[edit] Vanity of Mr. Sergio Bessa, of Enabler company
I removed this guy two times because his edits are Non-Enciclopedic Vanity (NEV). Maybe one day, and just maybe, he and anybody else, would deserve a place in wikipedia, but not now. Be aware of this vandal please, there are thousands of people born in Portugal during the 1970s and 1980s who would deserve be in wikipedia exactly like this guy (if not more), and they are not there because they know how childish is this kind of vanity.
(*1979 - Sergio Bessa, Portuguese Computer Scientist)

- I think we can safely say that no one has ever been right about the end of the world so far. I've seen that posted on August 22 several times in the last few weeks...at this point it remains speculation/nonsense. Fabricationary 23:17, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
'2006 - My Chemical Romance performed at Hammersmith Palais, London' - Is this really notable enough to put on this page?
[edit] Two inappropriate 2006 events
1. The definition of planet was not finally changed on august 22, but a day or two ago. 2. I don't know who My Chemical Romance is supposed to be, but I think someone is just advertising.
