It’s fun! It’s fascinating! It’s fast! Now you, too, can develop that special lingo used in many Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes. Simply choose a number from each of the four columns and put together the resulting words. Instant technobabble! For instance, choosing “3 1 2 2” would result in “annular confinement beam.” Or how about “1 2 4 3”? That’s “anaphasic energy being!” Amaze your friends! Impress your relatives! Start sounding just like La Forge and Data today!
