My guess is that its a parody on the passages in the Christian bible describing how Jesus was begotten from such and such people extending all the way back to Abraham and Adam.
It seems to be both a jab at Christian theology and the obsessive degrees to which certain Star Trek fans take Trek (one could say, almost a religious degree).
At the same time, it ridicules the logic used to connect two separate literary creations (the Old Testament and the New Testament) and the logic used to weave several different (and realistically, entirely separate) television series.
That's how I see it, anyway. Quite clever actually.

I doubt that's the case. If it were, it would just be a long string of "So-and-so begat such-and-such, and such-and-such begat whosis, and whosis begat doohickey" and so on.

Allegory is not a form with strict guidelines, nor is it to be taken literally in any kind of way.

And Wesley is supposed to be Jesus, the ultimate savior of the universe and of all mankind.
That's supposed to be a very disturbing thought. Or a very ridiculous one.

Jeff: If you lived in London, you couldn't watch Comedy Central. We don't have it. We do have the Paramount Comedy Channel though, which is similar.
Oh, and OI!

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

(and I didn't think that was especially funny myself.)
Still, never mind. I propose a new forum to replace Voyager. The "Stroking Liam's Ego" forum, which is a task similar in scale to "Stroking Simon's Member", but give it what you can.

I trust, to make the distinction of effort required, that you're:
a) aware of how much effort it would take to stroke your ego.
b) aware of how much effort it would take to stroke Simon's member.
In which case, how do you know how much effort it takes to stroke Simon's member? And, please don't answer that, it's one of those "retorical" questions.

You can estimate how much time it would take to pain the Eiffel Tower. You can guess how long it would take to massage Simon's might organ.

We are all his members? That's kinda kinky. What's the proper word for an orgy involving over 600 people at one time?
