QuoteHELSINKI (Reuters) - A Finnish member of parliament is aiming for re-election by campaigning with a translation of his Web site into Klingon, used in the TV series "Star Trek."

I'd vote for him... KAPLA! (http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=oddlyEnoughNews&storyid=2007-03-12T153413Z_01_L09290944_RTRUKOC_0_US-FINLAND-KLINGON.xml&src=rss)

Finland eh? He's a cinch to win if out of makeup he's also a dead-ringer for a Late Night Talk Show host (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarja_Halonen#Pop_culture_effect)* ;)


PS: Kapla? Do you mean this (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Kapla) or this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapla) ("Through building, one builds character (http://www.kapla.com/accueil_en.html)")? ;)

* Which is actually pretty likely, considering how many talk shows there are to choose from nowadays... I mean, seriously, Carson Daly (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Call_with_Carson_Daly) celebrating FIVE FREAKIN' YEARS ON THE AIR!? :o

Since it's about someone using the Klingon language, I'm sure his "Kapla!" reference was to the Klingon word, not to the kids' building toy...
