[quoteost_uid0="Zeke"][color=#000000ost_uid0]The Hodgson thing is a TOS reference. In one episode ("Patterns of Force," right, IJD?), Spock refers to Hodgson's Law of Parallel Planetary Development, which explained away the Earthlike planets Kirk kept running into.[/colorost_uid0][/quoteost_uid0]
[color=#000000ost_uid0]I thought it was "Bread and Circuses".

Anyway, great fiver, Zeke. The "I shot the sheriff" joke gets special groan mention, but the whole fiver was absolutely superb.[/colorost_uid0]
