One of my favorite DS9 episodes is "The Sound of Her Voice", and the amazing thing that I learned today is that the Olympia has never been assigned a starship class, even in the expanded universe.
Memory Alpha says that the wreckage reuses parts of the exploded Enterprise from Search for Spock. However, it seems unlikely that the Olympia was meant to be refit Constitution-class (I still like to call this the Enterprise-class from Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise, but it's hardly canon). The only Constitution-class we see in the 24th century is a wrecked hull at Wolf 359. The image of the wrecked Olympia reminds me of the Oberth class, but I can't see such a small ship being sent outside the Federation for eight years. Maybe it's meant to be Excelsior-class, who knows...

I thought I knew about all the mainline Mario games and their ports, but today I learned about Super Mario Bros. Special.
It's sort of a port of Mario 1 for the PC-8801 (an 8-bit computer made in Japan in the early '80s). I guess it can stay in the dustbin next to Dangerous Dave in Copyright Infringement.

Steven Spielberg is making a new version of West Side Story!
I don't know how to feel about this. Was the original movie so good that it can't be improved on? No, of course not. Will Spielberg take the story in new directions that will take it away from the West Side Story identity? I'm afraid the answer will be yes.

You can only survive in a Bag of Holding for ten minutes before you suffocate!
So the D&D nerds have actually discussed what happens if you put living objects in a BOH, or pull one over your head, or whatever. And they've decided that if you put a BOH inside another BOH you'll create a rift that will suck everything within ten feet into another dimension.

My parents were big fans of MASH, so of course I knew about the spinoff AfterMASH. The amazing thing that I learned today is that Rosalind Chao was one of the stars of it, and she married Klinger!
