Fascinating

Here in Amerika, we don't get much information from the press, yet news outlets still have to fill out their alloted space and time, so they tend to fill the news void with fluff and such. Sometimes in all the fluff though, you find some random bits of weirdness that just make you step back for a moment. Consider:

Hospital Seeks Klingon Speaker

Now at first read, I simply shrugged it off and thought, "Yet another sign the End Is Near." But on second thought, I found it to be fascinating. Can you believe that some people can only speak in a fictional language created for the sole purpose of a TV show? And that this same language has now created an actual demand for people to learn and speak it outside of this television program? The implications are rather unsettling I think.
