[edit] Margaret Mead

Is this worth adding to the article? It is not mentioned on hers, I found it via Google:

"A renowned American anthropologist, Margaret Mead became famous for her studies of the cultures of the Pacific Islands, Russia, and the United States. At one point, she advocated the use of Armenian as a universal language, in part because it includes the sounds of almost all the world's languages and because speakers could be found throughout the world."

I think we can place it under a new Trivia section. Serouj 04:41, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
