Khan was created for the original series Star Trek episode “Space Seed”, and was named in honor of Gene Roddenberry’s friend from World War II, Kim Noonien Singh. Roddenberry hoped his friend would hear his name on television and contact him, but never heard from Mr. Singh.

My dad told me about this when I was younger! It’s also the reason Data’s creator is named Noonien Soong, as a second effort.

I’ve been loving Pokemon Go so much, I decided to make some quick freebie cross-stitch patterns for the three teams.  I used the free vectors by Meritt Thomas as a basis for these & edited them in the cstitch program. They should work out to fit a 5″x5″ space on 14 count aida cloth. These are free for personal use, and please check out my etsy at Stitchygeek for more patterns in the future, plus a lot of other cool geek-themed things like plushies & cross stitch pendants!

For the cross stitch super nerds, you rock.

I’m not even sure it works anymore, since tears seem to stay in the eyes. It’s funny, similar code for cats cleaning themselves was what was causing all this alcohol poisoning in the tavern release, since they’d lick it off their paws and there was a bug with how much it affected them.
