SalmonChantedEvening
(31,951 posts)It happens every 7 years, and it makes them insane.

(21,848 posts)Now I have an idea of SCE does when he is not collecting CatLOLs.

(17,252 posts)Every seven years, Vulcan males and females become aroused. They undergo a blood fever, become violent, and finally die unless they mate with someone with whom they are empathically bonded or engage in a ritual battle known as kal-if-fee.
A common misconception associated with the series (and Spock in particular) is that Vulcans only have sex once every seven years. However, pon farr is not coincident with the sex lives of Vulcans, and they are able to have intercourse without the affliction, and thus more than once every seven years. TOS writer and continuity story editor, D. C. Fontana, explains that pon farr is not the only time that Vulcans feel sexual desire or engage in sexual activity:
Vulcans mate normally any time they want to. However, every seven years you do the ritual, the ceremony, the whole thing. The biological urge. You must, but any other time is any other emotionhumanoid emotionwhen you're in love. When you want to, you know when the urge is there, you do it. This every-seven-years business was taken too literally by too many people who don't stop and understand. We didn't mean it only every seven years. I mean, every seven years would be a little bad, and it would not explain the Vulcans of many different ages which are not seven years apart.[1]
Vulcans not only are able to mate outside of pon farr, they are also able to mate with species other than Vulcan e.g., in Star Trek: The Original Series, Spock's parents are human/vulcan couple; In Star Trek: Enterprise, T'pol, a vulcan, has a romantic and sexual relationship with Trip, a human; in the Star Trek reboot, Spock is in a relationship with Nyota Uhura.

(6,640 posts)SINCE YOU AREN'T A TREKKIE, HERE IS THE INFORMATION. You are reading the sentence as if it were, Since you are a Trekkie, you should know. There is a world of difference. I suggest next time you are in your Language Arts class, ask your teacher about it.

I don't know why you felt the need to go on an attack of sorts but totally unneccessary.

NJCher
(35,667 posts)because of the detail on the photographs.
Because I live in a woods, I hear owls all the time--but I never see them. I always think of these owls in the photographs and wonder if they look alike.
Thank you, SCE.

(5,562 posts)I can always tell when they're around because the birds just go wild. I've been able to get some really good photos too.

abakan
(1,819 posts)I love the Prince as Bob Ross and the owl in flight, the fish and the goat.
Not being a trekkie the two Star Trek references went right over my head, until they were pointed out. So my lol was delayed.
