Or aliens who picked a name they thought was common when actually it was the fictitious name of a famous character and they weren't aware of that! Or he's so tired of people asking that he's perfected the innocent act XD But how can you just not know.

Egypt fic! 8D But um. That's about my relationship with Egyptian history? Like, Egypt still exists, so logically there must be something linking the Hellenistic period to 2010, but it's pretty foggy.

I can't believe there is a guy named James Kirk and he doesn't know what Star Trek is. Frankly, I'm kind of surprised that there are people out there who don't know what Star Trek is. Especially considering the reboot only came out a year ago.

This made my inner-Trekkie laugh in joy and cry in bewilderment at the same time. JAMES KIRK DOESN'T KNOW WHAT STAR TREK IS?
