At one point, a communicator was a lady's razor.

Hi Bart,

Didn't know that. What a great piece of trivia - and what a great name.

I always knew you were a razor-sharp wit.

Always nice to hear from you, Bart-man.

The phasers were carved out of balsa wood. The original Enterprise and
Klingon warship models now reside at
the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum.
Oh wow..I AM a geek.

Hi Doug,

Wow - I didn't know any of that. Will treasure that information. Must visit one day.

Hey, we're all geeks at heart!

Keep smiling
