Talk:Bloody Mary

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Was the Bloody Mary named after Mary Queen of Scots? More likely Mary Tudor

I always assumed it was from the Virgin Mary. --Dmerrill

Actually, I think it was Mary Tudor. She got that name because of all the people she killed who refused to convert to Catholicism.

You know, the person from the nursery rhyme, Mary Mary quite contrary (or however you spell it.) --Jzcool

Um, none of the above. The real history isn't hard to find, so I added it. --LDC

Good work; but I agree that Bloody Mary (Tudor) should be listed first, even though there's no relation; perhaps they should be on separate pages (Bloody Mary cocktail).

[edit] Disambiguation

I went and turned this into a disambig page. The Swedish page, I was able to make enough sense out of to send it to the drink page. A bigger problem is the ja: and zh: links; I can't read them. If they should go to one or the other pages, please send them where they belong. -- Smerdis of Tlön 01:40, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
