No way could you assimilate Lojbanists - they're far too fractious Untrue, alas, I believe. Klingons' bolshiness does not render them immune to the Borg menace. Furthermore I expect we all have our assimilational achilles heel: I, for instance, buy food from McDonalds, so presumably the virus of zombification is attacking me via that channel. I was thinking of Borg that have escaped from the Collective -- rational, autistic &c. Several friends and my wife and son have all remarked on the similarity, setting aside the sadly obvious and somewhat humungous differences with regard to extraordinary corporeal beauty, between me and Seven of Nine, & I imagine that I feel at home here because I am among Sad Spocky L0sers who would rather talk Logic than Get a Life (a Life being a thing in which, presumably, one does not talk Logic). --And.
