Sometimes you just need to be honest, shrug your shoulders and surrender yourself to your inner geek. Such a moment just came for me when I read this post over at Kottke.org:
“Maybe the Green Mountains are like Klingons and have two hearts?”
My eye had barely skipped over the question mark when my inner geek’s nasal, whiny voice whispered in my head that Klingons don’t have two hearts, but Timelords do. Klingon bodies have multiple redundant systems and an eight-chambered heart, but it’s still just the one heart. Timelords, on the other hand, actually have two separate hearts.
As I wept for my future happiness my inner geek did an energetic (yet still tragically geeky) victory dance.

I didn’t know it, and now I’m not gonna forget it….
