klingon equivalent of femboy twinks?)

Anyway, congratulations Star Trek: Strange New Worlds on 'A Case of Chiaroscuro' and Kor. He came. He saw. He got painfully horny. Not just a fun Klingon, one painfully horny for a strong woman.
Screenshot of Demore Barnes as Kor in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds episode 'A Case of Chiaroscuro' (Season 4 Episode 4). The screenshot is entirely black and white as the episode is following a film noir style. Kor is in the center of the frame and artfully lit.
