Wikipedia gets its Logo Wrong

From NY Times: "The symbolism is not exactly ideal. Those on the lookout for errors at Wikipedia have flagged a few more -- this time, however, they are not examples of vandalism at the user-created site but typographical errors in Wikipedia's own logo. In postings on internal mailing groups, users of Wikipedia have described obvious mistakes in the design, a globelike jigsaw puzzle with characters from various languages on the pieces. Two of the characters -- one in Japanese and one in Devanagari, the script used in Sanskrit and several modern Indian languages -- are meaningless because of minor slips."  WP Logo

My comments: The funniest part of the whole story is that there is a Klingon character on the globe. We don't want those people to feel slighted.
