Received from a (reliable) friend who found it on a BBS, so take with
a grain of salt ...

Klingons Infiltrate Congress
On the lighter side, "Roll Call" reports that late last month, someone snuck
into the House Science, Space & Technology Committee's hearing room, removed
a (now obsolete) model of Space Station Freedom from its display case, and
replaced it with a model of a Klingon battlecruiser. At least one Committee
briefing was held with the Klingon ship on display before Freedom was
restored to its rightful place.

This story is true; I got the word from a friend who's a scumsucking
lobbyist :-). However, there was one point left out:
The person in charge of the display said that one of his co-workers was
able to identify the ship, right down to type and specifications.
"A prime suspect, then," said the reporter.
The manager sighed. "I've got fifty people who can do that...."
