    >>Headline: Oregon county seeks Klingon interpreter for mental health patients

             This morning, a news item on NPR indicated that the call for a
    Klingon interpreter was "a mistake", that the Portland officials had merely
    listed Klingon as one of the several languages which mental health patients
    MIGHT speak.
             I've passed on the original newspaper article, along with various
    responses, and this latest revelation, to Barbara at the Urban Legends
    Reference Pages site, <http://www.snopes.com>.
