über dinge die man im netz so stößt, wenn man doch eigentlich was nützliches wissen will :)

hier überlegungen gefunden, was man beachten sollte, käme man in die verlegenheit ein hero oder gar ein starfleet captain zu sein -> obwohl, das eine schließt das andere ja schon irgendwie mit ein ;)
achtung: viel text (zu viel um es hier zu posten) und alles auf englisch. ausserdem, so finde ich, sehr sarkastisch die typischen sci-fi(fantasy) bücher/filme auf die schippe genommen und der untere teil ist ersichtlich star trek
einiges herausgegriffen:

Items for Heroes in general

• If an associate begins to transform into something large and threatening, I will immediately act to neutralize the threat, and not wait until the transformation is complete. Likewise, if an enemy begins to metamorphosize into something else, I will immediately start whacking away at it, instead of watching in fascination.
• If I am offered two explanations for a phenomenon, one a logical, scientific explanation and the other a load of New Age claptrap, I will accept the scientific explanation.
• I will never allow fashion sense to prevent me from carrying whatever is useful or needful for the Heroic Struggle.

Vows every Starfleet captain should take

• If a member of my crew can perfectly mimic my voice giving the commands to take control of my ship, additional security measures they cannot mimic will be added, such as palmprints or retinal scans.
• If my ship is whisked to the far side of the galaxy, leaving us with a seventy-year journey home, and a super-being offers to take us home instantly in exchange for having his baby, I'll agree and ask what we can get for two babies.
• I will not let the Whiz Kid conduct research aboard my ship. If he's got a theory that he's itching to test, I will deposit him on an uninhabited planet in friendly space, and make sure that I'm out of the system before he's done unpacking.

und mein absoluter favorit:

• I will not ask "What does God need with a space ship?" and then order a torpedo strike. I will order the torpedo strike first, and ponder theology on the trip home.

bei der star trek liste sind die bemerkungen teilweise so eindeutig, dass man genau weiß auf welche folge er sich bezieht
