Careful: Chinese Women's Writing Is Just A Click From Ancient Mesopotamia
For reasons uninteresting, I was browsing the Wikipedia article on Mesopotamia when I found something abnormally interesting. Nusku, a god the currently holds my attention, was perhaps listed among several other ancient Mesopotamian gods. So I took the link to Nushu(?). And where did it get me?
Nü Shu: (. . . Nǚshū; literally "women's writing"), is a syllabary writing system that was used exclusively among women in Jiangyong County in Hunan province of southern China.
I just clicked my heels three times and was quickly home again. But I do think a little disambiguation would help.
Update: Fixed a couple of things.

Is the misspelling of "heels" a deliberate pun?

No, it was a stupid mistake that I have fixed.
