"Aleph-Null Bottles of Beer on the wall"
Joke entry. Possibly move to BJAODN, or merge with 99 Bottles of Beer.-gadfium 23:28, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, possibly a quick mention at 99 Bottles of Beer if you want to. Thue | talk 23:48, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Move to BJAODN. Megan1967 01:15, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment Recognized piece of nerd humor. Circulated during the sixties at MIT and could be much older. I vaguely recall that the character Jason in the comic strip Foxtrot may have sung it once. I hardly think it's worth an article, but it might be worth a mention in an article on nerd humor if we had one. (...So, he cut the tree into short lengths and built a rustic table out of them and put the snakes on top of the table just like the wise man advised. And, a week later there were dozens of little snakes! So when he asked the wise man why, he said... "Everybody knows that adders can multiply with a log table!")

 * Delete. Josh Cherry 02:46, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with 99 Bottles of Beer, if in fact it is true, as dpbsmith claims, that this has some notability. Doesn't need its own article. 23skidoo 04:34, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge -- don't simply delete. It does have some pop-cult notability, and was employed in the TV cartoon version of the Dilbert comic. --Christofurio 13:47, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I have now included an adequate mention of it in 99 Bottles of Beer. It's not in such widespread use that anybody would be likely to look it up by name; global text-searches should do well enough; no need for a redirect. Dpbsmith (talk) 15:26, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Del, merging anything that hasn't already been merged. --Jerzy(t) 05:06, 2005 Jan 23 (UTC)
 * Delete, blurb on 99 bottles if you want. Zellin 05:22, Jan 23, 2005 (UTC)
