2009 was a great year in protests, but it was an even better year for protest signs.  Some were courteous and some were mean - while each one will make you laugh a little.

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. -- Christmas is in serious trouble.

Boynton Beach police said a woman named Merry Christmas was arrested Sunday night on an obstruction of justice charge.

Police said officers were called to a disturbance where a large crowd was gathered in the 1600 block of Northeast First Court. Police said an officer was questioning a woman when Christmas, 44, started yelling and refused the officer's commands to go inside.

While officers were taking Christmas into custody, Dexter Johnson shoved one of the officers away from her in an attempt to prevent the arrest, police said.

Johnson was arrested on a charge of battery on a law enforcement officer.Christmas, who was born three days after Christmas, was released with a notice to appear in court.

I'm no math expert but I'm not sure this adds up.

It's that time of the year again.


Time to help the less fortunate with a toy or two... or a lap dance.

There is no more rewarding feeling in this world than getting free admission to a strip club for giving a child a toy.

d'Armond Speers, a Minnesota man, spoke only Klingon to his son for the first three years of his child's life says the Minnesota Daily.

Speers says that he spent the first few years of his son's life speaking to him in the invented language of the alien race featured in the series "Star Trek" in order to better understand how children learn languages. Meanwhile, Speers' wife continued to address the child in English.

He told the Minnesota Daily,

I was interested in the question of whether my son, going through his first language acquisition process, would acquire it like any human language. [...] He was definitely starting to learn it.

Wired reported on Speers' language experiment in a 1999 article in which Speers described the challenge of speaking to his infant son given that the Klingon alphabet lacked words such as "diaper" and "bottle."

The article notes,

So Speers found himself using "thing which is flat" for table. "Alec very rarely spoke back to me in Klingon, although when he did, his pronunciation was excellent and he never confused English words with Klingon words," Speers says.

Eventually, Speers gave up on Klingon communication, saying that his son "stopped listening to me when I spoke in Klingon" and "it was clear that he didn't enjoy it, and I didn't want to make it into a problem."

His son, now in high school, doesn't speak a word of Klingon, according to the Minnesota Daily.

Despite his interest in Klingon, Speers says he's not a Star Trek fanatic.

I don't go to 'Star Trek' conventions, I don't wear the fake forehead. [...] I'm a linguist.

Well thanks for ruining the story d'Armond, you know we all wanted to see you dragging your kid around Star Trek conventions both speaking in Klingon in full Klingon regalia.
