I had posted about Chicago's performance of the Christmas Carol in Klingon here. Today's Wall Street Journal had a front page story on the opera ( here) It had a little history of Klingon. and and
I really had no idea it was so popular, and I don't think the linguist who created it predicted that either. | ||

Garde-toi de l'oiseau Jube, évite Le frumieux Band-à-prend!» Son glaive vorpal en main il va- T-à la recherche du fauve manscant; Puis arrivé à l'arbre Té-Té, Il y reste, réfléchissant.
