It stands for 'watch idiot savant'. Don't know what it means though.
WIS = Watch Idiot Savant, in other words guys like us that get into all the details of little time machines that most others could give a **** about!

We Idolize Submariners
Woman in stockings
Women in Submariners?

Glad it's not just me then!

Thanks.
