  • Awesome hook! Properly sourced, neutral and made me laugh when I read it because it's just so random. New article of sufficient length, hook of proper length. Article is neutral, appropriately sourced and spotchecks showed no concerns with copyright violations or close paraphrasing. The picture is free and used in the article, but it's not really all that interesting, IMO. Dana boomer 02:24, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
