Hello
    Just wanted to point out that there seems to be a bug in the way  
the wex files for types are generated.  E.g., Rain (singer) maps to a  
freebase guid:
9202a8c04000641f80000000038882a7.  Here is a grep of all types for  
this guid from the freebase types file in wex:

9202a8c04000641f80000000038882a7        /business/company
9202a8c04000641f80000000038882a7        /media_common/pseudonym
9202a8c04000641f80000000038882a7        /people/person

I checked the wikipedia entry in case it somehow defined a person who  
was both a company and a person :-), but that doesn't seem to be the  
case -- Rain is a pseudonym for a Korean singer.  BTW, I tried to  
search for Rain from the UI, I can't find it there either.  Is this  
guid somehow "irrelevant"?

Thanks!

Kavitha
