I agree with Rusty that fountain of knowledge is the most common term, although all the terms you mentioned are perfectly correct and understandable. Note also that sabiduría technically means wisdom, not knowledge, which is conocimiento.

I agree. The same in England. Bad news for you Robin. Robin Hood was killed off last night on BBC TV and Maid Marion was killed a few weeks ago. The end of a legend? Pourquoi a tu choisi le nom Robindesbois?

He oido "diccionario con patas". No es lo mismo que "enciclopedia andante" pero me pareció gracioso de todas formas.
