Thanks folks! The song doesn't come from experience--just from my college biology classes. The classes involved lots of studying & memorization to get A's--so here it is 2 years later, and I still remeber it all (I got the A, BTW). Oh McGrath, Star Trek doesn't use technobabble--you need to read the Star Trek Technical Manual--where you can understand what EPS conduits, plasma manifolds, the warp grid, and the antimatter chambers are, as well as other features of warp mechanics. I do! And some of it's really technologically accurate. There was this one episode where Ferengis hijacked the Enterprise--so the crew used technobabble to confuse them so they couldn't pilot the ship--mostly babble that had references to Back To The Future and Quantum Leap. Ha ha!

Oh yeah, my brains out there fighting the foreign enemy--only problem is in my particular "ailment" the foreign enemy is actually a natural part of the body that the brains randomly chooses to destroy. Not a very good thing!
