You are standing by a switch which will change the track a train is traveling on. On the track in which the train is heading are four people who do not see the train coming. You can flip the switch to save them, but this would put the train on a track with one person standing on it. You cannot call out to them or save them in any other way - if you do nothing, four people will die, and if you take action, one person will die. What do you do?

Cool! I hear it's great!
This is fun!
I can wait .. I'm seeing the Avengers movie tomorrow! Yay!
I was gonna say that ... Oh we think the same .. I just love Spock!

What I like about the Vulcans, is I swear I can see their emotions on their faces, they just keep such tight control on them. I would burst a gasket!

Right .. Spock did show emotions in a subtle way .. I loved that.

Except during pon farr, or if they contract bendaii syndrome. What's funny, is that men go through pon farr very emotionally, and it's the women that keep them in check. from losing thier minds completely.

So pon farr overwhelms kohlinar? :-) Whose up for a round of rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock?

All Vulcans undergo pon farr, but not all study the discipline of kohlinar. Lizard.

I did not know that. Scissors. :-p

Yep. And pon farr is a mating imperative. It has to be fulfilled. But Vulcans have sex all the rest of the time, and since most are low level telepaths, it strenghtens their bonds to one another. Rock. :)

Wow, you know a lot about Vulcans! I would not have guessed that either. I thought Vulcans were too logical to bother with having sex, and only couldn't avoid it when their biological imperative kicked in. What's the point of pon farr then? I thought it was to make those damned Vulcans revert to their primal instincts so they would get down and dirty, usually being too proper and enlightened for such earthly pleasures. Spock!

"Great clip, Tony.  People need to realize that not everybody superfluously and automatically thanks god in a time of crisis.  Maybe he's learned a lesson and become a smarter man. "
