  4. 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.

  5. The phasers were carved out of balsa wood. The original Enterprise and
    Klingon warship models now reside at
    the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum.
