The Anatomy of a Tribble

By Miss Cellania in Film on Apr 19, 2010 at 6:20 am

Tribbles {wiki} appeared in a 1967 episode of Star Trek: TOS and returned in the spin-off series and movies. Romulan Whore posted this diagram of the inside of a tribble, and attributed it to the Star Fleet Reference Manual. Since there are quite a few such manuals, I don’t know who the artist is.

    That episode was inspired by a chapter called Flat Cats Factorial in the Robert Heinlein novel “Flat Cats Factorial”.

    Damn it. The novel was “The Rolling Stones”. Sorry about that.

    Not exactly. David Gerrold realized that it bore some resemblances to the Robert Heinlein story. He wrote Heinlein, who said, “Don’t worry about it, I probably stole the idea from ‘Pigs Is Pigs’ by Ellis Parker Butler.

    Nonono! The Eighteen Century Dandies concocted the idea to stuff the poor Tribbles in their orifices, thus bringing the species extinct. Then was pick-up by heresay and turned into fiction…
