My guess is that the mental patient(s) really don't speak Klingon at all. What probably will happen is that the Klingon translator will show up for work one day, and quickly establish that all the patients can speak is gibberish. Just think about it. How many non-klingonists can tell the difference between real Klingon and gibberish? I'm not sure *I* can. -- Arnt Richard Johansen http://arj.nvg.org/ You Can't Have Your Kate And Edith Too.
