How Did The Klingons Get Warp Drive?

Klingons are one of the most barbaric and less technologically advanced races in the Star Trek universe, and they typically prefer to solve problems with combat actions rather than words.

So how did a race who spends too much time yelling, fighting and feuding and not nearly enough time studying, experimenting or inventing manage to create a warp drive?

According to this comic from Sheldon Comics they got it from that one Klingon who was super into science, the one who has a pencil tucked behind his ear instead of a knife.

This makes me think of the spectacular Enterprise episode "In a Mirror, Darkly." Perhaps, like the warlike humans in that episode, the Klingons stole warp technology from friendly aliens.

Simple. They're the Klingon EMPIRE so, like all empires, they're made up of several smaller nations. We've seen two of them in the TV shows and movies: the '60s-era dudes with goatees and the lobster-skulled big guys. Those are the two most war-minded races of the empire, so they're the ones who go out fighting.
But there must be other races of the empire who stay at home and do the sciencing, the farming, the ship-building, the uniform-sewing, etc. We just haven't seen them on TV.
