Wikipedia, source of all my knowledge

Saturday, August 26th, 2006

On a random browse through Wikipedia the other day, I discovered a list of foodstuffs named after people (as one does), and on it was Eggs Benedict, named after one of several people called “Benedict”.

I then read on to learn that is the source of Dirk Benedict’s stage name.

So he’s a person named after a dish, that was itself named after a person.

Honestly, you couldn’t make this stuff up.
