  • Here are my favorite lines:

    "The keyboard features the spidery, curving characters of the 'pIqaD' alphabet, which was created to to replicate the symbols on the side of Klingon ships. However, some Klingon enthusiasts prefer to write in the Latin alphabet used for European languages on Earth."
