So, I never really stop thinking about Wilson. And I ran across some interesting info that relates to him a bit.

Wilson has in his office a pillow with the Caduceus on it. This is canon, at least for some of the episodes. However, Caduceus (wings, two snakes on a rod) is not the actual symbol for medicine; that is the Rod of Asclepius (one snake on a rod, no wings).

Caduceus is the symbol for the god Hermes: "As spokesman for the gods, he not only brought peace on earth (occasionally even the peace of death), but his silver-tongued eloquence could always make the worse appear the better cause."

Another bit of trivia linking Wilson to the gods:

Wilson's license plate is New Jersey EIR 55D.

My friend Google tells me that in Norse mythology, "Eir («help»,«grace»,«mercy»,«protection»,«calm») is the goddess associated with healing. Eir is the healer of the other gods and goddesses."

Here is a piece of trivia for the day: Wilson's license plate is New Jersey EIR 55D.

Eir makes me think of Eire, Ireland, and David Shore saying that RSL is the most Irish looking guy he could have found to play Jewish Wilson.

However, my friend Google tells me that in Norse mythology, "Eir («help»,«grace»,«mercy»,«protection»,«calm») is the goddess associated with healing. Eir is the healer of the other gods and goddesses."

You go, House props department, you go.
