Does Data crap?

Well in some respects, a car continuously recharges its battery while driving. The alternator still needs gasoline to run the engine.

True, but the battery does not recharge itself. Data said his power cells actually recharge themselves.

And a car continuously recharges itself. I'm not saying that I think the dialogue is okay, but it can be reconciled with fact if one is willing to think outside the box of stupidity. Hell, maybe there is a generator built into the power cells or something. Its not as if Data has never uttered innaccurate dialogue before.

I could swear he said in some episode that he ingested some technobabble cocktail as fuel, but I can't remember what episode it was.
I remember that too. It looked like the taster cup at a Frozen Yogurt shop, except the material was dark.

Here is another low. If Data is "fully funtional" is he circumcised? Does he get dingleberries?

Egghhhh... I suppose for the sake of easy maintenance, yes, Data is probably circumcised. And I would imagine that he probably showers, so I would imagine that the dingleberry question would be a negatory. ew...

What color would his android poo be? I mean don't you need bacteia found in the intestines to properly digest food, (even though he probably can't digest food) I bet is his crap would just look like smushed-moldy food(I think it would start to mold in his dirty "intestines").

I might have remembered wrong but I think this is how Data does it as well. He has some sort of food bag which he can remove, or it gets broken down into component parts and put back into the replicater (yes thats how crap and half eten food is recycled on a ship they eat it and the waste productes get broken down into there component parts and recycled for raw matter)

Didn't we see B'lana's crapper the same time we saw her taking a sonic shower? (some voy epasode)

When have we ever seen Data remove a bag of food from his body? Can you name the episode?

Well, that's a very good question, and I'm glad you asked. They are human, as far as we can tell, aren't they? No, too specific, you'll try to twist that. They are alive, yes? And you would agree, wouldn't you, that they are organic? I mean, for example, Picard, or Obi-Wan Kenobi. They're organic. We see them eat things, yes?

Now here's a very basic question.

When you eat something, do you eventually crap? I certainly hope so. Otherwise, it would all build up inside of you, and you'd begin to smell bad, at the very least.

Now since we know they eat, and since they're not waddling about with great distended abdomens while complaining about the smell of crap, it is reasonable to deduce that they must, every now and then, produce great steaming piles of gut-fudge. And since we don't see any shit heaped along the corridors of the Enterprise (except during Happy Hour, maybe) we must assume that they put it in toilets, and proceed to flush.

Now, since we have established that humans in Star Trek spread their cheeks and shoot poo, and since you can RTFT regarding Data doing the same, it is reasonable to believe that Data, like his meaty brethren, must occasionally squirt his Hersheys. Thank you, Ladies and Gentlemen.

Yea but we never actually see it which means that Data could do anything. of corse they shit and data empties his stomach or whatever but we don't have to see it. Would you wach a show where half the time they showed charicters shitting? I don't think so.

We do not ask to see them shitting but once in a while they could go to the little boys or girls room,well not seeing them on the throne but going in and out.

Well, there was "Ally McBeal"... but you're right, I saw that once while channel-surfing and never went back. Some skinny-ass bitch on a toilet does not prime-time television make.

I think in Ally McBeal it was to show that all lawyers are full of crap

Yes. And as some (most) of his dialogue illustrates rather clearly, so is Data. THIS 'DROID IS A CRAPPIN' MACHINE!!! Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, I rest my case.

I bow before your oviously superior logic

Well at least in star trek they killed all the lawyers.

Data proboly could shit if he wanted to (he's supposed to mimic humons in every way, he even sweats....) but he proboly dosn't have to.

I still think the vision of Data, sitting on a commode and suffering from constipation, with Geordi right there waving a tricorder in the general direction of his pale plastic ass, is priceless.

No, it doesn't. It burns fuel, and has to be refuelled periodically. Did you miss that part of the owner's manual?

I'm not saying that I think the dialogue is okay, but it can be reconciled with fact if one is willing to think outside the box of stupidity.

Or by climbing into that box and closing the lid upon yourself, apparently ...

Hell, maybe there is a generator built into the power cells or something. Its not as if Data has never uttered innaccurate dialogue before.

Of course he's uttered stupid dialogue before. That's the whole point, isn't it?
