A man wielding a bat'leth (a type of sword used by Klingons on Star Trek) robbed two 7-11 convenience stores in Colorado Springs this morning, according to the Denver Post. From reading the article, it seems like the robber was not a Klingon, otherwise it probably would have stated that.

Someone involved in this case, besides the perpetrator, must be a fan of Star Trek or at least have a fair amount of knowledge regarding it. Otherwise how would the police have been able to refer to the weapon as a "batleth?" (Please note, the actual bat'leth in this case was not recovered, and this photo is not actually related to the robberies.)

Oh, and I have 500 quatloos for the first person to translate the title of this blog entry into English. Put your translations in the comments.

UPDATE:

After initially writing this entry, I found a video of a news report of the 7-11 robberies from KKTV News. I wonder if the robber needed some money to expand his collection of Star Trek collectibles, and did the male anchor at the beginning of the story say "Star Track?"
