POPSThere's No Klingon Word for Hello Most languages created for fictional worlds involve simple vocabulary substitutions, such as moodge for man in A Clockwork Orange, or meaningless streams of noise, like the high-pitched jabbering of the Ewoks in Return of the Jedi.

POPSOsama's dye job Interesting take on this that I hadn't thought of before. I have always thought this guy reminds me of John Gacy...a pathetic caricature; a clown; that speaks softly in klingon like he's clearing his sinuses. Any way you look at it, though, the dark beard, whether enhanced through electronic means or dyed with hair dye, simply makes the black and blue circles under his eyes more pronounced. Yeesh
