Tribble - noun.  Small, furry, irresistably cute space creature that is
already pregnant when it is born and therefore reproduces VERY rapidly.

classical science-fiction story?

Let me guess. When I was small I saw one of the old Star Trek episodes.
There little fluffy balls appeared and very fast their number increased
on the good old Enterprise!

MAD-magazine ;-)

  The title of the episode was called "The Trouble With Tribbles" in english.
This explains the message I left earlier about that being the trouble with
tribbles. I thouhgt people would see the humor of that but...

Star-trek?? What's that ? *confused*

Ahh, actually, I'm not a fan, and I didn't follow the series.. So this went
