To be fair there should be a fourth option. I knew what a Bat'leth was just not what it was called.

Yes. It's so all the nerds know who the other nerds are and can come out of their shells and have a CP nerd convention later.

I knew what it was as soon as I read the 3rd option in the poll, but before then I had no idea.

I honestly thought "Bat'leth" was some famous East Indian dude, maybe a rapper or something which is why I'd never heard of him.
Although this is better in some ways, worse in others.

I can't believe the number of people who knew what it was.

I can't believe the number of people who "don't know what it is". Liars. You post on a message board, you're already a nerd so stop hiding!

Whenever I see Johnny Flame post from here on out, my entire thought process will have changed.
Oh, and btw, Star Wars is better than Star Trek.

Anyone else find it ironic that "Vulcan" didn't know what it was?

Although I am a Star Trek fan, I only know what is was because I had seen the article on CNN already.
I was going to post this yesterday with the by line
"Bat'leth's don't kill Klingons, Klingon's kill Klingon's" but it seemed wrong...

I didn't remember it, but when I read the title, I imagined a scimitar. So I think on some subliminal level I knew what it was, and my mind just substituted in a reasonably similar real-world blade.

Are you saying "Star Trek" isn't real?
