User:Hall Monitor recently applied the {{unreferenced}} tag to this page. As I understand it, the TV show is the primary source for most of the information on the character. Does anyone have a reference for the Trivia note that claims Mike Judge's friend is the inspiration for Kahn? One of the DVDs, perhaps? I have seasons 1-4, so if someone can point me in the right direction, I can double-check it tonight. — EagleOne\^Talk 17:56, 20 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

This probably would belong in the Trivia Section, but I've always wondered if the language that Khan and Minh use to speak to each other is actually Laotion or just simulated jibberish. Any Lao speakers out there? I have a working knowledge of Thai but am unable to make out any words in their speach.

Souphanousinphone is probably not a distortion of whatever word they "cite" in the article, (the fancy word for tuba) that is unless someone can come up with a citation, wow this wikipedia thing is getting out of control. encylopedias are meant to be a presnentation of facts not third hand hearsey

I'm not sure is they speak Laos. I'm Laos and I couldn't really understand any of it. By the way, I live in the same city as Mike Judge. Kinda creepy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.112.29.124 (talk) 02:40, 4 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Is the story about the tigers and strawberry an actual story in propane boom 2 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.230.201.192 (talk) 03:49, 19 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

It seems it's a real story, although not Laotian. This book, and this one predate the show yet both have the story in it. However there are some slight differences in that he's on a vine that mice are chewing. In Kahn's version no mice are mentioned so far as I can recall. If this story is mentioned in the article citing it as a Zen story/parable I think would be okay. (Laotians are not Zen, I don't think, but they're also not Lamaists either. The Souphanousinphones are kind-of pan-Buddhists, of a sort, so the writers can be free to throw in various forms of Buddhism at them. Well except maybe actual Laotian Buddhism which I think is mostly not refered to)--T. Anthony (talk) 09:50, 12 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
