It's spelled exactly like "¿qué?" (Spanish) is pronounced, and that means what, so I think you're right Tord.

Klingonese - the name for the Klingon language given in Star Trek: The Original Series, before they decided to go with just "Klingon".

I once of a site full of probably useless facts, I forgot the name though :(

Oh and did you know there is at least one species where cancer is able to spread between them sort of like a normal disease?
I know it was not really a fun fact but it is kind of interesting how it works, those poor creatures though :(

How does that even work, cancer cells form due to an issue with a cell not accepting oxygen, but still accepting glucose, and denaturing? (IIRC)
It's not really transmittable, unless it is leukaemia (maybe), as that is blood cancer, but that would require extreme conditions; the blood types matching, the blood cells going in to be cancerous, etc.
Cancer isn't really a transmittable disease, unless the species has such as high-glucose diet, and the cancer is a by-product of a secondary disease (one which inhibits cell oxidization)

Their DNA is so similar to each other(read practically the same) that the cancer cells from the others are seen by the body as their own cells. Combine this with their usual way of life and you have trouble.

They are essentially a clone race? That doesn't count then, as it is essentially the same animal!

By the nature of evolution, a species that is biologically identical (apart from environmental changes) is doomed to die. This is because what kills one member in a matter of minutes/days (as in diseases-wise) will kill them all. Not one will have an inert immunity/resistance to it :p

yea... you can blame humans for that for first almost killing al of them. then this happened when they where finally stabilizing(I think). Humans why do you need to ruin all things cute!
