It always annoys me that Wikipedia will put up stuff like this without a second thought but when people put up pop culture references they flag it as "not meeting notability standards".
If they're going to promote public contributions of knowledge they should do it like the U.S. Government awards copyrights, namely, without making a judgment call on what constitutes "valuable knowledge" and what does not."lol internet" ~ AAHZ

You cannot deny the usefulness of always knowing of what type your stool is.
I mean, isn´t it better to be able to tell your doc that yur stool is between Type 3 and 4 instead of having to describe it as a sausage with a soft surface that has a few cracks in it?

Herding cats (phrase)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The phrase herding cats comes from the common saying that something involving coordination of many different groups or people is as difficult as herding cats. One of the commonly encountered uses of the term in technical fields is the phrase "Managing programmers is like herding cats" or "Managing engineers is like herding cats". In education it would be "Managing students is like herding cats". It refers to the individualism common in the stereotypical examples of programmers and domesticated cats. A similar phrase, allegedly of Irish origins, is "Minding mice at a crossroads".
At ACS, it would be like for the Mods saying, "Keeping Lancer in line is like herding cats".Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

He also hates Texans and Australians, he does diversify." ~ Braindead
