Flashman, over on his Flickr account, has drawn up a graph which charts the amount of times people use the letter “a” when googling Captain Kirk’s heartrending yell “KHAAAAAAAAAAN!” in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. I personally err on the side of 9-12, depending on my mood. One day I’ll have due cause to yell it for real. Do we know anyone called Khan who can run up and kick me in the shin?

Paul Verhoeven (right) is on Triple J, as host of the Weekend Breakfast Show. He is a writer and film critic for Yen Magazine, and insists he is a regular columnist for Horse and Hound magazine (unverified). He recently finished a weekly series for The Vine called Curiageous where he answered people's burning questions and drank his own urine. He enjoys ducks.
Luke Ryan (left) is a stand-up comic, writer, and general man-about-town. He is a news blogger and feature writer for The Vine and also writes for the music blog Electrorash and the street mag ThreeThousand. In 2009 he performed at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in his oh so descriptively titled show 'Luke's Got Cancer'. It was funnier than it sounds.
Both of them spend more of their time then they should perusing the Internet and gaming. The Somewhat Ambitious is essentially the product of this excess.

Paul, this is probably up because the Khan actor guy (also in Fantasy Island) died late last week.
Patrick McGoohan died also, which is very saddening. I wonder if he got to see any of The Prisoner remake?
Tom Baker has wrapped himself in bubble wrap and is in an underground bunker.

Ok just checked out the news:
“Lost in Space’ actor Bob May dies at 69 in Calif.”
Tommy, you can come out of the bunker now. Thats the trifecta!

Yeah, now thanks to you gorgeous readers I’ve penned a new segment for the show tomorrow. Hint: It’s called “DEATH!”

LOL. I just missed it. I start at 8:30, so I only caught the first half.
