Actually, I don't believe there is a "Fnord wikipedia page" and I'm not going to click that link to find out what lies on the other side (considering who's linking to it). There can't possibly be a Fnord wikipedia page because Firefox is telling me that Fnord isn't even a word! But David, you didn’t tell us WHY you were viewing the Fnord wikipedia page.

Your post refers to "the image above", but there's just a big blank space at the top of the article. You might want to fix that. There's also something about this page that's making me strangely anxious. Hey guys, it looks like there’s a problem with your site.

You have the order wrong in this sentence. The original print ‘zine IS inextricably linked to the work of RAW, et al – however, his work is NOT inextricably linked to BB.
