Summary: 

I have again been repeatedly unable to send Eric mail, so here are my
answers to his last batch of trivia.  They are being posted so late that	
I doubt if they will spoil anyone's fun.  

1. How many episodes can you name in which a phaser is used for something
other than destroying, stunning, or threatening someone or something?

Six.  It heats rocks in Spock's Brain, A Private Little War, and The
Enemy Within; breaks off a piece of rock in Obsession; serves as a power
source for the shuttle in Galileo 7; and "zap, hot coffee" in The
Corbomite Maneuver.  At other times I decided it was "destroying...
something", e.g. the entrance to the cave in The Cloud Minders.

2. How many episodes can you name in which a human has superhuman powers?
(Human, not alien.)

Yeah, but by superhuman powers do you mean *inhuman* or impossibly good
at human-type things?  Does how they got these powers matter?  Does outright
possession by an alien count?  Here is a list of possible answers, depending
on the ruling of the judge on these questions.
Where No Man (Gary and Elizabeth); Charlie X (Charlie); Plato's Stepchildren
(Kirk); Assignment Earth (Gary); Wink of an Eye (Kirk and Spock); Mudd's
Women (the women); Space Seed (Kahn); Requiem for Methuselah (Flint);
Spock's Brain (McCoy); Menagerie (Pike and Vina); Metamorphosis (Cochrane -
if he is human.  I'm not clear on the status of natives of Alpha Centauri);
Day of the Dove (people who healed fast); Lights of Zetar (Mira); Return to
Tomorrow (Kirk et al.); The Children Shall Lead (the children).

3. How many episodes can you name in which we see Kirk without a shirt on?
(Not just ripped.)

Twelve.  Deadly Years, Journey to Babel, Private Little War, What Are Little
Girls Made Of, Patterns of Force, Enemy Within, Charlie X, Corbomite
Maneuver, Gamesters of Triskelion, The Empath, Paradise Syndrome, and 
Turnabout Intruder (his body anyway).

Bonus Question: Name all the locations on the Enterprise where we see food
or drink produced/created.

Another toughie.  I assume references to ship blueprints are not allowed.
Names for these rooms are rarely used in the scripts.  However --
the transporter room (Tomorrow is Yesterday); the recreation room a la the
third season (very large with plants) like in And the Children Shall Lead;
and the officer's lounge, or small recreation room, as in By Any Other
Name, or Tribbles. Elsewhere food seems to be carried into the room.

Thanks. I enjoyed.
