Trivia Cleanup WikiProject.

Trivia sections, while often interesting, are out of place in encyclopedia articles and have become totally out of control on Wikipedia. I often think that Wikipedia would do well to add a separate "meta-cultural" tab to contain that sort of data. That way, people could feel free to fill it with references in their culture, thus more fully fleshing out the living ideas related to the subject for others and for posterity, while simultaneously keeping the kernel of the article clean and simple. But this is but a dream.

I went through Jukai, and I believe the Four Seals to be true, so I consider myself a Buddhist. I seek to improve my practice, and I need to sit more.

Yeah, I liked 2000, and I even grew to accept XP eventually, but Vista was just too much. Saw it once, never used it again, and I aim to keep it that way.

Shield was still thriving when his time came and he crossed over into the Lord's keeping. His warrior band did what he bade them when he laid down the law among the Danes: they shouldered him out to the sea's flood, the chief they revered who had long ruled them. A ring-whorled prow rode in the harbour, ice-clad, outbound, a craft for a prince. They stretched their beloved lord in his boat, lait out by the mast, amidships, the great ring-giver. Far-fetched treasures were piled upon him, and precious gear. I never hear before of a ship so well furbished with battle tackle, bladed weapons and coats of mail. The massed treasure was loaded on top of him: it would travel far on out into the ocean's sway. They decked his body no less bountifully with offerings than those first ones did who cast him away when he was a child and launched him alone over the waves. And they set a gold standard up high above his head and let him drift to wind and tide, bewailing him and mourning their loss. No man can tell, no wise man in hall or weathered veteran knows for certain who salvaged that load.

The funeral of King Scyld Scefing. (From Beowulf; Seamus Heaney translation)
