Klingon is from Star Trek.  The other one would be Star Wars.  Thought that
was pretty obvious.

My included recasting should have clarified the meaning, I thought:  {Dev
qoH.  tlha' latlh.  Doghqu' 'Iv?}

I did misplace the {ghap} in the first sentence.  pagh goes between, ghap
goes at the end.

The quote, incidentally: "Who's the more foolish - the fool, or the fool who
follows him?" - Kenobi to Solo, Episode IV

Noticed that in the other thread after I sent this.  "Who is more X than
another?" .  Works pretty well.  qatlho'.
