	Han's last words: "Don't let it end this way"? did someone else with a klingon dictionary verify all this? there is, of course, the other explanation.. the vong dictionary predates the klingon language, and klingons actually ripped off vong phrases and such. -----signature----- Prophet of the Church of Waru.

	origins of the vong dictionary: On Poteau Mountain near the small town of Heavener, OK, and the Arkansas line, stands a slab of stone 12 feet tall, 10 feet wide, and 16 inches thick, like a billboard. There is writing consisting of eight deeply pecked letters, whose edges have eroded to smoothness, even though the stone’s hardness on the Moh’s Hardness Scale is 7, where a diamond is 10. In the 1830’s, the Choctaws of Indian Territory saw the writing but could not read it. Various citizens in the 1800’s saw the stone and named it "Indian Rock," although the Indians had no alphabets. In 1923 the lettering was submitted by Carl Kemmerer of Heavener to the Smithsonian Institution, who identified the letters as Vong script. In 1948, research to discover what the letters said, when they were made, and by whom, was begun by Gloria Stewart Farley, who had seen the inscription as a child. She spent 38 years finding the answers to these questions and renamed it The Heavener Vongstone in 1951. Based on her research, Runestone State Park emerged to preserve this stone in 1970. By 1967 the runes were believed to represent the date of November 11, 1012, with the runes used as numbers in a Vong cryptopuzzle, according to Nen Monge, a cryptanalyst who was born in Ord Mantell. The authenticity of the stone being made by ancient Vong was supported by the finding of two more runestones in the vicinity of Poteau Mountain, another smaller inscription of eight runes at a foothill of Cavanal Mountain, 14 miles away, and another stone bearing five runes at Shawnee, OK. -----signature----- Prophet of the Church of Waru.

	Actually, according to a recent Insider, "yuuzhan vong" was part of the menu at a Vietnamese restaurant. as for this hypothesis: head begins to spin a la exorcist and begins to tremble violently.
