I once saw a tv show where they actually studyied Star Trek Nerd, or Trekkies as they wanted to be called. You know the type, the people who dress up in starfleet or klingon uniforms and go around conventions calling each other Lieutenant or Captain Klawwwwww or something even worse.

They profiled over 2,000 of them and this is what they discovered. (As close as I can recall it)

"A normal average Trekkier is morbidly obease male of an average age of 30, poor hygine skills, low self astem, poor vision - requiring glasses, no significant other - most are still virigns, who reside at either their mothers home, or a dorm at a local college.

Most are incredibly intelligent, but lack people skills and are often sufforing from some mental disorder that limits their grasp of reality."

The show went on to show a bunch of people doing things that most of us would NEVER get cought doing. Did you know there are people out there that have learned to speak Klingon as if it was a real language and not just made up for the movies?

Hey I like the ships, thats all, ok the weapons too, but I would NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS EVER dress up in a costum, out side of a party, and go out in public.

I just like the weapons and ships. Thats all.
