Man boldly robs Colo. store with Star Trek sword
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Colorado police say a man with too much "Star Trek" on his mind used a sword modeled after the weapon carried by Klingon warriors to demand money from two convenience stores.
Investigators say the man took an unknown amount of cash from a 7-Eleven store Wednesday but left empty-handed when he tried to rob another store about 25 minutes later.
Police Lt. David Whitlock says no one was injured.
The StarTrek.com Web site says the double-pointed sword used by the Klingons on "Star Trek" is crescent-shaped and about a yard long. Police did not specify what material it was made of.
No one has been charged in the incident.

Yep... Geeks are out there, but apparently, not in the news reporting ranks. Else they would have known what a bat'leth is... or at least how to google for it
Of course, there is no honor in stealing... or in coming away empty-handed from an attempted robbery....
