They would be Calvin’s allies against the Romulans. The Romulans’ weakness was coca-cola. An injection of coca-cola in the blood-stream produced death. Except for on area, however, the Romulans’ skin was totally toughness with a capital T.

Calvin readied his strato-cruiser and prepared his favorite meal. Frotos and crasberry bread will be just the nourishment during the long journey at warped-out speeds.
In the West, most people associate the art form of bonsai with Japan. Although most bonsai designed today by Western artists follow the traditional philosophies and techniques for bonsai that have been developed in Japan, the roots of bonsai are in China.
Approximately two thousand years ago, the Chinese literati, men of great wealth and education, would travel from the cities into the countryside to contemplate nature, write poetry, and paint.
They soon discovered that they could also create artistic representations of nature by collecting small trees from the countryside, placing them in pots, and training them to resemble their full-size brethren.
Using wires, weights, and levers, these early bonsai artists created trees that had the look of majestic, old trees that had weathered the extremes of nature and survived.

Let me end this with a quote about video games from the once upon a time president of the USA, Ronald Reagan made August 8, 1983:
“I recently learned something quite interesting about video games. Many young people have developed incredible hand, eye, and brain coordination in playing these games. The air force believes these kids will be our outstanding pilots should they fly our jets.”
