A hypothetical question for the humans in the audience.

[qcontinuum]

Is it actually true that male humans prefer objects of sexual desire to look younger than they do, and female humans prefer them to be older?

Also, if it is true: how *much* younger/older?

Not that I have any actual need for the information, or anything. Just... idle curiosity.

Comments

That would be telling.

I will give you a hint, though.

Consider the date.

Consider the significance of dates in the very near future.

Enterprise Aid?

Today is friday...and the party you are having is July 13th. July 13th is the anniversary of the 1985 charity concert Live Aid.

*headtilts and looks curious* Are you planning to have us put on a charity concert as well?

No, afraid not.

[qcontinuum.livejournal.com]

I don't do charity work.

You're not looking in the right place. Maybe your pal geordi_laforge might have a clue, since he gave me the idea.

Re: No, afraid not.

You are charity work.

I know you are, but what am I?

[qcontinuum.livejournal.com]

Riker, did a transporter accident transform your brain into a kindergartner's while I wasn't paying attention? A retort like that one... well, color me embarrassed. I knew you were stupid, but not that stupid. How will I ever live down thinking you had potential once?

::looks you up and down::

color me embarrassed

I wouldn't color you anything, that requires me to touch you.

How will I ever live down thinking you had potential once?

The same way I live with the thought that you are an oh so annoyingly charming charity case.

Okay, I'm not continuing this conversation.

I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person.

Re: Okay, I'm not continuing this conversation.

[will-riker.livejournal.com]

Yea, I don't blame you. Must be hard conversing with yourself.

Ah! I know now. It is the captain's birthday.

(Alpine thinks the captain is turning a zillion. I disagree. I think he is only 100.)

*says this with a straight face and nods*

Yeah, it's his birthday. But I don't think cracks about his age would go down real well, Data. Just saying.

*holds up "Mr. Tricorder"* I apologize. I shall try to behave myself in the future.

*regular voice* It is...the return of Mr. Tricorder!!

*laughs as though this is the funniest thing in the entire world!!*

Mr Tricorder?

[geordi-laforge.livejournal.com]

Oh no. The last time I saw 'Mr. Tricorder', I ended up getting tortured by Soran. Ummm...I think that I'll just be hiding staying in Engineering for the time being. *nervous*
