Wikipedia Entry
Dude. I am in the Wikipedia. This is big. And apparently I am “the son of the thunder and the wide-open plain.” Not to mention my command performance for Michael I of Romania (this is not far off, in college I roomed with a Romanian prince - not Michael I you understand, a different one). I like very much where this is going.
On another note entirely, allow me to address a question that some of you have asked. In the song “That Spells DNA” I mention some base pair strings that indicate certain conditions like cancer and nut allergies. These are made up. I’m pretty sure that actual important strings of DNA would be too long to put into a song and still have a song that someone might want to listen to. I’m just saying, don’t go buying medicine just because Coulton says you have a disease.

If you ever re-record the song, you ought to change the DNA strings so they end in either TAA, TGA, or TAG. These are the codons that signal the end of a gene — you could have totally blown the minds of some biologists!

Well, it’s about time. And esoteric!

Why did you ignore me when I first posted the link to it? Sadly, I had to remove the son of thunder garbage because it’s not factually correct (being *ahem* the original author of the article, but I did put it on the talk page.

jpez,
A.K.A. Mr. Sensitive Wikipedia Author,
Ignore is a strong word. May I direct you to this comment here in direct response to yours regarding said Wikipedia entry: http://www.jonathancoulton.com/2005/08/08/trapped-in-the-closet/#comment-150
As the record shows, it’s not as if I have just noticed my Wikipediatry - it’s more that I have just now decided to bring it to the attention of the folks who may not be crazy/bored enough to read all these comments. Like L. Ron Hubbard, I keep some information hidden from my flock until it is TIME FOR THEM TO KNOW.
P.S. I like the new 3.

Sorry, sorry, I forgot about that.
Thanks for the compliment.

No, thank YOU for the Wikipedia entry…
