View Full Version : On Wikipedia, are you you?
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:

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)).

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).

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.
