[edit] Did you know?

This story is very entertaining. Somebody should nominate the page for the "did you know?" category. Creationlaw 00:15, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bradbury's crash

The article says that the big crash (the 111 stitches one) took place in Norway, as do a few articles. But other sources, including his autobiography, says it was November 1, 1994 in Montreal, Canada. He says it was in the Michel Normandin ice rink, which I guess sounds a bit like Norway (and the 1994 Winter Olympics were held in Norway). Any thoughts? Andjam 14:02, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] West Tigers

I removed the following text

It must be noted that it is generally the fans of the losing teams who coin the Tigers' this. After all, Wests 2005 has the best finals record of any team in history and won more matches that year than any other team.

Because it lacks a citation, "it must be noted that" suggests someone wants to promote a certain POV, and the paragraph seems to be of marginal importance (in that it is arguing that the term was incorrectly used, whereas the important thing was whether or not the term is used). Andjam 22:44, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Further to this why are the Wests Tigers even mentioned? I've never seen the analogy used (except in an article which was refering to this entry). Are there any references to support the inclusion? Also, it hardly seems relevant when the Tigers in the final series beat the Nth Qld Cowboys (who went on to beat Melbourne and the minor premiers Parramatta), then Brisbane (the 2007 premiers), then St George (premiership favourites through the season and finals) before beating Nth Qld again in the big decider. It's not like all of the other teams played each other and suffered huge attrition rates in the lead up. ANY just my POV as a Tigers and Rugby League fan.Trialex 05:14, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for removing it. Looks and reads a lot better.Trialex 04:46, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, the idea didn't have much substance - relying wholly, IMO, on Parramatta's bizarre collaspe at the hands of the Cowboys.

[edit] four litres blood loss?

We really, urgently need a citation for such a daring statement. Normally a blood loss of two litres or more is considered life threatening! So unless he lost these four litres over the course of a long time, his survival is a very exceptional feat. 134.91.141.35 (talk) 06:57, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
