Seriously, when you think you have the problem fixed, you find it is something else! In short, my laptop is having issues. Agh! It might take a little bit to resolve, so bear with me here, okay?

In the meantime, let's see how many of you guessed correctly why I had to wait until now to post this Reason (if you guessed at all). I had to get this one up while it was still (mostly) relevant.

Remember to review and request (I'm getting around to those, I promise!). If you have Rule suggestions, send them in a PM.

Rule #425: Good Lord, where do you guys find that song? Please stop playing it, it… it… forget it, we're at a loss for words.

"Spock? You're still here?"

Spock spun around in (rare) surprise to find Kirk stepping out of the turbo-lift onto the empty Bridge.

"Where is the shift crew?" Kirk asked, looking around.

"I let them go," Spock said, turning back to the project he had been working on. "I am quite capable of running the ship on my own, as nothing that requires more than one person is occurring right now."

"Mm-hmm," Kirk replied. He walked over to the Science Officer's station. "Spock, what are you working on?"

"A very difficult mathematical explanation that I am close to completing,"
Spock replied.

"Mathematical explanation of what?" Kirk asked. "You've been working on it all day!"

That was true. Spock had been working on this one proof all day, except during his shifts. He normally would have worked on it in his quarters, or a lab, but the labs were not empty, and his personal computer access in his quarters was still experiencing difficulties associated with a viral prank by the computer science dept. last week. Thus, Spock had been forced to use his station Computer terminal.

"A mathematical explanation of how bad this song is, Captain," Spock replied. "And I believe I have found it…"

"What song, Spock?" Kirk asked.

Spock looked up at him with a look that silently asked, "Do you really want to know?"

"What song?" Kirk repeated.

Spock raised an eyebrow, and turned back to his console. "This one, Captain." He pressed a button, and very strange music came out of the speakers:

"It's Friday, Friday

Gotta get down on Friday

Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend, weekend

It's Friday, Friday

Getting' down on Friday

Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend…"

Kirk reached over and calmly turned the music off. He stood up straight, and nodded. "Carry on, Mr. Spock, let me know when you have found your explanation."

"Yes Captain," Spock replied.

Kirk left the Bridge, and Spock waited a few moments before turning back to his work and muttering to himself about how humans had such questionable tastes in music, and planning to play his lyre once he finished so he could remember what good music was.

Kudos to whoever can find the movie reference hidden in there!
