Seconded. Especially the GR entry. Epic win. --Squirrelloid 11:53, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Oh hey, thanks! I wasn't sure anyone would see it! :) Erd T. Mans 18:55, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

"FUNNY LINE"???

"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)

He's this uber-famous dwarf, but he has a completely generic name. It seemed funny at the time, but it might have just been Sleepless Night Syndrome. If no one else thinks it's funny I guess it just shouldn't be in there. Lord Dakoth 07:08, 8 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. In the end, look at the context - "dwarven physics" is not the most technical or serious article here, but you don't want it to turn in to a stand-up routine (unless that's the point). Otoh, not every wiki editor should pull out everything they don't think is "funny" and only allow their own sense of humour in, or this wiki would grow exceedingly dull.--Albedo 07:54, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

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)
