09/25/2002: "Coming soon to a dictionary near you..."

Fox News reports the following additions to the shorter Oxford English Dictionary: warp drive, mind-meld, Klingon, Jedi, the Force, and the Dark Side. I think the Malibu list was responsible for helping on the citation for Klingon, both in giving the earliest cite and the origin of the word (named after Lt. Herbert Clingan of the LAPD, a co-worker of Gene Roddenberry when he was still on the force.)
