Fake pic. They didn't have color photography when he was that young. Hell, I'm not even sure magazines had been invented yet.

I'm sure swim wear was more akin to this just before the first world war too.

The first picture of Claude was painted on a cave wall in France.

The photo wasn't taken when I was a baby. It's not that color photography wasn't invented yet....it's that the world was in Black & White. Color wasn't discovered until the day The Wizard Of Oz was released. About 20 minutes into the first showing. That's why everything on the screen turned to color.

Now, we take color for granted. But some of us old folks remember when everything was still black & white. It was called The Dark Ages.

Study your science. It all becomes clear.

Color was discovered at the same time the ten dimensions were discovered. And Mystics (who are masters at physics) tell us that other universes are still in black and white. That is why they are not in The Federation.

That's right...there's a Federation.

Time travels in an elliptical orbit through the multiverse. And we only see it in 3 dimensions..so we miss the "reemergence"... as foretold by the famous mystic, Illiterous.

Sex hadn't even been invented yet. We still spawned in the ocean. Ahhhh, that takes me back.

  Claude had an attack of wind which caused The Big Bang.
  
  In the beginning there was Claude. And Claude moved upon the face of the Riffle and punched it repeatedly. After six days and six nights he stepped back to admire his work and saw that it was good.
  
  And then the Begatting started of which Claude took more than an active role.

Not sure how much of a "Big Bang" he ever was. I can picture him as part of the primordial stew, though.

I was actually an actor in The Big Bang in 1975. My costars, Myla Mounds and Pandora Peaks...were very nice. I had one line in the movie. It was "Honest, this has never happened to me before. The water was really cold". And then I whimpered. It was an ad lib.

And then you limped off set, right?

Dan; No, I was in good health back then, and I didn't limp when I walked.

By the way, I know you didn't intend for this to happen, but did you now that you can actually take that two different ways? Did you know that? OK, let me explain...

I've been around Claude. His wind causes more of an eggy musk. I don't think it could create a universe, but it can peel wallpaper.

This whole thread is pretty disturbing.

Everyone knows The Federation doesn't discriminate based on color. They hate bald spots though. Either put a tribble up there, or go the full Picard already.

Jack, you're going to want to be a bit more explicit than "up there." Claude's version of "up there" might just give you nightmares you can't shake for a lifetime.

Jack; You're kind of scaring me. Dan wanted me to do..what he called "The Full Picard". I asked him what it was (I was trembling)... and he told me it involved "putting tribbles up there"....and I started crying.

Everyone! When Riffle tells you that he wants to go "Full Picard"..Run...run until you are out of breath. seek shelter...call for help.

Because I can promise you one thing..those aren't tribbles.
