Talk:Junior Woodchucks Guidebook

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] What should be in it?

What would everybody like included if someone sat down in a library and gathered content for some kind of a junior woodchuck guidebook? :-)

Please let me know.

cheers

What do you mean by "what should be in it"? It says it contains all knowledge except that wich a woodchuck is already supposed to know. If you mean, how would you compile it out of a library of books, well, you probably write down all the important things from all the books from all the libraries of the world, and if you happen to come across an ancient, long lost Byzantine library, you add that too. You probably also compile all sorts of legends and stories from all around the world in it, cultural references, well, culture itself. Both modern and ancient, of course. And then you add all the usefull stuff from the internet.

Basically, you try to squash all the knowledge of the world, past and present, known and obscure, into one suurce: your handbook.

[edit] Parlor?

This artilce uses the word "parlor" apparently to mean "bilingual dictionary" or perhaps "phrase book." I have never heard of this usage of the word "parlor." I Just checked Wikipedia, Wiksionary, and Google, and I can find no definition of "parlor" except as another spelling of parlour (a formal room.) Even if this usage is technically valid, I think it is too obscure for a Wikipedia article. Arch dude 14:50, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

"Parlör" means "phrase book" in Swedish, it's probably a similar mistranslation... 惑乱 分からん 19:38, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
