    In the January 4, 2005 Update, you said that Otto Stern was the only person to have been awarded the Nobel Prize after his death, however http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Stern
    says that he was awarded the nobel prize 26 years BEFORE he died. Could you please fix this?

    Damn revisionist historians.

    Great catch! This just goes to show everyone how inaccurate wikipedia can be. As per your request, I have edited the wikipedia page to reflect the correct information.

    Thanks Legat. The Internet certainly is a better place with your selfless contribution.

    Um, actually, it seems that it is this site that is wrong. Multiple hardcover references say that Stern was awarded his prize while he was still living.

    Yeah, sure -- next you'll be telling me It was presented to him by that urkle dude, who's also dead.

    They died together, in a horrid plane crash. It appears Urkleman was flying the plane. Possible homicide? Suicide? There's reason to believe that he didn't do it.

    (i also just wanted to have an excuse to type "FW".)

    hold down the alt key. press 13 on the keypad (not the numbers at the top). release alt. Look up ANSI for more.

    the problem with using fact check forum and comparing to wiki is that they're both comunity editable stuff so its difficult to compare plus cmseagle rome total war rules

    There *is* no comparison. Why even bother? Here we *guarantee* each factoid has been researched by a fact checker to a fair-thee-well.

    I debated which way to go and took a guess. You may be right. (For now. I bet I can find -- er -- let's say "come up with" a reference that supports my decision.)

    Perhaps he was commenting on the pleasing appearance of the factoids as well as their perfection.
