keith_morrison has ideas about how Earth ended up running the Federation....

[conuly]

"So, fellow ambassadors, where should we designate as the capital, bearing in mind the long history and proud traditions many of our members have and taking into account--"

"The humans will screw anyone, won't they?"

"Um...well...well, yes."

"Earth. If it's not going to be my homeworld, at least make it one where the natives are up for some fun."

As Spock would surely say, the context is only logical, Captain.

It's either that.. or human cuisine is at least tolerable for most of the Federation's species.

"How about Denebe prime for the assembly?"
"You remember that incident with the local delicacy and Andorian ambassador last year?"
"Remember it? I think my formal robes still smell of it!"
"Right, that why not. The Andorians nearly declared war with the Denebians over it. And they put that spice in a lot of their food. Makes the buffets a minefield. Plus, no-one wants to be trapped in a council chamber with the Andorian Ambassador afterwards."
"Ok.. Earth it is then. I know a great restaurant in their New York..."
