Wikipedia Crawl

I was channel surfing and stumbled upon The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. He was doing a Michael Caine impression and made some joke that I didn't quite get. Wikipedia to the rescue! or so I thought...

1:36 am
Michael_Caine
Scottish_English
Regional_accents_of_English_speakers
American_English

1:58 am: I split into two simultaneous tabs:

Branch 1:
Regional_vocabularies_of_American_English
--#The_West
Jefferson_State
State_of_Franklin
State_of_Lincoln
List_of_U.S._states_by_date_of_statehood
Historic_regions_of_the_United_States
--#Unrecognized_or_self-declared_entities
2:24 am

Branch 2:
American_English_regional_differences
California_English
--#Freeway_nomenclature

There are some real gems in there. Never did find out what Ferguson was referencing though.
