• I'm a Canadian...therefore you must like me.
• My favorite quote was uttered by Norm on the TV show Cheers: "It's a dog-eat-dog world, and I'm wearing Milk-Bone underwear."
• Callipygian is my favorite word (who thinks up these things?).
• Most beloved movie of all time? Casablanca, hands down.
• My lifelong ambition is to be accepted into Densa. No luck so far...
• I do not suffer from Witzelsucht, though it may appear at times that I do, at least at the Wikipedia reference desks.
• The person I admire the most is Raoul Wallenberg. His deeds speak for themselves.

My major contributions by category, mostly describing, enlarging and correcting the plots, are:
