I've been meaning to do a post on a ridiculous (but if memory serves funny) australian movie named Young Einstein which gained a ridiculous amount of press at the time it was released, but I feel it may be a struggle to find a DVD store that stocks this gem.
While I locate (or buy) the DVD I present some interesting facts about it's star, one Yahoo Serious (born Greg Pead, well you'd change your name too?):
Apparently first Australian to write, produce, direct and star in his own film
He married the actress known as The Blonde in Young Einstein.
He allegedly tried to wage a trademark lawsuit against Yahoo! in 2000, it was quickly dismissed as he couldn't prove he'd suffered any distress or confusion from the name being shared. Heh.
When I googled him, the second pre populated result was: Yahoo Serious where is he now?

I love him for having such a bizarrely wonderful name. It's SO fun to say. Up there with Evel Knievel.
I was thinking about writing something up about my favorite ginger people and Yahoo Serious definitely would have made the list. I loved this guy when I was kid.
I'll be hitting Kmart to try and find a copy to buy...local dvd shop search proved fruitless.
