1,771,561... that's starting with one tribble, producing an average litter of 10 every twelve hours over three days...
Weeee, I just love the tribble episodes. I just watched Trouble with Tribbles, then followed it up with Trials and Tribble-ations. Makes me miss when Trek was still good. *sigh* But I love Tribbles, I need to get those episodes on DVD, having them on VHS sucks, I hate using the VCR anymore. Blah. I'm spoiled.
Oh, and I have a little family of tribbles. A nice big fat grey one, and a big fat brown one... both of them screetch at me... apparently I'm part Klingon
. I also have a little black one that's all soft and cute... used to be a keychain, but it broke and the person who had it before gave it to me. Then there's my "franken-tribble" as I so affectionately call it, the one that was made for me by a guy in my sewing class in 8th grade :) I got everyone on a tribble making kick without actually making one myself, and the guy made a white one using black thread. You can still see the thread, so I call it franken-tribble :) They all live in a nice little plastic box with air slits and a handle for transport, and I'm careful to not feed 'em too much. No need to let 'em reproduce on me :)
