No surprise that Livius Drusus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livius_Drusus) is a Wikipedia page (a disambiguation among the various related Marci Livii Drusi).

Crumb's got quite an interesting disambiguation page: Crumb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crumb)
Crumb may refer to:
...

Crumb, a rarely used term for two computer bits


I can't figure out why there's no viscousmemories (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=viscousmemories) ... or dingfod (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=dingfod) ... or various others. :P

The postiest member to have a page that's not a disambiguation page is Legs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legs). Her page includes this definitive illustration:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/92/Insekt-bein.gif/180px-Insekt-bein.gif

I feel that Ymir's blood is encyclopaedically notable ... but doesn't have a page, not even a redirect, yet. And Ensign Steve ... hmm.

No D. Scarlatti as such, but there's Scarlatti (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarlatti) (and Domenico Scarlatti (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domenico_Scarlatti)).

Sock's right there: Sock puppet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sock_puppet) ...

biochemgirl's not there but it does have BCG (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BCG):
BCG can stand for:
...

Birth Control Glasses, a dysphemism given to eyeglasses issued by the American military to its service members

What's your page?

Technically: Ocean (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean)

The blood of Ymir (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ymir) formed seas and lakes.

There's some other guy with the username ChuckF on wikipedia. Apparently he's kind of an asshole. Giving all us other ChuckFs a bad name!

Nope nothing on Wiki.

I've got a disambiguation page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragment).

Watser?
09-21-2008, 12:09 AM
Nothing on Wikipedia in any language.

There is a Watser on deviantART (http://watser.deviantart.com/) though.

And apparently it is a real surname (http://www.ancestry.com/facts/Watser-family-history-uk.ashx).

There's a bastard out there that has stolen my name. But screwed it by capitalising some of the letters. DeaDloKd. Stupid 1337 bastard.:glare:

I tried Pinecone but Wiki capriciously changed me to a Conifer cone.

I blame the Lone Ranger.

I get redirected to The Science of Discworld II: The Globe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_Narrans). No surprise really, since I got my name from that book.

Like Free Willy, it's Free Warren (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_(free)), except it is more likely that I'm Domestic Warren (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_(free)) instead.

Ooh, I'm a lot of things!

Apparently I'm a computer game from 1993 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curses_(computer_game)).
Add an exclamation point to me and I'm a 1925 comedy directed by Fatty Arbuckle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curses!).
Remove an "s" and I'm an album by Alien Sex Fiend (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_(album)).

The disambiguation page also points to 'blasphemy.'

*''Die Bobeh mit dem Einikel'' (''The Grandmother and the Granddaughter'') '''1876'''<r

Chris Porter

Perhaps they are slang terms for grandmother and granddaughter? And I don't know why the title uses "mit dem" instead of "und die", assuming "einikel" is a feminine noun. Still, in this situation, the meaning is virtually identical.
