Janitor: Took out the Algebra phrasing.

Ununnilium: Eh, works for me.

Dark Sasami: Removed Disraeli/Family Guy. Not the same thing, and Disraeli is hardly obscure.

Big T: Would that be closer to a UKian never hearing of James Buchanan or Abraham Lincoln? Because, honestly, I wouldn't know who Diraeli was without The Other Wiki.

Pjackson: Accringtion Stanley were not an amateur side. They were famous for dropping out of the Football League mid-season. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accrington_Stanley_F.C._%281891%29

Neil Tarrant: Accrington Stanley isn't an example of this trope - they are/were infamous as a team which had to resign from the Football league mid-season. Its not an appeal to obscurity so much as when the Simpsons make fun of Fox because of the perceived low quality of the brand.


Mark Z: Should this be moved to the Dialogue category?
