Lanni Prolific Registered: Tue Oct 02 2001 Posts: 1817 Loc: Brooklyn New York USA	A hospital in Oregon is in search of a Klingon-English interpreter. Klingon is the language of the Star Trek television series and movies. The hospital has had mental patients who would only speak in the Trekkies' language so they're looking for someone fluent enough to translate information for them. Read more here.

I should call up my religion prof- he translated the Old Testament into Klingon in college. Now there's someone with too much time on his hands... _________________________ Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

(Of course, he's "cured" of it at the end). WHAT IN GOD'S NAME HAS HAPPENED TO EDDIE MURPHY?????

Parselmouth translator to the London Zoo? Advanced Teletubbies studies co-ordinator for BBC/OU? The Doolittle chair in linguistics at Cambridge?

There seem to be large numbers of people with too much time on their hands. Pass me that Babel fish.
