i'm pretty sure that this could be categorized as child abuse.
a linguist, d’Armond Speers, decided to only speak to his newborn son in Klingon. yea, you heard me right. according to wikipedia:
"Dr. Speers is known for having undertaken the endeavour to raise his child bilingually in English and Klingon; Speers spoke in Klingon and his wife in English. A few years into his life, the child began rejecting Klingon and gravitating towards English, as he could use English with many more speakers. At the time of Speers' attempt, Klingon even lacked words for many objects common around the house, such as "table". The experiment ultimately failed when the child refused to use Klingon when he got older."
of course, now this guy has been hired to help create an official Klingon dictionary. and i thought i was weird...

here is a new doc jensen article for you! so sorry if you just finished the article posted yesterday but there is a new season to discuss and get psyched up for!!
this week's article: is there any connection between lost and groundhog day? for those of you who may not know yet, season 6 of lost starts on february 2, 2010, i.e. groundhog day. and if you've seen the movie, you know what kind of time-reboot implications that might have (i.e.: "Well, what if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today.")! (And if you haven't seen groundhog day, what the heck is wrong with you?!)
