oh, Wikipedia

So I've discovered, since falling in love with The West Wing, that Wikipedia has articles for fictional characters (thus further blurring the line, in my brain, about who is actually the president, YAY). I was staring at the article for Josh Lyman this morning because, for reasons that definitely do not need exploring at this juncture, I want to know Josh's birthdate, and how old he was when his sister died. I could swear that in some previous redaction, the article included some speculation based on some dialogue about whether he'd been born in 1960 or 1961 (actor's birthdate, which may be the best we can do if I completely hallucinated that, is in 1959).

It suddenly occurred to me, a bit later, that there might well be an article for Benton Fraser, which, as you can see, there is. If you click through, however, you may find that it's written from a ... particular historical perspective, let us say--enjoy the link, downpage, to the article on Detective Stanley "Ray Vecchio" Kowalski!

(On the bright side, you'll all be delighted to know that the IMDB image for the later seasons of due South is no longer a Cuisinart.)

(Wikipedia also, incidentally, has an article on the 2006 Stanley Cup Playoffs, which begin tonight!)
