How William Shatner Changed the World

No commentary here, really. Just pointing out that there's actually a program tonight on The History Channel with the title "How William Shatner Changed the World."

This 2-hour special will reveal how scientists, inspired by Star Trek, would revolutionize medicine and are surpassing the far-out vision of the future foreshadowed in the 1960s TV series.

Hey, it beats another documentary about WWII...
