New languages

They say Latin is a dying language. But it's time to look to the future. The good people at Deutsche-Welle, the German taxpayer funded news network, have established the 30th 31st (thanks Bre) language to its site: Klingon.

Some would argue Germans often seem like they're from another planet anyway. I wonder how you say "George W. Bush is a war-mongering Imperialist despot ruining the Earth" in Klingon? It must be in there somewhere.

I think you can find it under the same translation of "Yeah, and?"

Klingons aren't well known for their politcal sensitivity.
