Yeah, sorry 'bout that. That's the sort of rubbish that runs through my brain all day long.

Well, if it's any consolation, linguistic accuracy is never a consideration in my Photoshop jokes.
Like this one:
(I actually don't know the Klingon word for "owned", but I'm not hard core enough of a Trekker to own a Klingon dictionary.)

In the final panel on this one, is that Arnold Schwarzenegger and a seal at the helm panel?(I actually don't know the Klingon word for "owned", but I'm not hard core enough of a Trekker to own a Klingon dictionary.)

Yes, I get a tendency to try to insert random unrelated nonsense into the background to see if anyone notices.
I have a few more...
As with the previous webcomic. I don't own a Vulcan dictionary, either.

This is just too much haha. What a twisted (read: inventive) sense of humor (not being critical - I love it). hahaha

Thank you; it's always nice when people appreciate the Easter Eggs in these things.
Carrying on with the current theme (at least for a few):

Do you remember Kyle Riker from the episode "The Icarus Factor"?
The relationship between him and Will is a perfect blueprint for so many father/son conflicts, in my opinion.
My father is similar to Kyle Riker. Not exactly in the same way. Kyle Riker is a proud survivor mentality and careerist, but my father is more a kind of a simply wrong person, with it's real character sometimes shining through. Not respecting me as an adult, too, of course.
But I think, the solution in the episode is again Trek-utopic. Or maybe saying: "it's just movie".
In reality, people like my old father would never understand, because they don't want to and sometimes can't, too. Equally, if now or 30 years ago.
When people like my father telephone or send you an e-mail, you think you're hearing or reading a totally different person. That's, when the real character comes trough, when such persons feel unobserved!
PS:
The german title of the episode is: "Rikers father"

So, it turns out that the Star Trek vision of Humanoid life in the universe might be correct after all. Gene Roddenberry was a genius. Although, honestly, I prefer the panspermia model. (Sorry. I just wanted to use the word “panspermia”.)

I hadn't heard the term "panspermia" before reading your post. Now that I'm aware of it, I think it sounds reasonable. I'm also in favor of your use of the term "humanoid" rather than "human" in reference to the online article in your link. Assuming the human race survives long enough for at least a few of us to eventually travel to another planet inhabited by humanoid creatures, I think what we'd find would be second cousins rather than brothers and sisters--bipedal beings like ourselves, but that would be where the resemblance ends, like the difference between the "Grey aliens" and we pink skins. Same essential configuration, but differences in the details.

I wonder if Vulcans call all unicephalic upright bipeds "vulcanoids?"

Thoughts like this make me pleased that we didn't call ourselves the "hemorrh" race. Of course, we'd be the only ones to get that joke, but still...
