I think it is definitely a photo, but yeah, Star Trek IV predates Body Wars by 3 years or so.

Your random picture of the day is these two phones, which both use (used) the same phone number. Plus probably 20 phones in between. And come to think of it, the number has also been on every major US carrier.

This has been another enlightening update from the Center for the Easily Amused.
