Are you Yahoo Serious?

Today News.com.au asks the big question of the day – Whatever happened to Young Einstein star Yahoo Serious?

Indeed the author of the piece, Matthew Murphy, writes it was a question asked of an Australian friend of his living in New York while on a date: “‘That is a question no Australian has asked in 20 years,’ my friend informed her date.”

But that’s untrue. Indeed Dr Mumbo and a colleague were discussing the same question just this week. And when you actually perform a Google search for old Yahoo what comes up is his IMDB profile, a couple of Young Einstein links, and several articles asking ‘Where is Yahoo Serious now?’.

While the News.com.au article manages to do a decent job of reproducing his IMDB and Wikipedia page, it never actually gets close to answering the question.
