    Indeed. I picked that term in the interest of a bit of ironic humour, playing on ethnic stereotypes of the stature of Japanese people versus that of Klingons. What horrendous doom am I inviting upon myself, I wonder?

    Peter,

    In light of the Klingon propensity to violence and robust physique,
