Alien Corner
DENOBULANS
Technically advanced Humanoid species originating on the planet Denobula in the Denobula Triaxia system. The Denobulans have had contact with Humanity since at least 2151, and one of their number worked with Earth's Starfleet in that year. Denobulans can be identified by the characteristic bone ridges on their face. They tend to be a friendly and outgoing people, curious about the world around them and especially interested in the customs and habits of the alien species they meet.
The Denobulans have a complex mating patterns, including a periodic mating season. Details of the mating process are relatively scarce, but the Denobulans have males and females much as Humans do, with at least two "combatants" engaged in the act of mating. They produce strong pheromones to indicate when they are interested in a romantic relationship. The Denobulans practice group marriages, with several wives and husbands in a single family group.
They had a form of entertainment similar to movies a few hundred years ago, but these lost their appeal when the people realised that their real lives were much more interesting. As a rule, Denobulans don't like to be touched by others. Parts of the Denobulan night life can be disturbing to the uninitiated, and it is not advisable to venture out at night alone. Denobulan males are very uncomfortable undressing in front of others, but are quite comfortable naked when alone. Most Denobulans do not talk during meals, as they regard it as a waste of time.
The Denobulans fought a series of wars with the Antarans, with the last finishing around 1851. Much animosity still exists between the two species, especially on the Antaran side. Denobulans regard stress induced hallucinations as a healthy and harmless way for a person to release nervous energy.
Denobulans normally require very little sleep, but they do hibernate for six days each year - if woken during this cycle they are extremely groggy and unsure of their surroundings. When stressed, a Denobulan will sometimes initiate an instinctive defence mechanism which causes their face to puff up to about twice normal size, intimidating an attacker.

Crio’s Corner
===From the Office of Captain Crio Ijoula --- USS Terrasect===
I did get some participation in last week's trivia question. Keep it up. I'd like to see more people joining in.
==============================
Last week's question was a TOS question, carrying a difficulty rating of 4.
=/\= According to the records of the Starship Enterprise, who was the first enemy they encountered, that openly fired on the Enterprise?
<ANSWER>
The Romulans
Correct answer received by:
Fleet Admiral James Harsting
Lieutenant J'Den
*Eager-beaver question*
Before the battle, two Enterprise crewmembers were about to get married. Name both the bride and groom.
<ANSWER>
Angela Martine and Robert Tomlinson
Correct answer received by:
Fleet Admiral James Harsting
Lieutenant J'Den
(( The main question was submitted by Commander Vanessa Lucifel, and was based from the Classic Star Trek episode "Balance of Terror" ))
==============================
* Because of such limited participation, I'm going to lessen the difficulty of the next several main questions.
This week's question is a Deep Space Nine (DS9) question, carrying a difficulty rating of 1.5
=/\= According to Ben Sisko and Jadzia Dax, Curzon Dax's name is revered by what race, because of spending so much time among them?
*Eager-beaver question*
When Jadzia underwent the Trill zhin'tara ritual to allow her to 'meet' all of Dax's previous hosts, who embodied Curzon, and what was the real reason why Curzon washed Jadzia out of the Initiate program?
==============================
Thank you for supporting Crio's Trivia Corner
The answer will appear in next week's edition of the UF Weekly newsletter. Good luck to everyone.
As always, please email your answers or guesses to chrisdeel@aol.com Please put either "Trivia", or "Crio's Trivia Corner" in the subject line.
Humor

Best Bumper sticker on Borg ship
Blonde Borgs have the same fun
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Chakotay: Whatever its reason, whatever its goals, we should respect its right to cross the road and seek its own spiritual awareness.
Neelix: Actually, Captain, I'm not really familiar with the chickens in this system. But, if you can catch it, I can cook it.
Riker: I don't know why, but I know how: with pleasure, sir.
Worf: KLINGON chickens do NOT cross roads.
HoloDoc: How should I know? No one tells me anything around here. I didn't even know we added chickens to the crew. All I know is that it would have been nice, BEFORE the chicken went off to the cross the road, if it had remembered to turn me off!
Dr. Crusher: If there's nothing wrong with the chicken, there must be something wrong with the universe.
Dr. Soran: His heart just wasn't in it. (Scenes of chicken torture with nanoprobes have been edited out.)
Scotty: Because she couldna take much morrrrrre.
Odo: I don't know, but I'm sure it must be Quark's fault.
Quark: Who, me?
Charlie X: Because it didn't want to STAY...STAY...STAY...
Kirk: You chicken bastard, you killed my son...YOU chicken BASTARD, you killed...my SON...you CHICKEN bastard....you killed my...son!
Troi: I feel the chicken's pain!
Kira: It was probably being chased by those cursed Cardassians.
Bones: Dammit, I'm a doctor, not an ornithologist!
Data: The chicken, in observing that it was on the opposite side of the 20th century Terran paved roadway, was aware that its immediate goal should have been to traverse the distance without interception by an kind of combustion-propelled personal transport vehicle, but I am unclear as to why any kind of domesticated fowl should desire to perambulate upon a conveyance normally reserved for the usage of...yes, sir.
The Borg: Crossing the road is irrelevant. The chicken will be assimilated.
Hugh the Borg: Maybe it just needed a big hug!
B'Elanna: I'm sure it felt suffocated by all the bleeping regulations of bleeping Starfleet and just couldn't stand it any longer!
Picard: There are four lights!
Q: Wouldn't you like to know? Too bad your puny human brain wouldn't be able to comprehend the answer.
Uhura: Shall I open hailing frequencies so you can ask it, sir?
Tasha: That depends...was it fully functional?
Chekov: It must have been on its way to assist in saving my life for the billionth time..did I scream this time?
Khan: With my last breath I spit at the chicken...
Harry: I don't know, it's my first mission.
Harvey Mudd: Chicken? I don't remember any chicken. No no no, there's been a terrible misunderstanding.
Janeway: Its primary goal was no doubt to get back to the Alpha Quadrant...and it probably misses its dog.
Nurse Chapel: Oh, Spock!
Lwaxana: Oh, Jean-Luc!
Spock: Fascinating, Captain.
V'Ger: To join with the Creator.
The Grand Nagus: Stupid chicken! You don't cross the road all at once! You sneak across it quietly, without anyone noticing!
Gul Dukat: Well, that's a very interesting question...I'm sure we can work out some kind of arrangement to obtain that information that will be to everyone's satisfaction.
Kes: It was remembering back to the times when its ancestors crossed roads all the time! They lost those abilities because they stopped using them!
O'Brien: No problem, Commander, I'll get right on it.
Wesley: I'm not sure, but I can figure it out if I reroute these systems and reconfigure the warp field and run a complete internal whootchacallit on the computers and...
Sisko: It was seeking deeper meaning. Jake, do you see what we've learned from all this?
Geordi: Well, wherever it's going, I'm sure it'll have more luck with women than I do.
Sulu: Don't call me Tiny!
Sarek: Sometimes logic fails me where chickens are concerned.
Dax: To get to the other side. Kurzon might have disagreed with me, Tobin I'm sure wouldn't have had a clue, and then there's...
Tuvok: That's not a question we'd prefer to hear from a senior officer. It makes the junior officers nervous.
Gene Roddenberry: To boldly go where no chicken had gone before.
