About the header

Shouldn't we remove that scavenger hunt clue by now? I am not sure if there is any particular reason that it is still there, so I will remove it now. PLEASE revert if this is in error. SubatomicCake (talk) 20:40, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

language question:

...or "lugg", which means 'pile' in Norwegian.

ermh, where does this information come from? :D?
afaik "lugg" is what we call the hair on the forehead, the forelock or fringe.
I've never heard "pile" be referred to as "lugg" but rather as "hop" or haug" ~ ZaphodBeeblebrox 10:52, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Name origin

First; isn't it likely that the name comes from lug (a clumpsy/big person) rather than lug (to carry heavy stuff)?

Second; I can find no evidence whatsoever that "lugg" is Norwegian for "pile", while searching the internet. It only seems to mean one thing, and that is "fringe". Also, in Swedish (which is very similar to Norwegian) "lugg" means "fringe". I'm going to edit that section a bit. Icko (talk) 17:43, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
