ya know one thing we havent got is a general funny sticky, everywhere over the internet are funny Trek stories articles and pictures and jokes.. The truth is out there! if you see them PLEASE post them here they dont all have to be funny, they can be wierd or bizarre, like the fact that a real actualy working COM badge has been invented and may phase out mobile phones in the future, or that a company has actualy built a Trek Tricorder that you connect to your PC to upload data.. ok heres my first contribution, its the first picture of the new klingon M'Ped scout ship

Fixed it... i hope it uh... works now ... heh i just found this
Top 10 Things I Hate About Star Trek
10. Noisy doors.
You can't walk three feet in a starship without some door whooshing or screeching at you. My office building has automatic sliding doors. They're dead silent. If those doors went "wheet!" every time a person walked through them, about once a month some guy in accounting would snap and go on a shooting rampage. Sorry Scotty, the IEEE has revoked your membership until you learn to master WD-40
9. The Federation.
This organization creeps me out. A planet-wide government that runs everything, and that has abolished money. A veritable planetary DMV. Oh sure, it looks like a cool place when you're rocketing around in a Federation Starship, but I wonder how the guy driving a Federation dump truck feels about it?
And everyone has to wear those spandex uniforms. Here's an important fact: Most people, you don't want to see them in spandex. You'd pay good money to not have to see them. If money hadn't been abolished, that is. So you're screwed.
8. Reversing the Polarity.
For cripes sake Giordi, stop reversing the polarity of everything! It might work once in a while, but usually it just screws things up. I have it on good authority that the technicians at Starbase 12 HATE that. Every time the Enterprise comes in for its 10,000 hour checkup, they've gotta go through the whole damned ship fixing stuff. "What happened to the toilet in Stateroom 3?" "Well, the plumbing backed up, and Giordi thought he could fix it by reversing the polarity."
Between Scotty's poor lubrication habits and Geordi's damned polarity reversing trick, it's a wonder the Enterprise doesn't just spontaneously explode whenever they put the juice to it.
7. Seatbelts.
Yeah, I know this one is overdone, but you'd think that the first time an explosion caused the guy at the nav station to fly over the captain's head with a good 8 feet of clearance, someone would say, "You know, we might think of inventing some furutistic restraining device to prevent that from happening." So of course, they did make something like that for the second Enterprise (the first one blew up due to poor lubrication), but what was it? A hard plastic thing that's locked over your thighs. Oh, I'll bet THAT feels good in the corners. "Hey look! The leg-bars worked as advertised! There goes Kirk's torso!"
6. No fuses.
Every time there's a power surge on the Enterprise the various stations and consoles explode in a shower of sparks and throw their seatbelt-less operators over Picard's head. If we could get Giordi to stop reversing the polarity for a minute, we could get him to go shopping at the nearest Starship parts store and pick up a few fuses. And while he's shopping, he could stop at an intergalactic IKEA and pick up a few chairs for the bridge personnel. If you're going to put me in front of a fuseless exploding console all day, the least you could do is let me sit down.
5. Rule by committee.
Here's the difference between Star Trek and the best SF show on TV last year:
Star Trek:
Picard: "Arm photon torpedoes!"
Riker: "Captain! Are you sure that's wise?"
Troi: "Captain! I'm picking up conflicting feelings about this! And, it appears that you're a 'fraidy cat."
Wesley: "Captain, I'm just an annoying punk, but I thought I should say something."
Worf: "Captain, can I push the button? This is giving me a big Klingon warrior chubby."
Giordi: "Captain, I think we should reverse the polarity on them first."
Picard: "I'm so confused. I'm going to go to my stateroom and look
pensive."
Firefly:
Captain: "Let's shoot them."
Crewman: "Are you sure that's wise?"
Captain: "Do you know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I'll BEAT YOU WITH until you realize who's in command."
Crewman: "Aye Aye, sir!"
4. A Star Trek quiz:
Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and 'Ensign Gomez' beam down to a planet. Which one isn't coming back?
3. Technobabble.
The other night, I couldn't get my car to start. I solved the problem by reversing the polarity of the car battery, and routing the power through my satellite dish. The resulting subspace plasma caused a rift in the space-time continuum, which created a quantum tunnelling effect that charged the protons in the engine core, thus starting my car. Child's play, really. As a happy side-effect, I also now get the Spice Channel for free.
2. The Holodeck.
I mean, it's cool and all. But do you really believe that people would use it to re-create Sherlock Holmes mysteries and old-west saloons? Come on, we all know what the holodeck would be used for. And we also know what the worst job on the Enterprise would be: Having to squeegie the holodeck clean.
1. The Prime Directive.
How stupid is this? Remember when Marvin the Martian was going to blow up the Earth, because it obstructed his view of Venus? And how Bugs Bunny stopped him by stealing the Illudium Q36 Space Modulator? Well, in the Star Trek universe, Bugs would be doing time. Probably in a room filled with Roseanne lookalikes wearing spandex uniforms, walking through doors going WHEET! all day. It would be hell. At least until the Kaboom. The Earth-shattering Kaboom.

Star Trek TNG Meets Microsoft
Picard:
Mr. LaForge, have you had any success with your attempts at
finding a weakness in the Borg? And Mr. Data, have you been able
to access their command pathways?
Geordi:
Yes, Captain. In fact, we found the answer be searching through
our archives on late twentieth-century computing technology.
Geordi presses a key, and a logo appears on the computer screen.
Riker [puzzled]:
What the hell is Microsoft?
Data [turns to explain]:
Allow me to explain. We will send this program, for some reason
called Windows, through the Borg command pathways. Once
inside their root command unit, it will begin consuming resources
at an unstoppable rate.
Picard:
But the Borg have the ability to adapt. Won't they alter their
processing systems to increase their storage capacity?
Data:
Yes, Captain. But when Windows detects this, it creates
a new version of itself known as an upgrade. The use of resources
increases exponentially with each iteration. The Borg will not
be able to adapt quickly enough. Eventually all of their processing
ability will be taken over and none will be available for their
normal operational functions.
Picard:
Excellent work. This is even better than that unsolvable
geometric shape idea.
...15 Minutes later...
Data:
Captain, we have successfully installed the Windows in the
Borg's command unit. As expected, it immediately consumed 85% of all
available resources. However, we have not received any confirmation
of the expected upgrade.
Geordi:
Our scanners have picked up an increase in Borg storage and CPU
capacity, but we still have no indication of an upgrade to
compensate for their increase.
Picard:
Data, scan the history banks again and determine if there is
something we have missed.
Data:
Sir, I believe there is a reason for the failure in the upgrade.
Apparently, the Borg have circumvented that part of the plan by
not sending in their registration cards.
Riker:
Captain, we have no choice. Requesting permission to begin
emergency escape sequence 3F!
Geordi [excited]:
Wait, Captain! Their CPU capacity has suddenly dropped to 0%!
Picard:
Data, what do your scanners show?
Data [studying displays]:
Apparently the Borg have found the internal Windows module
named Solitaire, and it has used up all available CPU capacity.
Picard:
Let's wait and see how long this Solitaire can reduce their
functionality.
...Two Hours Pass...
Riker:
Geordi, what is the status of the Borg?
Geordi:
As expected, the Borg have attempted to reengineer to compensate
for increased CPU and storage demands, but each time they
successfully increase resources I have set up our closest deep
space monitor beacon to transmit more Windows modules from
something called the Microsoft Fun Pack.
Picard:
How much time will that buy us?
Data:
Current Borg solution rates allow me to predict an interest
time span of 6 more hours.
Geordi:
Captain, another vessel has entered our sector.
Picard:
Identify.
Data:
It appears to have markings very similar to the Microsoft logo
[over the speakers]:
This is Admiral Bill Gates of the Microsoft flagship Monopoly.
We have positive confirmation of unregistered software in this sector.
Surrender all assets and we can avoid any trouble. You have 10
seconds to comply.
Data:
The alien ship has just opened its forward hatches and released
thousands of humanoid-shaped objects.
Picard:
Magnify forward viewer on the alien craft!
Riker:
My God, Captain! Those are human beings floating straight toward
the Borg ship - with no life support suits! How can they survive
the tortures of deep space?!
Data:
I do not believe that those are humans, sir. If you will look closer
I believe you will see that they are carrying something recognized by
twenty-first century man as doeskin leather briefcases, and wearing
Armani suits.
Riker and Picard together [horrified]:
Lawyers!
Geordi:
It can't be. All the Lawyers were rounded up and sent hurtling into
the sun in 2017 during the Great Awakening.
Data:
True, but apparently some must have survived.
Riker:
They have surrounded the Borg ship and are covering it will all types
of papers.
Data:
I believe that is known in ancient vernacular as red tape. It
often proves fatal.
Riker:
They're tearing the Borg to pieces!
Picard:
Turn the monitors off, Data, I can't bear to watch. Even the Borg
don't deserve such a gruesome death!

Things That Will Never Happen
on Star Trek
1. The Enterprise runs into a mysterious energy field of a type it has encountered several times before.
2. The Enterprise goes to visit a remote outpost of scientists, who are all perfectly ok.
3. Some of the crew visits the holodeck, and it works perfectly.
4. The crew is struck by a mysterious plauge, for which the only cure can be found in the well stocked sickbay.
5. A power surge on the bridge is rapidly and correctly diagnosed as a faulty capacitor by the highly trained and competent engineering staff.
6. The crew is captured by a vastly superior alien race which does not put them on trial.
7. The crew is captured by an inferior alien race which they easily pacify with candy and sweets.
8. A major Starfleet emergency breaks out near the Enterprise, but some other ships in the area are able to deal with it.

STARTREK MEETS ROADRUNNER
Captain's Log, Stardate 54324.5: Starfleet Command has directed the
Enterprise to do a preliminary exploration of planet --- in advance of a
full research team. Scanners report the atmosphere to be breathable,
but are receiving confusing readings with regard to life forms. I am
beaming down with a landing party composed of all our chief officers
except for poor Scotty.
Supplemental-1: Redshirt Riley has received a head injury, apparently
while exploring under a high rock shelf. He reports only hearing a loud
sound and jumping before being struck. After examination by Dr. McCoy
he has been judged capable of continuing duty.
Supplemental-2: We have encountered an alien creature on this planet.
While it does not itself seem menacing, an unfortunate occurrence took
place when it was present. Specifically, on my orders Lt. Sulu withdrew
his phaser. The creature disappeared leaving a puff of smoke,
immediately following which a loud noise was heard next to Sulu. Sulu
fired, hitting Ens. Chekov. Oddly enough, although Sulu's weapon was
set to stun, Chekov was also covered with a black powder similar to
soot. Mr. Chekov has been sent back to the ship for examination and
quarantine.
Stardate 54326.2, Mr. Spock reporting: Tricorder readings indicate
that the creature we encountered earlier is constantly moving at great
speed over the surface of the planet. We have encountered the creature
once again. In an attempt to slow the creature for study, I attempted
to fire on it. The creature, however, appeared to move faster than the
phaser beam. Regretfully, the beam struck an outcropping of rock above
the Captain's head, causing it to break off and fall. Although it
appears that several tons of rock fell squarely on the Captain, he was
driven straight into the ground but apparently not seriously injured,
though stunned. The Captain has been beamed up to Sick bay, leaving me
in command of the research party.
Captain's Log, Stardate 54342.1: The creature is still at large on
the planet surface. While Mr. Spock continues to lead a research party
I am currently at work with Mr. Scott on an Acme Pressure Cooker for our
lab, for when the creature is finally apprehended.
Captain's Log, Stardate 54342.3: The strange occurrences that have
dogged the landing party since our arrival at this planet have led me
to believe that the creature is in some way directly responsible for
them. Mr. Chekov and I have both been declared fit for return to duty,
though Dr. McCoy has entered in his medical log that he feels we should
be kept under observation.
Mr. Spock has constructed a device which he suspects should be able to
counteract the creature's incredible speed as follows: We have placed
dish of birdseed out in the open, with several signs pointing to it.
This dish is atop a cleverly concealed trap door, which will open when
any weight falls on it. The creature will then travel a slide,
eventually being deposited in a cage constructed of sheets of
transparent aluminum. We will then be free to analyze it at our
leisure. Meanwhile, I have forbidden all beaming down to the surface of
the planet except on my or Mr. Spock's direct order.
Captain's Log, supplemental: The plan failed. The creature was
indeed lured by the birdseed, as expected. It sped to the dish,
consumed the bait, and sped off without setting the trap. Mr. Spock is
as puzzled as I, and has begun tests to discover the flaw in the design.
I have sent out three search parties to see if we can box the creature
in, one headed by Mr. Sulu, one by Mr. Chekov, and one by Sociologist
Xontel.
Captain's Log, stardate 54342.8: Sociologist Xontel has been
temporarily incapacitated. In pursuing the creature, he and his men
somehow managed to cross the place where Mr. Spock's trap was set just
as he completed the corrections to it. The trap was sprung, and all
four of my men were suspended for a moment in mid-air, puzzled, just
before they fell into the cage we constructed. We are now trying to
release them with phasers, as the lock was inadvertently smashed by the
impact from Sociologist Xontel's foot as he fell. I consider this a
major setback. Mr. Spock considers it "fascinating."
Captain's Log, stardate 54343.4: In an all-out attempt to stop the
creature once and for all, I have had a phaser rifle beamed down from
the Enterprise. The creature has behaved in an extremely cunning
manner, yet I am unsure whether this is a sign of actual intelligence.
Lt. Uhura has been unsuccessful in her attempts to raise Starfleet
Command. Meanwhile, Mr. Scott informs me that our dilithium crystals
are deteriorating at an alarming rate. He has jury rigged a system that
will prevent the decay for a time, but it is imperative that we find new
crystals soon.
Captain's Log, supplemental: Mr. Sulu reports high energy tricorder
reading from an area of the planet in which the creature has not yet been
sighted. He has taken a small party, including Mr. Spock, to the
high-elevation spot from which the readings emanate. I have begun to
analyze the creatures movements. It seems to travel consistently over a
set path. Perhaps we can corner it in a tunnel it seems to pass through
frequently.
Captain's Log, stardate 54344.7: Mr. Sulu has located a cache of Acme
dilithium crystals atop a high cliff. Regretfully, while collecting them,
the edge of the cliff broke off, and he and Mr. Spock plummeted several
hundred feet to the ground below. Strangely enough, they both survived
the fall with no more than raising a cloud of dust on impact, although
they did pass the chunk of rock on the way down and end up completely
buried. A rescue excavation has commenced, and they should be safe
shortly.
Captain's Log, stardate 54344.9: Mr. Spock has beamed up to the ship
with them to assist Mr. Scott in their installation, as he foresees
compatibility problems. Back on the planet's surface, Mr. Chekov led
seven men into the tunnel in an attempt to capture the creature in transit.
A loud BEEP, BEEP was heard, and Chekov aimed the phaser rifle and
commanded his men to spread out. I wish to state for the record that I
would have acted similarly, and that Ensign Chekov should in no way be
held responsible for the unfortunate circumstances arising from the
unexpected appearance of an old Earth-style freight train. He has been
beamed back up to the ship with minor injuries.
Captain's Log, stardate 54345.1: Dr. McCoy has beamed down with a hypo
containing a mixture of kyranide, tri-ox compound, Scalosian concentrate,
a thereagram derivative, and some other items he found in unmarked
containers in Sick bay. By injecting a small amount into each member of
the landing party, I hope to be able to deal with the creature at its own
high speed terms.
Captain's Log, supplemental: The latest experiment to deal with the
strange creature has failed. As Dr. McCoy was injecting a measured does
of the compound, it abruptly appeared behind him and uttered a loud BEEP,
BEEP! Dr. McCoy, understandable flustered, accidentally pressured in the
entire contents of the hypo into his arm. A full security team is in
pursuit of him, waiting for the effects of the drug to wear off.
Captain's Log, stardate 54345.2: I have ordered the landing party
transported back to the ship. The new dilithium crystals have been
successfully installed. On my responsibility, the ship is preparing to
engage main phasers to attack the creature, which continues on its
semi-erratic course across the planet's surface.
Captain's Log, supplemental: This is a warning to all other starships
that may pass this way. Do not approach this planet! The illogical
events occurring here are too much to overcome with simple science. If
you have heard the events transcribed in the rest of this log, you will
learn that this creature is nearly undefeatable. We channeled full ship's
power through the phaser banks. Theoretically, the creature should have
been destroyed; hover, the energies were too much strain for the Acme
crystals. The full force of the phasers backlashed over the Enterprise,
engulfing her completely. At first, the only noticeable effect was a
complete failure of all systems save emergency gravity and life support.
Then a web of black lines spread through the Enterprise's superstructure.
Next, the ship began breaking up, piece by piece, falling through the
atmosphere to land on the surface of the planet. When the ship had
collapsed entirely, my crew was left hanging in space for a short time,
and finally each of us began to fall to the planet below. We have no
theories on how any of us survived, but every crewmember has reported
nothing more than a sense of uneasiness, followed by the realization that
they were several hundred miles up in the air, a sinking sensation, and
then a gradual drop: first the feet, then the body, and finally the head,
usually wearing a resigned expression of perplex. We are attempting
now to communicate with the creature in the hopes that it will prove
intelligent. Perhaps we can communicate our peaceful intentions to it.
Mr. Spock has constructed a crude rocket launcher from the wreckage of the
ship, and with this we hope to send the recorder marker up into space,
where hopefully someone will find it. Captain James T. Kirk, recording.

Here's a story I found on-line (one of many like this one)
An amateur pilot was arrested in the UK for flying under Tower Bridge in London. When contacted by the Air Traffic Controllers he identified himself as Captain James T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise. When he was asked if he wanted to say anything on his own behalf before the judge passed sentence, he pretended his wallet was a Star Trek communicator, whistled, and said "Beam me up Scotty."

In my country, there was a search last summer for a missing ship. They contacted the Coast Guard requesting assistance and identifying their ship a the Enterprise, (and as I recall) Italian registry no 1701. After 16 hours, I suppose word got to someone who knew Trek and the search was called off.
True story

88 Reasons Why Sisko Is Better Than Everyone

They contacted the Coast Guard requesting assistance and identifying their ship a the Enterprise, (and as I recall) Italian registry no 1701. After 16 hours, I suppose word got to someone who knew Trek and the search was called off. True story
And the poor crew of Italian sci fi nerds all drowned while waiting to be rescued. After some time, they tried to get their impulse engine (aka: their outboard engine) back online, but once their structural integrity field failed, their mighty vessel was doomed.

Mistress_of_evil is lending a helping hand again...
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the ship, The consoles were silent, not even a blip. The Phasers were hung by the stations with care, In hopes an intruder soon would be there. The Ensigns were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of rank pips danced in their heads.
Janeway in her chair, and Chakotay in his, Had just settled down for a long night shift. When up from the viewscreen there rose such a clatter, Each jumped from their chair to see what was the matter. When what to their wondering eyes should appear, But a great big red sleigh and eight tiny Reindeer.
The sleigh was warp-capable, all shiny and bright, That gave Lieutenant Torres fits of delight. The driver was clad in all white and red. And he pressed a big button attached to his sled. A transporter beam shimmered and gleamed, As onto the bridge, Santa Clause beamed.
He marched up to Janeway and said with a smile, "I know that you won't be getting home for a while, So I'm bringing your gifts to Voyager instead." And suddenly with a shake of his head, Santa produced a large sack-full of gifts, For all of the crew on all of the shifts.
For Janeway, a puppy with little brown spots, For Neelix a set of brand-new cooking pots. The Doctor an Emitter to have as a spare, Seven a red-and-green catsuit to wear. Chakotay a pocket-sized firestarter kit, (One that doesn't need hair to be lit)
B'Elanna was given new engineering parts, For Tom a holodeck program with darts. Harry a book on how to date Seven, (First dates are covered in chapter eleven) Tuvok got a new meditation lamp, Then with a grin Santa sped up the ramp.
With a wave of his hand, and a jerk of his head, The shuttlebay was filled up with shuttles again. The kitchen was stocked up with Alpha-quad food. (Santa knew Neelix's cooking wasn't that good) And presents were transported to all of the crew. But before they could say even a single thankyou, He pressed a button and said "One to beam down." Then to his sleigh, Santa beamed with a bound. He shouted as the sleigh warped out of sight, "Merry Christmas to all, to all a good night"
