I was rather amused to read today's technology blog on the BBC. It made mention of my favourite SF programme Star Trek and how it encourages scientific invention. However it would appear that the writer had made an error in an earlier version of the blog, stating that Patrick Stewart had played James T Kirk. By the time I read it she had corrected it to read:

Update 1134: Apologies to all enraged Trekkers and appalled Trekkies. After carefully avoiding either of those divisive terms throughout this post, the last line contained a clanger, conflating Captains Picard and Clark. This has now been rectified.

Umm, who's Captain Clark?
