Bea Arthur and the Trekkies and my physics professor

So once upon a time a man read this about TV Taboos, which features a lot of Star Trek and Golden Girls and Jason Bateman.

Then he scrunched up his nose, put a finger to his glasses, and angrily typed out the following, and then went to teach his Physics class at CU Boulder:

"First Bisexuals: Star Trek's 1967 episode "The Trouble With Tribbles" features Tribbles, adorable fuzzy creatures who reproduce constantly and swing both ways. Some would argue that Tribbles were also television's first Furries.

Actually they were asexual and reproduced through parthenogenesis. You really should do your research if you're going to write an article like this.

Dr. McCoy said that they were born pregnant and that they'd reproduce if they were fed enough."
