Bogardus

Bogardus, funny name! It most certainly sounds like a latinized German surname, such as Bogart, and also like Swedish/Danish/Norwegian "bo" (house/nest) + "gård" (garden/yard). It doesn't make an entry in my Latin ↔ English Dictionary. I think this might be a hoax. I'll see if I can find an entry at The VizieR Catalogue Service, it uses to be complete.

Nope, nilnada at VizieR! I'll make a google. Said: Rursus ☺ ★ 18:49, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Google makes a number of hits on Bogardus plus theta Aur, but most looks like copies of Wikipedia, parts of info collected from Wikipedia, and the rest like amateur astron. discussions. Bogardus is probably a hoax. Said: Rursus ☺ ★ 18:55, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

I forgot to say: Bogardus is intensely ugly too. It sounds like the quacking of toads in a stinky midgetfilled pond a summer night in May. Said: Rursus ☺ ★ 19:02, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

ok, so without taking note of the last comment, maybe a redirect to Woerden or a comment on Everardus Bogardus would be more in tune... this redirect is confusing, but what do I know. (Anon. Google employee.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.103.224.194 (talk) 22:33, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
