Blog Entry: Was Lincoln a Trekkie?
2005 September 25, 01:11 PM
Star Trek fans (Trekkies or "Trekkers" if you take yourself too
seriously) know that the creators of Star Trek like the number 47, and
try to sneak it in where-ever they can. Trekkies follow their lead,
and do the same. All this got me to wondering about President Abraham
Lincoln's Gettysburg address which began "4 score and 7 years ago", a
clear reference to the number 47 (otherwise, he could've said "87
years ago" or "In 1776" or something like that). For those of you
naysayers who believe Lincoln pre-dated Star Trek, just watch "Episode
77: The Savage Curtain".
