So yesterday's little game got mixed results.
Margaret was the first to come up with a correct answer.
For those who didn't understand it, let me explain.
The device shown in the photo is a Voltohmmeter which normally measures various types of electric units.
The selector knob in the photo is turned to the symbol for ohms, which denotes resistance.
Hence, the device is telling you that "resistance is futile".
The phrase may have been first used in an episode of Doctor Who in 1976.
It turns up fairly often in science fiction movies and television shows.
But most of my nerdy friends connect it to an alien collective known as The Borg in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
And no, I have never seen it either.
I've never been a trekkie.
So for those of us who've never seen it, here's a clip.
And now our lives are complete!
You missed the GORGEOUS BORG Jeri Lynn Ryan (born Jeri Lynn Zimmermann; February 22, 1968) is an American actress who played the former Borg drone Seven of Nine in Star Trek: Voyager, for which she was nominated four times for a Saturn Award and won in 2001. She has reprised her role as Seven of Nine in Star Trek: Picard.
ReplyDeleteI knew it right away, being a Trekker from way back. :)
ReplyDeleteLL thought of the same Borg I did.
ReplyDeleteThere's a similar theme in later Dr Who episodes with the Cybermen.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the explanation :) Learned something new tonight!
