Stupid things I think about

A few years ago there was a documentary about how Star Trek inspired various technologies and inventions. "How William Shatner Changed the World" did an excellent job with technology, but, by their own admission, fell down a bit on arts and culture. They missed the one of the most popular creations/inspirations due to Star Trek.

Shakira.

Yes, the Columbian singer is a direct descendant of Star Trek, and the Gene Rodenberry creation has never received its due for this marvelous addition to the pop scene.

The naissance of all that is Shakira is clearly obvious in this clip. The fur bikini top, the hypnotising and salubrious dancing and writhing, all Shakira, and all Trek.

Feast your eyes, feast I say!
