[edit] The Carlin Connection.

In the George Carlin article, it's mentioned that Carlin provided a voice in the movie Cars, and that his "character" is a VW Microbus, whose front license plate reads "51237". Carlin's birthday is May 12, 1937, and a zip code lookup confirms that 51237 is a George, Iowa zip code. Surely this bizarre coincidence is worth some mention, but I'm hesitant to start a new "trivia" section in the article with only one item. Perhaps some residents of George could come up with a few more noteworthy trivia items to include in the list. - Ugliness Man 11:48, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

  • I agree, it is noteworthy, and I also was going to add this information, but thought I'd better check the talk page. I also agree that it would look very lonely here so I'll leave it. Although I feel that the chances of one of the few people from George coming on here, and looking at this discuss page are pretty slim. Dangaz 10:56, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
