Nichelle Nichols (Uhura on the original series):”Whoopi Goldberg, she’s just marvellous. I had no way of knowing that she was a Star Trek fan. When I finally met her it was her first year on the Next Generation.

She loved the show so much and she told her agent she wants a role on Star Trek. Well agents go ‘Big screen, little screen, no, you can’t do that’. Well you can’t tell Whoopi ‘You can’t do that’.

And so they finally asked, and they had the same reaction at Star Trek office, specifically Gene. And she said, ‘I want to meet him and I want him to tell me to my face. If he tells me he doesn’t want me and why, I’ll be fine.’

Knowing Gene he had to take that challenge, and so he met with her. She said, ‘I just wanted you to tell me why you don’t want me in Star Trek.’

Gene said, ‘Well, I’ll just ask you one question and I’ll make my decision on that. You’re a big screen star, why do you want to be on a little screen, why do you want to be in Star Trek?’

And she looked at him and she said, ‘Well, it’s all Nichelle Nichols’ fault.’

That threw him, he said, ‘What do you mean?’

She said, ‘Well when I was nine years old Star Trek came on,’ and she said, ‘I looked at it and I went screaming through the house, “Come here, mum, everybody, come quick, come quick, there’s a black lady on television and she ain’t no maid!”’ And she said, ‘I knew right then and there I could be anything I wanted to be, and I want to be on Star Trek.’

And he said, ‘I’ll write you a role.’

I’m sure that Mrs. Hudson’s husband committed a great number of crimes in order to get sentenced to death. From the way she flinches when Sherlock slams his hands on the table, I’d say it’s safe to bet that one of his many crimes was spousal abuse.

That would certainly account for why Sherlock ensured his execution.

And why Sherlock got so enraged when he saw that she had been hurt

And why she acted as if she were perfectly fine when she was hurt.

wow can we not

are oranges named orange because they’re orange or is orange called orange because oranges are orange

which came first: the orange or orange

Orange was first used to refer to the fruit around 1300 but not used as a color word until around 1540.

then what was the colour called before then

Before England was exposed to the fruit, the colour was referred to as “yellow-red” or “red-yellow”. [Source]

Signal boost for my followers. I hate this kind of virus :S Then again, I hate ALL viruses.

Can I ask how it’s a virus? I mean I played it and it seemed to just be a youtube video. Same for the last one people were freaking out about? Do we have any evidence it’s a virus? What does it do?

[Edit: I just ran a virus check and got no hits. If a virus is about it’s a pretty crap one because this computer has minimal virus protection and it didn’t get in.]
