The Klingons are back in the news
and will probably be making first contact in Colorado as someone has stolen one of their weapons and is robbing 7-11s with it:
A man used a "Star Trek Klingon type sword" to allegedly rob two Colorado Springs stores early Wednesday morning, police told The Denver Post.
The robber used a weapon described to police as a "Batleth" sword, according to the newspaper.
Police said the man was wearing a black mask, blue jeans and a black jacket, and fled on foot from both stores with an undisclosed amount of cash, The Denver Post reported.
He targeted two 7-11 stores in the span of an hour, starting shortly before 2 a.m., police said.
Bat'leth itself means "Sword of Honor" in Klingon.
A replica bat'leth was among the blades surrendered to British police as part of the 2006 knife amnesty.
I am curious as to how the 7-11 workers knew this was a Bat'leth...aren't most Trekkies retired by now?
