Has anyone noticed that "parallel" and "personnel" are two of the most mispelled words?

Except in this forum, where the most mispelled word is "teh".

Which is?

Spoiler: For Want of A Nail Spoiler

That it goes back as far as the American Revolution, and George Washington may have been responsible.

Someone should write a novel based on the effect on the timeline of the "bum's" death -- the one that vaporized himself with McCoy's phaser.

I remember reading on one of those Best of Trek books that someone used this incident to explain why the show Star Trek didn't exist in Star Trek's universe. Apparently, IIRC, the son of said bum grew up without a dad, became a bitter cirminal and killed a young cop named Gene Roddenberry before he worked on Television

No, Bones didn't create the mirror universe. "All was as it was", before he left!!!

The only thing I dislike about the alt-literature in Dark Mirror was that a historian like Picard never once considered the possibility that totalitarian regimes often cook the books on their history, often to provide justification for the way things are in their present. I was struck when he decided to avoid reading the MU Bible. Was this written before or after the more stridently anti-religious eps on TNG? (e.g., 'Who Watches The Watchers?')

I'm actually very GLAD that the mirror Bible was never shown. I shudder to think of what it might have been like.

And I gotta give props to the author of Dark Mirror for never showing it. I don't know whether Diane Duane is a Christian, but even if she's not, at least she had enough respect for my beliefs not to walk all over them by showing whatever the MU would have done to the Bible. I mean, given what the MU tends to be like, I have a suspicion what its Bible would have been:

Spoiler: MU

probably riddled with Satanism

And I definitely would not want to read anything about *that*. I had enough problems with the same thing in the JLA: Earth 2 comic, but at least then it was only a couple of throwaway lines.

As for Dark Mirror vs. TNG anti-religion: DM was published in 1993, which was a few years after "Who Watches The Watchers?" had been aired. FWIW.

I know it's not canon, and I know Enterprise ruined it, but I always liked the Shatnerverse explanation.
