Who cut the Cheese? Don't know, but they used Adam's Razor

Today you will be treated to an usual Razor post. As I was reviewing the volumes of web-traffic to the Razor, I noticed that I am getting an overwhelming number of hits from Menasha, Wisconsin. Not knowing anyone from Wisconsin, I was intrigued. So as a salute to these unknown Slicers, I offer this:



Menasha, Wisconsin


Menasha is a city in Winnebago County in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It is located on the north west shore of Lake Winnebago and the mouth of the Fox River. The population was 16,331 at the 2000 census, but the citys' website currently claims to have grown to 17,430. Not wishing to pick a fight, I'll concede that they may have grown by 6.73 percent over the past 11 years.


The city's name comes from the Winnebago Indian word meaning "thorn" or "island". Without a complex and detailed analysis of the Ho-Chunk language, I'm not able to discern which meaning they had in mind when naming their fair city. Perhaps "Thorn in Wisconsin's Side"?


Like many Wisconsinites, the people of Menasha subsist primarily on a diet of cheese. Men and women are often seen wearing large triangular shaped blocks of it on their heads. When not consuming large quantities of dairy products, locals can be seen at the Hungry Bull Restaurant, where they enjoy beef provided by cows dedicated enough to make a more permanent commitment.


From the Editor: For your convenience, I've deleted the rest of this post before publishing. It droned on and on for quite some time with references to the Green Bay Packers, Oshkosh, and other Wisconsin related nonsense, none of it particularly funny. As a favor to the rest of us, would the visitor(s) from Wisconsin please identify themselves in the comment section below this post? Adam wishes to resolve the mystery and I wish to never see him submit a similar such article. Thank You.
