Why was this supposed to be funny again? It doesn't add anything, and detracts from the actually funny before it. I don't see the humor in going out of the way to mention Urist McX for some sort of appropriate X. --[[User:Squirrelloid|Squirrelloid]] 03:18, 6 November 2009 (UTC) | Why was this supposed to be funny again?

"FUNNY LINE"???[edit]
"This study has since been accepted by many great Dwarven thinkers, most notably the renowned Urist McPhilosopher."
Why was this supposed to be funny again? It doesn't add anything, and detracts from the actually funny before it. I don't see the humor in going out of the way to mention Urist McX for some sort of appropriate X. --Squirrelloid 03:18, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

- Editing "humour", both in to or out of an article, is extremely subjective. I got a chuckle out of it - I always like a well timed Urist joke as much as the next guy.

- Given the nature of the article, I was mostly concerned about the integrity of the piece (humor and all) that actually related to dwarven physics. It wasn't just that it wasn't funny, it also felt really out of place, tacked on to the end of a section that otherwise read really well. --Squirrelloid 11:11, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
