February 6, 200917 yr Man boldly robs Colo. store with Star Trek swordWed Feb 4, 9:03 pm ET COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Colorado police say a man with too much "Star Trek" on his mind used a sword modeled after the weapon carried by Klingon warriors to demand money from two convenience stores. Investigators say the man took an unknown amount of cash from a 7-Eleven store Wednesday but left empty-handed when he tried to rob another store about 25 minutes later. Police Lt. David Whitlock says no one was injured. The StarTrek.com Web site says the double-pointed sword used by the Klingons on "Star Trek" is crescent-shaped and about a yard long. Police did not specify what material it was made of. No one has been charged in the incident. Must be one of these:

February 6, 200917 yr I think Naam might have changed his av from the Klingon? Nonetheless, some background: The bat'leth, or "sword of honor", is a traditional Klingon blade weapon. Resembling a crescent-shaped, two-ended scimitar, the bat'leth is wielded using three handholds along the outside edge of the blade. It is widely considered the most popular weapon among Klingon warriors. According to Klingon mythology, the first bat'leth was forged by Kahless the Unforgettable in the 9th century. Kahless cut a lock of his hair and dropped it into the lava of the Kri'stak volcano, then plunged the burning lock into the Lake of Lusor and twisted it into a blade. After forging the weapon, he used it to fight the tyrant Molor, and then gave it its name. This story was not recorded in public texts, but was passed down verbally by the Klingon clerics as a test of Kahless' return. The Sword of Kahless was preserved by the Klingons following Kahless' death, until it was stolen by the Hur'q when they plundered Qo'noS about 500 years after his death. A traditional bat'leth is typically approximately 116 centimeters long, with blades of composite baakonite, weighs about 5.3 kilograms, and has an exterior hand grip diameter of 5 centimeters. http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Bat'leth E:T

February 7, 200917 yr Error - Naam remains a Klingon... you bet your sweet butt!. Klingon warriors are rather consistent; they don't change their avatars as often as underwear (as some do in TV). but i wonder who was utmost careless when consuming blood wine and therefore lost his sword?
February 8, 200917 yr Butlers wielded real power (as well as swords) in medieval times. With the title Mayor of the Palace or maior domus , Franks like Charles Martel literally ruled the country.
February 8, 200917 yr Did Klingons have butlers though? Or perhaps slaves from another species? slavery is unconstitutional on Klingon. some bleeding hearts changed the constitution when most of the electorate were in another quadrant engaged in a battle. of course we brought slaves back to Klingon. but only in rare cases were they used as butlers for the simple reason that their ( . )( . ) and their (__!__) did not fit into formal butler suits. some warriors attempted to use their slaves as butlers by letting them serve the bloodwine nekkid but the Council for applied Decency ruled against this practice. bunch of sissies they were! we then circumvented that law by making the slaves wear baseball caps and ankle jewelry
February 8, 200917 yr Author I knew Naam would love this thread (still liked you better as Dr Naam, tho, I have to admit, it gave you more gravitas )
February 8, 200917 yr (still liked you better as Dr Naam, tho, I have to admit, it gave you more gravitas ) Isn't that a sort of stock cube?
February 9, 200917 yr No, thats gravalax . (or something like that anyway ) Nope ...... that's a small area of space with great pulling properties ... commonly known as a 'brown hole' I'll get my coat.
February 9, 200917 yr Or a type of marmite/vegemite!?! be careful earthlings. do not associate any pervert stuff some of you might ingest with Klingons or klingonic behaviour... or fear the repercussions
February 9, 200917 yr I don't know Naam, isn't blood wine just uncooked black pudding? the preparation and ingredients of blood wine are matters of Klingon national security and divulging any relevant information is punishable under section 7¶8-Þ Klîngôn Crîmînal Côde ƒƒ which demands as punishment †.
