Ever wondered what all that star date stuff was on those Star Trek episodes? I mean, when they say, "Star date 44381.1. We just arrived at Deneb 3 to investigate massive unobtainium emissions", when is based on our calendar system? Is that January 3, 2256? Or when? No. Whattaya mean it's just me? C'mon, just admit your inner nerd is dying to know. Or... um... not. I know you caught the reference to Avatar when I wrote "unobtainium." hee hee. You didn't? sigh...
Anyway, here is a website that you can use to figure out the star date for any date you are interested in finding out the star date for. Um, I wrote that and not sure I understand. Click the link and it should be easy to figure what to do. Scroll down to the first calculator doo-hickey and do a few calculations. You know you wanna...
For instance, my birthday this year is equal to star date 63761.1. My birthdate is equal to star date 12760.5. Holy crap! I'm almost 50000 star dates old! Yeah, whatever...
Dunno what a "star date" actually means. It is based on a fictional television show, ya know!

Speaking of Avatar, Debbie and I watched it the other night. My first time. Debbie's second time. She wouldn't tell me crap about what was gonna happen or if I guess what was gonna happen. "You'll see"... sheesh. Good movie in an of itself. Too much effort trying to make the Na'vi into some sort of Native American humanoids. There will be horse-like critters with six legs another world? Bows and arrows? Seriously? Hadda know from the beginning that Sully would save the day or something when the dandelion seed/jellyfish floaters landed on Sully's body. Wonder if there will be an Avatar 2?

Who is the dork supreme who figured this out???
Dork???? Genius, perhaps. But nowhere near dorkage level... this is the kind of mind that solves time travel and transporting matter using light beams.
Was it you, Dad?
LOL Um, no. I'm no genius. Dork? Yes.
