I'm not sure what Codename:Kids Next Door is; apparently it's some kind of ghastly American commercial children's "entertainment". I've never seen it, but then I try not to watch programmes that might inspire me to use my revolver on my telly. Do you know that it costs twenty guineas to have the dustman remove a shattered set? I just can't keep doing that.

I will say this: I find it absolutely delightful that there are people who create and painstakingly work on, and argue about, not only articles like this, but sub-articles on the episodes, major characters, minor characters, and so forth. It's a wonderful world, full of delightful people!

Who could resist joining the fun?

Now, I do gather that the episode titles of this programme are, for some inexplicable reason, rendered as acronyms (e.g., "Operation I.N.S.U.F.F.E.R.A.B.L.E" rather than "Operation Insufferable"). If I choose to make scores of edits correcting "mistakes" on this score, with edit summaries admonishing fellow editors to avoid such errors "In the name of the Living God" because "Absolutely nothing could be more important", well, its not against Wikipedia policy to correct errors in articles, is it?

Now, if one can write a piece like the one referenced here, and drop it like a pebble into the vastness of the internet, and have someone cull from all the trillions of bytes of dross in the cloud, and give an award (Awful Link of the Day!) to this bit of prose, what writer would not have his very toes curl in delight? A reader! Yes only one, but a reader!

Of course, when you you consider someone in a darkened room somewhere spending their time poring over the talk page history of a Wikipedia article on an entity called Codename:Kids Next Door, the question must arise:

Who's zoomin' whom?

And the answer is: It cannot be known.

And that, grasshopper, is the first step on the path to internet satori.
