toH, loQ Huch nobbogh tlhIngan Hol yejHaD qel *Fark.com*.
I just noticed that www.fark.com has linked to a Klingon-related news
story, using the headline "Speak Klingon? Get a college scholarship".
Fark linked to this page:
http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/departments/college/?article=StrangeScholarships
Oddly enough, out of 9 strange scholarships listed, the page mentions both
the KLI's Kor Memorial Scholarship, and a scholarship of my alma mater
(Juniata College).
Keep in mind that Fark's headline isn't even technically accurate (since
the KLI's scholarship doesn't require skill of the Klingon language, as far
as I know, and speaking Klingon won't necessarily get you the scholarship).
For those who want to chime in or defend the honor of the language, a
"discussion" of the topic can be found at:

It looks like one or two people have already corrected the people who
didn't believe that the scholarship is real.
