anyone know his real name or history? Or the origin of his nick? -BioGeek 00:37, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
I've heard from various sources that his first name truly is 'Why', though the origin of it is mysterious. -- 71.193.234.115 21:14, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
I, too, came here trying to find the origin of the phrase "why the lucky stiff." It's very familiar, in fact I think it may have come from a farside comic. Anyway, that would be very appropriate content for this page. 69.106.241.23 15:30, 19 September 2006 (UTC) -Trav
Just for the record that's why I came here too. I am also curious where the underscore in _why comes from. --nertzy 07:48, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
If you watch, you'll see that Why doesn't always use the underscore. He told me that he uses it in situations where the word "why" would otherwise be ambiguous. Glv 23:35, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] secrets
This got cut from the main article because it was unsourced. But it's still interesting so I want to put it here:
"why's last name is Malsky, but his first name remains not generally known. He appears to work or have worked for Inetz Media Group, located in Salt Lake City, Utah, but this is also not certain"

This idea probably comes from the lead character Malsky in _why's Least Surprised. If that's it I doubt he would use his own name, as he creates characters all the time with all sorts of names. --nertzy 09:49, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
This article is a stub which clearly should be merged with the main entry, Elf With Ham. 69.49.44.11 14:01, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] RedHanded
Hey Hu12, why don't you actually look into the external links you're removing as "spam" before removing them. This is a biographical article, and I was inserting a link to why the lucky stiff's blog titled RedHanded. He's known for his writing there more than anything other than his book... --Sinned 22:51, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
P.S. that means I recommend someone else add the link to RedHanded that Hu12 removed, as I'm not doing it or he'll try to ban me for not listening to him. --Sinned
No problem, Sinned. I also added _why's photo blog (which is awesome), hopefully that'll survive Hu12's wrought iron fist. -- Klondike 18:11, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
