Captain Kirk, sometimes known as William Shatner, will be receiving an an honorary degree from McGill University at the convocation in June. I had heard about this prospect in Senate a while ago, and being sworn to secrecy has been causing me grief ever since -- my wife and kids were probably wondering why I looked so strange every time his name came up at the dinner table. Yes, I admit that I live in a world where William Shatner, or Captain Kirk, comes up as a subject at the dinner table now and then, although sometimes it's because a building here is unofficially named after him (on the other hand, I confess that I do remember offhand what the Horta like to eat and how to make a bandage for one).
