Weekly Wikipedia Find: Kilroy was here

Kilroy was here is a ubiquitous graffito popular among U.S. servicemen in the era of World War II and the Korean conflict. The graffiti itself is a depiction of a long-nosed, Ziggy-looking motherfucker peeking over a wall with the phrase "Kilroy was here" inscribed beside it. Many legends have sprung up for its origin, due to the varied places where it could be found. It's origins still, like many American things, belong to the British "Chad" and the Australian "Foo was here."
