A star trek nerd dies of extreme old age, with no one noticing?

New York City celebrates its 25th anniversary as an independant nation state. Don't laugh-there are serious proposals to have NYC secede first from NYS, and eventually from the USA.

Maybe NYC and Long Island will secede from NY state together to form the 51st state. The proposal for Long Island to leave NY state comes up every now and then too.

Oh I know! ..... Surefire introduces their first AA powered light, after scientists confirm that Hell does exist, and that it has also frozen over.

I saw the movie but do not remember much. Just Deanna Troi getting drunk somewhere along the way.

There's also one scene where Geordie LaForge and Zefram Cochrane are outside...Cochrane says "I gotta take a leak" and LaForge replies "I'm not detecting a leak" or some such horse puckey...priceless!!!
