Ok, I'm going to toss my hat into the attempted contest ring. What I've got for you tonight should be something special.

Is it real...?

Or is it technobabble?

The rules are simple. I'm going to present a list of terms. You tell me whether they are real examples of scientific jargon or made up for TV. Ready?

1.) Dielectric friction.
2.) Kelilactiral
3.) EPI capacitor
4.) Cholecystokinin
5.) Mircocentrum cell membrane

Good luck! Though I suppose the use of a few Trek resources and a good search engine would remove the factor of luck, turning the whole thing into a farce. Ah well. Have at it.

1 is real, 2 is not, don't know about 3 (I doubt it), 4 is real, 5 is not.

I agree w/ Frank. And I believe number 3 is actually a Trek term, isn't it?

Oh, you people are hardly playing! This is the second worst idea for a contest ever.
