In class yesterday, we spoke about Fandom and how some people become so involved with a show that it can consume their life. Star Trek was brought up as the prime example of having fans who arguably take being a fan of the show to an extreme. When I was looking at news stories this morning, I came across one that reminded me of yesterday's discussion.

This man, who says, he isn't really a huge Star Trek fan, spoke only Klingon to his son for the first 3 years of the kids life. It is extremely bizarre to me that someone would be into a show that much that they'd think it'd be a fun experiment to have their child's first language be a made up language from a tv show. Maybe the bigger shock is that someone actually had a kid with him.
