It's interesting that, for the sample search on "Jesus" as shown above, 
one of the biggest-print tags is "Fictional character".

There seem to be character-set problems; Wikipedia is served under 
UTF-8, and so is DBpedia, but something in between seems to be mangling 
the non-ASCII characters in search results so you end up with random 
garbage.
