Cracked published an article about Wah Chang today.
Of course you all know about Wah Chang. Thanks to Inside Star Trek I already knew that he designed the classic phaser, tricorder, and communicator, but going through Memory Alpha let's look at his full contributions... * The "Cage" laser pistol * Romulan Bird-of-Prey (the "Balance of Terror" version, also called Vas Hatham class in the Expanded Universe) * The original tribbles * The salt vampire (I just can't call it the M-113 creature) * The flying parasites from "Operation: Annihilate" (sometimes called blastoneurons). Wah Chang's full involvement in TOS was suppressed for the longest time because he wasn't a member of the propmaker's union.
