Wikipedia dangers

              Ya Sam:
              I've never edited Wikipedia, but if I were to change
              the Pynchon article, stating that he has written 
              'The Da Vinci Code', that act of vandalism would 
              be detected, the article restored and my IP 
              blacklisted, no? The only problem is that if there is 
              a stupid student preparing for a Pynchon class who 
              would check the vandalised article before it is fixed, 
              he would go to class perfectly sure that Pynchon is 
              the author of the 'Da Vinci Code'.

Gawd, I'd love Pynchon's re-write of the 'Da Vinci Code'. It would be like
James O. Incadenza's Infamous Video from infinite Jest. Readers would
laugh themselves to death, they'd never be able to stop reading, they 
would eventually cease to metabolize, creating yet another 
Pynchonian entropy/death-machine trope....
