QPARA: i-Tans?
QHYPER: I consider them to be imaginary.

QHYPER: Besides, we'll need a trig to counter Versine.
QLYN: Who would vote for Versine?
VERSINE: (video) I will fight calculators, and restore trig tables!
QQUINN: Finally, someone else suspicious of calculators!

SPOCK: Very bad poetry, Captain.
KIRK: A more useful comment, Mister Spock.
Hurrah for 50 years of Star Trek.
