  • Comment: I think "Behold" was intended to link to something other than furniture polish, but I must say I am still a bit confused. Pending an explanation, I'm leaning towards oppose. This probably is the first time someone has tried to use furniture polish in a motto, however. Hersfold ^(talk/work) 17:35, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Reply. Hi. L.m.a.o. The thing is, I usually don't check the links to see what they point to. I didn't know what you meant by furniture polish, until I clicked the link...<font size="∞^∞">LOL!. What I meant by "behold" was not furniture polish! I just meant the word behold. The reason for this is, according to The Roman Mysteries, "En" was latin for behold. So, the motto would then mean, "Behold! Wikipedia!", a pun off en.wikipedia. If this isn't clear enough, please replace the arrow with a better link. Thanks. ~AH1^(TCU) 17:50, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Reply to reply - Ha ha, I was wondering what kind of reaction that was going to get. I took the liberty, then, of redirecting your link to Wiktionary and the entry on "Behold" there.
