And Finally... Australian caves offer tours presented in Klingon

Staff at the Jenolan Caves tourist attraction west of Sydney have decided to open up their tours to a whole new range of people - by offering a service in the fictional Klingon language.

The 'alien' language - which originally featured in the long-running sci-fi series Star Trek, has been added to the self-guided audio options for visitors.

This isn't out of the blue, however, as the caves once featured in an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, having a starship named after them - the USS Jenolan.

"We wanted to do something a bit obscure and we will now be the first tourist attraction on this planet at least to have a Klingon tour," said cave guide Gordon Mills, a self-described Star Trek enthusiast.

I am sure Klingon speakers around the world would like to say 'majQa' ('well done') to Gordon and co.
