| Sev Trek: The Comic Strip The Number 47! For some strange reason, the number 47 keeps popping up on Star Trek shows! After a bizarre email praising 47 from Tai Shimizu and encountering the obsessive web site, "Land of Schlock: The 47s", I decided to do this week's strip on every Trekkie's favourite number. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Other Punchlines | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| These comics are created from the winning entries of The Write Your Own Sev Trek Competition. The winning entry was written by Lord Fledrinnian, an homage to Douglas Adam's infamous 42. There were a number of punchlines refering to Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but this was one of the cleverest ones. Here are some of the other funniest entries... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 Adam Leonard | It's the only piece of continuity the producers can put into the show. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Scott Cowan | It's just another plot twist we recycled from The X Generation | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Brian Mc | It's part of the prime-number directive! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Caitlin Moriarity | Why not? Everything else on this show is repeated. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lt. (jg) Kosh V. Pickle | The writers hope that a prime number means prime time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
jdwiseman | For Seven's sake! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
namgubed the merry elf | Because we're 5 cards shy of a full deck | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Chrysalde | All Sev Fleet ships are designed by Boeing. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Flu | "Set phasers on stun! The next one to say that gets shot 47 times!" (Zap!) (ZZZTTT!) (ZAP!) "OUCH!" (thud)... Sev Note: This punchline gets points for enthusiasm. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Chris Cole | It's easier to say than 101111 in binary! Sev Note: I'm not sure if this punchline is that funny, but it's sheer nerdliness got it onto the Entries Page! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
quix | 4 score and 7 years ago........... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Brian | It's our mission: to last for seven seasons. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Tai Shimizu | 4 the 7th time, the show is too cheap to even think of a new number. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Devon Bates | 42 is the meaning of life. 47 is the meaning of Sev. Sev Note: My posting this punchline is NOT official endorsement that 47 actually is the meaning of Sev. K'Sara

| The writers can't count any higher. Sir Richard
| If I've told you once, I've told you 47 times... Namgubed the Merry Elf
