Why is today International Talk Like Shatner Day? Because it is both William Shatner's and Captain Kirk's birthday!

Well, I would go celebrate in the Shatner building, but I don't feel like dealing with the striking students right now. :roll:

Ah yes, I go to big Bill's alma mater, so we actually have a building named after him. And the protest is against tuition hikes, they are raising the cost 1625$ over the next five years - no subtle increase. :| As a broke student carrying loads of debt, I can really identify with this struggle. I am not saying it is unjustified, but living in this province I can immediately identify a lot better ways to save the public dollars; and there is no shortage of them.

On an unrelated note, how many government beaurocrats would be able to identify the symbol in the far left? (FYI the red squares are a sign of solidarity against the hike)

Shatner is pure awesomeness!
In real life he's lot cooler than how he is in Fanboys!

Happy Shatner day!(even if Solo is still the coolest pilot around <_<)

I'm a government bureaucrat, and while I'm sure I've seen that symbol, I can't figure out where... Evangelion? Star Wars? I think sci-fi...

As for tuition hikes... Let's tell our southern neighbors what tuition is in Quebec universities and see what they have to say about the students!. ;)

It should be a world holiday. Sir Patrick Stewart needs his holiday too.

William Shatner is awesome (even though I never liked Star Trek). We just recently watched The Captains - amazing! William Shatner "interviewing" Avery Brooks was priceless.
