Will the real Chief O'Brien please stand up

Here's a rather amusing little anecdote.
This morning on CNN, this was a segment featuring the proposed revamp of NASA and the guest speaker, we were told, was Miles O'Brien.
Alas, it was with a twist.
It was indeed Miles O'Brien - but rather, not Miles Edward O'Brien as played by Colm Meaney on
The Next Generation and
Deep Space Nine, bur rather a NASA spokesperson by the
name of Miles O'Brien.
Amusing, yes.
Needless to say, there are unconfirmed reports of Trekkies arming proton torps. at CNN...

I'm betting CNN's Miles O'Brien gets his share of jokes and/or torture on that twist of fate

No, I would
never try to bait Stofsk like that.

Maybe this is how that cult of Trekkies they mentioned in Futurama got started

While we're at it I work with a Gary Mitchell, but no he does not have glowing eyes.

And one of the guys in the choir at my university is named Patrick Stewart. Which is seriously ironic, because he was a right xenophobic bastard while we were on the trip to Britain. Kept saying the Brits are retarded for driving on the wrong side of the road. To their faces.
