‘Klinge’ pronounced
We pronounce it with a silent ‘e’.
"kling", like the klingons, although they are a little better-looking

Klinge is actually a German word, meaning blade (like a knife blade).
No silent "e" in German though.

Are you of German descent, Jim?
RL | August 1st, 2007 at 4:09 pmThe proper German pronunciation is "kling-ga", with a soft ‘a’, right?
We’re Dutch – my grandfather grew up in Holland, Michigan, the youngest of 13 kids. But most were sisters though, so there aren’t that many Klinges left in Michigan, but there are hundreds of relatives.
I think it means I’m sharp (?)

David Bowie’s real name is "David Jones" he picked "Bowie" in honor of a Bowie knife to cut through the bullshit.
I wonder if Jim knows David Bowie?
