#72 A New Language
I've always wanted to be fluent in another language. I can speak some Spanish and understand some German but I thought, what if I happen to find myself at a GenCon Convention someday (it's on my list) after drinking too much bottled water and I'm in dire need of finding a restroom? So today I learned how to speak some Klingon. Specifically, "Where is the bathroom?" or "nuqDaq 'oH puchpa''e'?" Yes, believe it or not there is an official language for Klingons, the science fictional race of aliens in Star Trek. It was created by Dr. Marc Okrand to be used in some of the Star Trek movies. And yes, if you really have the desire to be fluent, you can join the KLI or Klingon Language Institute.
