message: A link on the Judge Dredd page takes us here, to this entirely unrelated page. Should it be removed? It's located at the beginning of the "Family and Friends" section, in the first paragraph. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.111.167.39 (talk) 06:51, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

message: How is this a paraprosdokian (as somebody has claimed in the article)? The second part of the sentence doesn't cause you to reinterpret the first part. Sure, the idea is that the brother's weight is insignificant compared to the need to carry him, but that's pretty much still saying the same thing.
Is the paraprosdokian original research that should be removed or just plain fact? Wenttomowameadow (talk) 16:58, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree. I'm removing it. I kept reading it over and over trying to figure out how "he ain't heavy" could have a second meaning. It doesn't. Dancindazed (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 02:09, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

message: Somewhat surprised there's no mention on this page of the long association between this song and the assassination of Martin Luther King; the song is frequently used as a tribute to him and, IIRC, it was one of the reasons why the Hollies recorded it.
