Macworld Keynote Bingo Klingon Edition – nerd and geek worlds collide
Every once in a while, a “Perfect Storm” of both geeky and nerdy events comes together to form something so massively uncool it almost demands someone beat it up. This year, that thing is Macworld Keynote Bingo, Klingon edition.
We’ve seen Macworld bingo before, but the The Swedish Bingo team has outdone themselves this year with their multi-lingual version. Ths year, in addition to the standard translations of Swedish, English, Finnish, Italian, Esperanto, German, French (partial), the group has added Klingon, the race of Star Trek aliens that (like all Star Trek aliens), looks exactly like humans, but with a little bit of latex applied to their face.
Have you ever wondered how to say “Apple Discontinues Apple TV” in Klingon? Apparently it’s “‘ape’l TV lubaq ‘ape’l“. What about “John Mayer plays”? That would be “much jo’n” (personally, we think it should have been “TOO much j’on“, but then, we aren’t fluent in Kilngon).
Anyway, if you’d like to play along, in either Klingon or your native tongue, you can check out The Swedish Bingo team’s Macworld bingo app here.
I prefer Cthulhu f’tagn….
Going by popularity of the language itself, the Esperanto version is actually geekier.
