 If anybody remembers "Space Seed", Khan spent quite a while
 reading the library tapes of the big E. I remember Kirk
 mentioning something like "You've been using our computer quite 
 extensively."( or something like that ). He'd be bound to stumble
 across some Klingon proverbs and trivia of the 23rd century.

 Here's something to think about, if old Gentleman Jim hadn't been
 so nice and polite to Khan, by letting him read all the library 
 files, in his first attack at the Enterprise from Reliant, Khan
 wouldn't have known "right where to hit us" and might not have
 killed Scotty's nephew, Peter Preston.

 The reason I'm bringing up Peter's death is that his death may 
 have affected Scotty's repair ability. If our favorite engineer
 was so greif stricken that it slowed down the speed of fixing
 the warp engines, thus Spock might not have had to make the 
  final sacrifice, Kirk wouldn't have had to steal the Enterprise,
  David wouldn't have died, and so on ...

  I realize that I'm rambling on, but thought that many things could
  have been changed if Kirk hadn't shown Khan the library files.
  Hmmm, I wonder what could be changed with the Guardian of Forever,
  the slingshot effect, and the sort.
  Hmmmmmmm.....
