While we generally find emoticons silly and pointless and another, rather terrifying example of how digital communication is fast reducing our ability to express genuine, complex emotions in actual words (maybe even sentences!), some of them make up for whatever semantic damage they may do with sheer creativity. Such is the case with a small set of emoticons designed by Brock Davis and posted to his Flickr page and portraying the six emotional states of the Star Trek villain Khan, or 6 Emoti-Khans.
