Amateur historian, wannabe viking, drinker of beer.
Hello and welcome, this is my page. I recently spend way too much time on RC patrol and way too little time actually writing or contributing to articles. Go read some stuff about me.
Here's a gallery of photos I have contributed.
I maintain a list of stuff I intend to write in the near future.
The strange ways of Wikipedia and the web
Hehe. While doing a Google search for my user name (yes, I sometimes do that kind of stuff to see what weird results I come up with), I noticed that I am apparently now quoted as an authority on average penis length (http://www.measurection.com/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/156807/page/0/view/collapsed/sb/5/o/all/fpart/2/vc/1) by certain medical discussion groups. I guess it has to do with having posted a rather innocuous joke (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Penis&diff=prev&oldid=4652217) on the Talk:Penis page some time ago, then somebody googling for "average penis length" and having only a cursory glance at the search results.
In case the link goes dead, here's the relevant snippet from the discussion:
- We have Dr. Greene; Dr. Drew; Dr. Alice; Ferkelparade; Dr. Nayal-IndiaTimes; Wikipedia online encyclopedia; the Library of Excerpts reference; Men's Health Magazine [November 2003]; NationMaster.com encyclopedia; Netdoctor.co.uk; Penisowner.com; CincinattiBabes.com; and the University of California SF Medical School study placing the average penis size at between 5-5.5"
I now have a framed printout of that discussion hanging on the wall over my desk...better than any number of university diploma :p
