For those of you who thought that math classes were a waste of time because you were never going to visit whichever country it is where they speak algebra, Matt Bailey has done a detailed statistical analysis of the notoriously high mortality rate of red-shirted crewmen beaming down to the planet - and he has mathematically proven that they can improve their chances of survival by a massive 84% just by getting Captain Kirk laid.

Oddly, though, I couldn’t find any mention of this in this paper on Why Humans Have Sex.  Maybe they surveyed the wrong people.
