- 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)
"We Three Kings Of Orient Are"
(Copied from Wikipedia:Reference desk/Humanities)
What are the words to this carol?
See here. Filiocht | The kettle's on 15:48, 14 December 2005 (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:
- We four Beatles of Liverpool are
- John in a taxi, Paul in a car,
- George on a scooter, beeping his hooter
- Following Ringo Starr.

Another one to make the five year olds giggle:
- We three kings of Leicester Square
- Selling Knickers, tuppence a pair
- They're fantastic, no elastic
- Running around all bare
AJR | Talk 19:34, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
And then there's:
- We three Kings of Orient are,
- trying to smoke an exploding cigar.
- It was loaded, it exploded ...
... BOOM! ...
- Silent night, holy night ...

With reference to Daniel Brandt:
- 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)

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."
