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."

"Some have thought it is blasphemy to mix politics and Klingon," said Jyrki Kasvi, an ardent Trekkie. "Others say it is good if politicians can laugh at themselves."

He said his politics posed some translation difficulties, since Klingon does not have words for matters such as tolerance, or for many colors, including green -- the party under whose banner he is running in the national elections on March 18.

Non-warriors can also access the site, www.kasvi.org, in English, Swedish and Finnish.

Raph's Girl note: I just love Finland. :lol:

This would be funnier if I didn't actually know people who think they're Klingons. Science Fiction conventions bring in strange crowds.

Ahahaha! Something about this is just awesome. :trazz:

Haha! Man that rocks! I can just imagine if this guy wins.

"My first law...our offical language will now be Klington."

I bet the Star Trek fans over there are flipping right about now XD

:lol: yes and we have to eat live food and drink blood wine and have bat-leth fights.
