I was surpised that such a huge number of pages linked to this one while Poisson (disambiguation) did not. I've added it to that page. Most of the links from that page are of course to articles about the many things named after the more famous person named Poisson. Michael Hardy 21:54, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
