Delete. Vanity. And such vanity. "In his obscure days his hat was number six and a quarter; in these latter days he was not able to get his head into a barrel." —Mark Twain in Eruption.

So vain that I charitably want to believe it's a joke by an acquaintance of his. He's on Category:1979 births too -- please could whoever ends up deleting this remove him from there as well? (I'd do it myself now, but it feels like pre-empting the VfD process to remove it before the article goes.) Oh, and delete, of course. Pnot 07:51, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
One in a taxi, one in a car / one on a scooter, 'ooting 'is 'ooter / following yonder star. At least that's the way I used to sing it in school. --Bob Mellish 15:57, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and Fountain, Moor and Mountain
Following Yonder Star
Chorus:
Oh, Star of Wonder, Star of Light
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
Born a king on Bethlehem plain
Gold I bring to crown him again
King forever, ceasing never"
Over us all to reign
Chorus
Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a Deity high
Prayer and praising; all men raising
Worship him, God on high
Chorus
Myrrh is mine, its bitter purfume
Leads a life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in a stone cold tomb
Chorus
Glorious now, behold him, arise
King, and God, and sacrifice
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Earth to Heaven replies.

I was taught a slightly different version by my father:
Brandt's chart was obviously a scare tactic to encourage the deletion. I'd like to see him sue for such petty things. "These meanies called me names on the internets and made me real sad :((" (User:EndAnonDiscrimination)
" We could create Wikipedia:Reference desk/Medical_emergency and people could ask questions like, "omg my armz r bleding wut do i do lolz," or "Help my hair is on fire, will that turn its mass into energy?" Cernen Xanthine Katrena 07:38, 24 January 2006 (UTC) "
Removing garbage from front of JPEG file
Perl. More specifically perl -i.bak -0777 -pe 's/^.*?(.{6})(Exif|JFIF)/$1$2/s' Pict0002.jpg. I then found the number of bytes removed by comparing the size of the resulting file to the original. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 00:02, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
"Given that a number of people have poked fun at Wikipedia itself for cultivating a dry, bland style of writing, the reader may wonder just how bad legal prose really is if judges are resorting to Wikipedia references to add color."
