Star Trek: How Many Tribbles Will Fit in Your House?
Oh, those little creatures that are no Tribble at all. If you’re not familiar with these small, non-intelligent lifeforms known for their prodigious reproductive rate, Tribbles (Polygeminus grex) are part of Star Trek lore. And we’ve all got Star Trek on the brain with the opening of the latest movie, Star Trek: Into Darkness (see our review here). So just for fun, here’s something that Nilz Baris would have loved to have access to. Provided by the folks at Movoto, this handy calculator will will tell you a.) not only how many Tribbles will fit into your home, but also, b.) how long it will take them to be fruitful and multiply to fill your home.
And for more fun here’s some estimates of how many Tribbles will fit into various landmarks, both real and imagined:
Empire State Building
Tribbles: 71,153,846
Time: 96 hours
White House
Tribbles: 1,375,000
Time: 72 Hours
Burj Khalifa
Tribbles: 96,342,614
ime: 96 hours
Painted Lady
Tribbles: 57,692
Time: 60
Wayne Manor
Tribbles: 980,769
Time: 72 hours
Millennium Falcon
Tribbles: 1,173,493
Time: 72 hours
This has to be the cutest test I’ve ever taken.
42,307 Tribbles
60 Hours
I have to say though, I’m now referring to the moles as Tribbles, since their numbers are becoming alarmingly high. Just yesterday when outside I said to myself, “I don’t care if it takes every person on this ship, we’ve got to get them off here!” Where’s Scotty with the transporter when I need to rid myself of these pests? LOL
