	In a previous article it mentioned how the security men, the guys
in the red uniforms, always got killed.  This is very true, as I found
after watching a Star Trek fesitval that was given in Los Angeles two summers
ago.  Because Star Trek was going off the air, they decided to play 15 episodes
back-to-back from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm.  I didn't miss a second.

	My point is this, that I found this saying to be true whenever a
landing party transported to a planet:

			"Red man, Dead man."

As far as I know they haven't failed yet.  This may not hold in every case
but there is an amusing consistency.  It is especially fun to watch
in the episode, I can't remember the name, with Val ("Val hungers, we
must feed him...").  Or is it Vol?
