That's the first time I heard it was a 'red hot' poker. A reference for that would be appreciated. Red heat in pokers suggests premeditation -- it's unusual for a poker to rest in the fire. Wikid 18:55, 20 June 2006 (UTC)


 * The precise events are disputed (I suppose the article ought to say that) but some accounts certainly say that it was red hot, whether by accident or design - see this review of Wittgenstein's Poker. -- ALoan (Talk)


 * Thanks -- that's a good link. Wikid 19:18, 21 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Good to see the balanced rewrite! I think the poker episode would be worth an article of its own -- it was, after all, worthy of a book.  Then everyone present could have their biographies footnoted with "present at the Wittgenstein's Poker episode". Wikid 08:56, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
