‘Star Trek’ culture club Klingons just wanna have fun (Tacoma News-Tribune)

"The Klingons are here. Maybe you’ve seen them on television, taking pledge calls for local PBS affiliate KCTS. Or maybe they cheered you on a few weeks ago at the multiple sclerosis walk at Point Defiance.

Heck, you might have run into them while they were enjoying some treats at the Dairy Queen on North Pearl Street.

But who are these people, these strangely dressed, pleasantly menacing beings?

Read on, Earthling, and find out more about the Klingons among us."

Shredding the competition - At Guitar Hero nights, rock 'n' roll wannabes get their kicks from joysticks

"On Sunday nights at Orleans in Davis Square, Red Sox games are shown on small flat-screen televisions by the bar. The big projection screen by the window is reserved for something else: ax -grinding and shredding.

Sundays are Guitar Hero nights , which means the bar is taken over by gamers who battle one another with guitar-shaped joysticks that are used to play anthems by bands like Guns N' Roses, Metallica, and Nirvana.

"Sunday nights were our slowest nights , so it's been a big help getting people in the door," said Mike Cotter , an Orleans manager. "I didn't realize how popular it was."

The video game, which doesn't require any actual guitar knowledge -- flashing lights tell you where to hit the frets on your guitar that correspond with notes displayed on the screen -- has become big not only at Orleans but at bars across the country. There are Guitar Hero nights in clubs from New York to Los Angeles. There has been one at River Gods in Cambridge for about a year."

Curry Terror in the sky....

Exploding curry costs BA £20,000

"British Airways has banned staff from using microwaves for non-airline food after an exploding curry cost the company £20, 000 in damages.

An air hostess caused chaos on a flight from Heathrow to Miami after her ready meal blew up at 35,000ft.

Staff had to use a fire extinguisher to control the flaming high-power microwave, but British Airways insists that the incident did not endanger passenger safety."
