Spock says, "Fascinating."

I find I do, a lot, too, when I find something interesting.

Maybe it's some kind of by-osmosis effect of being in the same room when my dad was watching the old original Star Trek (in re-runs on channel 43 out of Cleveland).

But anyway, these are fascinating. Apparently fake "business cards" were made as a licensed "fan item" back in the 60s and 70s.

(The writers of the website kind of diss all of them, but I have to admit the Star Trek ones seem fairly wonderful to me: for one thing, they capture a 60s style on the cards...my dad had colleagues who had somewhat similar business cards in the early 70s. (particularly the engineers and well-drilling guys, they'd have little drill rigs or whatever drawn on the cards).

And I have to admit, it makes me smile at the sheer alternative-universe quality of it. It amuses me in the same way that the steampunk or 1940s or whatever re-imaginings of Star Wars characters makes me smile. You're seeing something in a different way, and it maybe hits you upside the head a little bit and makes you chuckle a little - or realize something about the original that you never really thought about before.
