LOL. Kinda...
Just dont let someone who actually speaks klingon hear you call it a 
joke! They might challenge you to some kinda Klingon battle for honor 
or something! Some dude actually wrote a klingon dictionary, and it 
is constantly being updated with new words. There are people who 
seriously speak it, probably only at conventions, but still serious. 
And any person who knows about Klingons knows they're serious as 
hell!! 

As far as Eperanto goes, its was supposed to be like this universal 
global language, it had like a little of bit of a bunch of languages 
in it.  It just never caught on. There was some movie made where all 
the actors spoke in Esperanto, I think it was called "Incubus" or 
something, and William Shatner starred in it. So guess thats its link 
to Klingon. Im not a trekkie, just fascinated by them, ever since 
that documentary Trekkies, but i have been known to watch an episode 
or 2. I dont know if Shatner is a MD user or not, but i wouldnt bet 
on it. And anyways if he was, he could always just speak English.
