W is for Weeper plant. In the Star Treks classic episode of the Man Trap, the salt vampire disturbs "Gertrude" in the Enterprise botany lab.

When I discovered this poster on Alex J.Cavanaugh blog and my eyes nearly melted onto my computer screen. The trekkie characters in John Martz "Trexels" creation nearly caused a sensory overload in my positronic matrix. They're that good. Martz's poster has 235 Star Trek characters crying out to be identified. So why not feed your inner trekkie and take a stab at naming the characters, its fun!

H is for Half-breed! Although absent from common conversation today, dictionary.com defines "half breed" as the "offspring of parents of different racial origin, especially American Indian and Caucasians.
