[edit] Alpha Gamma Delta

Regarding your contribution to Alpha Gamma Delta if you notice further on down the page the designation is specifically 'fraternity for women' so instead of a sorority it goes by fraternity. This is not just some random designation so please double check before you change something like that. Thanks. --ImmortalGoddezz 00:14, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spaceballs

Hi Eridani, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm afraid I just removed your addition to Spaceballs analyzing the implications of the relationship between Lone Starr and Dark Helmet (it's quite a coincidence that I stumbled upon it mere hours after you added it).

Anyway, to get a bit geeky about this, the reason your conclusions don't hold is the following. Here's the original statement:

Lone Starr's "father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate," (which means Helmet was either Starr's cousin's roommate, or even Starr's own roommate, if he had one cousin on his father's side)

Okay, let's take this a step at a time:

• "father's brother's" = "uncle's"
• "uncle's nephew's" could just be "cousin's", but this could equally well refer to a nephew by marriage of the given uncle.
• even if it is just "cousin's", that gives us "cousin's cousin's former roommate". Now "cousin's cousin" doesn't necessarily mean "cousin": my cousins on my mother's side and my cousins on my father's side are clearly not cousins of one another.

So the most we can simplify the original statement, while retaining full generality is "uncle's nephew's cousin's former roommate". --Saforrest 18:45, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
