LAS VEGAS, NV — Fisticuffs erupted at the 5th Annual Official Star Trek Convention when Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page could not settle a dispute over who got “the rad Star Trek booth” in their bedroom on the company’s private jet.

The argument is the latest in a series of tiffs between the two founders over the habliments in Google’s Boeing 767, which the company purchased used earlier this year.

“Our policy is not to bet against Star Trek,” said Google CEO Eric Schmidt, separating the two founders. “Sergey, you can have whatever playset you want in your room; Larry, you can have whatever playset you want in your bedroom. Let’s move on.”
