- Support, though I had to go and read the article and so on to do so. What is the "great scott" about? Noodle snacks (talk) 00:51, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- It's a rather weak pun. Sorry, I thought that everyone knew about Sir Walter Scott, but then, I live in Edinburgh... Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 04:30, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- I've heard of the saying "Great Scott", but I haven't heard of Sir Walter Scott. Incidentally, I discovered that WP has an article on the matter: Great ScottNoodle snacks (talk) 05:36, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- Really?! Not even Waverley, Ivanhoe, or Rob Roy? Heh. Cutlure shock. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 06:04, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- Nope. I'm not a huge fiction reader on my own, though I was when I was younger. Sadly my pre-tertiary English course involved making up feelings and relating them to the texts in such a way that would appease the biases of the examiners. I wish I had done English studies, at least that had a basis in reality. Noodle snacks (talk) 10:23, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- Well, mind, I live in Edinburgh. We have this big monument to him right in the middle of town, so it may well be a cultural bias - he's not exactly avoidable here =) Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 10:43, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- We have a big monument to Burke and Wills in Melbourne - (very much part of Australian folklore in the same way that Lewis and Clark are in the US) but I'm sure most non-Aussies would never have heard of them. Such is the nature of the world we live in. :-) Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 09:10, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
