@dangeRuss Many interesting things in that article, but one that stands out is that Roddenberry must have named Dr. McCoy after Robert McCoy.

I could swear I've seen a (Flight of the Conquerer?) movie with this plot.
Wait, no, I zoned out halfway through the article and switched to something more interesting involving a plane and a desert.
I didn't say dessert, Bill... calm down.

You know how there are so many bizarre conspiracy theories surrounding the death of JFK? Well, TIL the very same day he died, so did C. S. Lewis.
The next day was the series premiere of Dr. Who.
-
@Mason_Wheeler The premiere of Doctor Who was overshadowed by the news coverage in the aftermath of JFK's shooting (though still got a good amount of viewers), but the BBC repeated that first episode the following week before the second episode.

@Arantor at least so the media reports say.

On This Day… In 1988 The Daleks conquered the stairs
The conclusion to this episode finally exposed a myth. A long running joke that the Daleks were incapable of navigating a flight of stairs

@nerd4sale indeed, that was 35 years ago now.

Isn't that an overly linear interpretation of time?

TIL It's "He's the boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B", not, "He's the boogie-woogie bugle boy thumping at me".
