Get inside the USS Enterprise with instruction manuals

Star Trek's Enterprise now comes with simple visual instructions for ensigns.

We saw the official Star Trek movie that both knocked the sock off our feet, and the wind from our sails, but what about the rules of the ship - why weren't they covered in meticulous detail?

The most likely reason is because it'd be rather dry to watch or even read, so the intrepid people over at Cracked.com put together a small collection of the manuals that all Trek fans will enjoy, and non-fans will simply find incredibly amusing.

With digs at Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, firework safety, laundry considerations and how to apply a perm to a kitten, it's got a huge amount of stuff to pore through, and is a great laugh.

Just check out the linky here, and see the very detailed flowchart below for a great example:
