    I honestly can't see any reason for it not being accetpable. I mean, they're fun facts about him, which (as far as I know) are allowed.

    I always thought those quote sections and stuff were too much. People would just add any random quote they heard off the latest bombcast. It was funny at first, but it was taken waayyy out of hand.
