Seinfeld reference?[edit]

S05E09 "The Masseuse" - Elaine dates a man who happens to share the name as one of the most prolific serial killers in the history of New York, Joel Rifkin.

WikiProject class rating[edit]

This article was automatically assessed because at least one article was rated and this bot brought all the other ratings up to at least that level. BetacommandBot 17:31, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Popular culture[edit]

The "popular culture" section has two contradictory statements:

"One of the names she proposes is ironically O.J. (in this case after Buffalo Bills running back O.J. Simpson)[2]"

"The suggestion that Elaine's friend change his name to O.J. was inspired by Ottis James (O.J.) Anderson, of the New York Giants who Elaine and company were going to see later in the episode." --ParkerWolf (talk) 06:57, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Paragraph breaks[edit]

Add 'em.

Nassau Community College[edit]

Nassau Community College has no dorms because it is a 2 year junior college. Therefore Joel could not have "lived on campus" as entered. My source is: I went to Nassau Community College and there isn't, nor has there ever been, any on campus housing facilities. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.72.32.236 (talk) 04:06, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it, as there was nothing to back it up. Even if it could be cited, it seems trivial anyway. Doc talk 06:08, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Odd religious class statement[edit]

" He attended religious classes at the Sholem Aleichem Folk School, run by a secular group of Jews who did not believe in God." - This doesn't exactly make sense PerfectClean (talk) 21:50, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
