[edit] Trivia

  • Trespassers William got their name from a Winnie the Pooh tale, Pooh and Piglet Go Hunting and Nearly Catch a Woozle by A.A. Milne: "Next to [Piglet's] house was a piece of broken board which had: "TRESPASSERS W" on it. When Christopher Robin asked the Piglet what it meant, he said it was his grandfather's name . . . it was short for Trespassers Will, which was short for Trespassers William. And his grandfather had had two names in case he lost one--Trespassers after an uncle, and William after Trespassers."<ref>Winnie the Pooh, Chapter 3...in which Pooh and Piglet Go Hunting and Nearly Catch a Woozle.
