For TV Tropes reasons I was wandering around Memory Alpha looking at guest stars who portrayed both human and alien characters. What did I discover? Phil Morris (Thopok ("Looking for Par'mach"), Third Remata'Klan ("Rocks and Shoals"), and John Kelley "One Small Step")) also played one of the Onlies in "Miri"!

Characters from the Land of Make Believe (Mister Rogers) cameoed on Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego!
So if Mister Rogers coexist with Carmen Sandiego and Sesame Street and Captain Kangaroo...that's one weird shared universe.

The Blackberry range of cellphones was named because the keys looked like the drupelets of a blackberry.
And the second amazing thing that I learned today is the word "drupelet", meaning a small fruit surrounding a seed, found in clusters. Amazing thing #3 is that the technical difference between a blackberry and raspberry is that when you pick the berry off the stem the torus (the part of the stem that the drupelets surround) sticks with the plant leaving a hollow berry (raspberries) or breaks off with the berry (blackberries). I had remembered that the term "drupe" was attached to peaches, but it was deep in my memory. Drupelets are smaller than drupes. Amazing thing #4 is the technical definition of "berry", a fruit that doesn't have a stone or pit. We would consider this definition too broad, as it also includes stuff like grapes, tomatoes, and eggplants that we don't consider berries.

Frank Drake of The Drake Equation only died a few days ago!
The Drake Equation calculates the number of interstellar civilizations in the galaxy. The real version is  When writing the pitch for Star Trek Gene didn't remember the real equation, so he created the completely nonsensical  Whatever Gene's talents, mathematics wasn't one of them. Why raise things to the first power?

Weird Al picked Daniel Radcliffe to play him in the biopic because of Radcliffe's performance of "The Elements Song."
Tom Lehrer was an inspiration to later generations of humorous musicians, and he's still alive at 94. I'm willing to give Radcliffe a chance, but he just doesn't seem wacky enough to play Yankovic.

Kai Winn was only in 14 episodes!
That was a shock to me. Furthermore, she wasn't in a single Season 4 episode.
