      True story. Flew our Klingon flag... neighbors thought it was a nazi flag. Had to explain..."no, no, we are not Nazis (I'm actually Jewish). We are just really big geeks." Yeah...that was the last time we flew that one.

        I was just thinking that. If I didn't know what it was beforehand driving past it, I'd assume it was a Nazi swastika. Wonderful of that neighbor though. tlhIngan maH! taHjaj!

        Yep. Our friends flew one for a 4th of July party and one of the party guests took them aside and explained what it looked like to a casual observer.

          the colours and layout. If I didn't know it was a Klingon flag I would guess the middle symbol is fascist from context. It's clearly based on the nazi flag
