Kontaktejo's edits
This section keeps getting added:. It is full of buzz-words, violating WP:NPOV, and contains nothing not already in the article. I have now reverted it three times, and will not do so a fourth time as I do not want to violate WP:3RR. But please discuss why this belongs in the article.

Suggestions
This needs some editing (repeats itself, "cult following" and the language is somewhat awkward (non-English speaker?). Also needs references and more analysis and interpretation (as opposed to random facts).  --Mdukas (talk) 07:07, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

The meaning of "la fura dels baus" in catalan.
There is a mistake in the translation of the name. A "fura" is a ferret (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferret). "Els Baus" is a place name from Quico Palomar's and Marcel·lí Antúnez birthplace, Moià. So the name means "The ferret from Els Baus"

References (in catalan and spanish, sorry):

http://www.365d365e.com/entrevistes/?p=1822 "Ràpidament se’ns hi va unir en Josep Picanyol, que aleshores era cuiner, i de tant en tant se’ns hi unia en Quico Palomar, que era deu anys més gran que nosaltres, però que va ser fonamental a l’hora de tirar endavant el grup. De fet, el nom de la Fura dels Baus és seu. Té algun significat especial? No. En Quico volia que ens diguéssim la Fura i jo els Baus, que és un topònim del nostre poble. Vam unir totes dues propostes i en va sortir la Fura dels Baus."

Translation:

- Soon Josep Picanyol, who was a cook at that time, joined us, and from time to time Quico Palomar who was 10 years older than us, joined us. But he was essential in carrying on with the group. In fact, the name "la Fura dels Baus" is from him. - Does it mean anything special? - No. Quico wanted us to be called "la fura" and I wanted "Els Baus", wich is a toponym from our town. We merged both proposals and the result was "la fura dels baus".

"Etimológicamente, Fura es el nombre de un tipo de hurón que vive en la zona catalana. Y Els Baus es un toponímico, es el nombre de unos antiguos ojos de agua que había en un pueblito, pero que se desecaron, o sea que encima ya ha perdido ese nombre la entidad que tenía..."

Translation:

"Etymologically, Fura is the name of a type of ferret wich lives in the catalan zone. And Els Baus is a toponym, its the name of an ancient water stream there was in a small village, but it dryed, so the name was lost and also the entity it carried."
