Please explain to me how it is possible that anyone could be ignorant of what NCC-1701 means.

Well not everyone has watched Star Trek :) I wonder how many people who did watch the series (from original to the next generation) realise that ncc-1701 is the class type for the USS Enterprise.

I suppose Dr. Who fans feel much the same about how someone doesn't understand what TARDIS means - or what a Dalek is.

It's a question of whether or not one was exposed to the show at all.

At some length, yes. My husband is a Whovian and I have seen a fraction of the 50 years that is Dr Who (he has seen it all), but I will probably score extra geek points for knowing what the acronym TARDIS stands for. :)

That was a Trivial Pursuit question, I seem to remember. What ship has the number NCC-1701, or something like that.

Out of context, I had no clue what you were talking about. Sorry.

I know what NCC-1701 is, but I don't know what it means.

*googlegooglegoogle*

"NCC" is the Starfleet abbreviation for 'Naval Construction Contract".

Aha!

Hehehehe! Maybe they are Star Wars fans. Or live on another planet(not one in the Federation!).

Sorry. I'm ignorant.

That has something to do with pr0n-ish fanfic right? Oh wait, that has fewer letters and numbers. ;)

Seriously though, they only show it on the dish of the ship every other episode!
