If you'd only asked about a club sandwich, I'd have to go with the Klingon Empire.

Maybe but there is something I don't like about actually needing to "CLUB" the sandwich before eating.

Besides they say processed food won't hurt ya. "Tea, earl-gray, hot!"

Title: Life's Greatest Mysteries

I read something extremely interesting about Star Trek recently. Dr. Timothy Leary's Eight-circuit model of consciousness says that humans are currently at the circuit four stage of development, and that circuits five through eight represent the future of human consciousness. Circuit one is biosurvival, two is territorial/emotional, three is conceptual/rational, four is social/sexual. This paper said that Star Trek represents humans exploring consciousness, with Scotty as being circuit one, McCoy being two, Spock being three, and Kirk being four, and they journey through space/consciousness (same thing really) encountering the various other circuit-races, however crudely presented.

Just for reference, here are circuits five through eight; email me if you want more info:

Five - neurosomatic (means mind over matter)
Six - neuroelectric
Seven - neurogenetic
Eight - neuroatomic

Eight is the circuit concerned with OBE, BTW.

It seems to me that many in the metaphysical community have been pre-
occupied for far too long with TRIVIAL questions such as the follow-
ing:

1) Who built the Great Pyramids?
2) What is the purpose of Stonehenge?
3) What are the meaning of crop circles?

I believe it's time we start focusing on solving the truly GREAT
MYSTERIES such as the following:

1) Were Lieutenant Ohura and Mr. Sulu having secret trysts in the
  shuttlecraft after hours?
2) Was Mr. Kyle running a black market spare parts operation out of
  the transporter room?
3) Who has the best Chicken Club Sandwich--the Federation or the
  Klingon Empire?

Let's start focusing on the REALLY IMPORTANT questions, shall we.
