Wyoming tribble-naming contest marks Archives Month

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Anybody who doesn't think this is the cutest little news story of the day must be a Klingon.
The University of Wyoming's American Heritage Center is holding a "Name the Tribble" contest. A tribble is a small furball of a creature from the Star Trek television series that first appeared in a famous 1967 episode.
On the show, tribbles endeared themselves to everybody except Klingons, who despised them. The trouble with tribbles is they're very prolific. They overpopulated the Starship Enterprise.
A tribble from the Star Trek set is among many items that science-fiction publisher Forrest Ackerman donated to UW decades ago.
The tribble-naming contest commemorates American Archives Month. Entries can be emailed to ahc@uwyo.edu, with "Tribble Contest" and your name in the subject line. The deadline is Oct. 22.
