I spend too much time on the internet

I can't say I've just discovered it, because I've used it a few times before. But let's say that I have recently come to better appreciate the wonderful online tool called Wikipedia. As many of you already know, it is an online encyclopoedia filled with (mostly) accurate information provided by users of the site. It often provides the references to the information it gives, usually with mucho (mas o menos) external links. I've come to appreciate it more because of the recent revelation that it has articles on stuff I find cool, such as

Toby Huss
The League of Gentlemen
Firesign Theatre
Madballs
Homestar Runner
Mark Evanier
Cake
Pink Floyd
Police Squad

And, surprisingly, a mention of Waterman. And while Ralph Snart has finally gotten his own article, Weird Melvin has nothing yet. I've had to trade in some of my loftier dreams over the years for those that are perhaps more attainable, but is it too much to hope that my name may one day make it into the informationally substantial labyrinth of Wikipedia?

And the birth of this type of dream, my friends, is the exact moment when you have spent too much time on the internet.

Beware.
