Man Robbing Stores With Klingon Sword

A surveillance picture released by police Wednesday afternoon shows a man armed with what appears to be a small Klingon sword, holding up a 7-Eleven convenience store.

That same man robbed another 7-Eleven store store a half-hour later, and remains at large, Colorado Springs police Lt. David Whitlock said.

The first robbery was reported at 1:50 a.m., at 145 N Spruce St. The clerk told police a white man in his 20s, wearing a black mask, black jacket, and blue jeans, entered the store with a weapon the clerk recognized from the Star Trek TV series.

"transported" himself out of the store on foot.

Both clerks described the weapon as a Star Trek Klingon-type sword, called a "bat'leth."

Neither clerk was injured in the robberies.

The Startrek.com Web site describes the Klingon weapon as crescent-shaped and about a yard long. However, the weapon that the man was wielding appears to be smaller than that. The bat'leth has points on both ends, two points in between and a handle on the outside.

Police said they don't know if the sword used by the robber was made of metal.

Klingons were warlike enemies of the good-guy United Federation of Planets in the original "Star Trek" series but were allies in "Star Trek: The Next Generation."

What's next? A person using Xena's Ring weapon to hold up a store.

Tis hardly even news worthy, however a klingon holding a 7-Eleven would be far more entertaining

The economic crisis must be hitting the Nerds hard that they have to live a life of crime to support their nerdy habits and pay for their rent for living in their parents basement.

thoug the fact they were not dressed in full klingon garb, and spoke only the klingon language it proves that a geek they was not or even remotely nerdy, they just had an idea which is just rather sad.
