5. A tribble got dropped off on their planet and the resulting havoc caused a single minded effort...
...to build spaceships and destroy the tribble home world.

Apparently they were highly displeased at having their smashing shit utopia infiltrated by the cosmic equivalent of lolcats.

6. Originally, they used a subsidiary of Halliburton.
But they got tired of being ripped off so they vaporized the entire company. Then they bought the parts from China, but they were toxic and didn't work, so they stopped shopping at WalMart. Finally, they discovered a wealth of talent on social networking sites and harnessed it to produce something useful with the promise of pictures of naked chicks. Of course, being Klingons, they didn't deliver on their end - but the DID get all of their cool technology!

9. How did the Predator species develop advanced technology with those huge finger nails interfering
with all their tool using and stuff?

This person can barely drive. How do you build complex electronic components?

10. The serious answer...
... is that a large part of their space technology was taken from other species.

11. Did the Klingons have slaves?
Maybe they enslaved peaceful species with higher technology and made them build their spacecraft. The Klingons in the original Star Trek series seemed like they might have done something like that.
