Lies, damn lies, and TEH INTARWEB

[serinde]

I must go kneecap whoever fucked up the Wikipedia entry for Blue Beetle. Most of it's fine, but I'm sorry, kids, just because Chuck fucking Dixon fails to do a bit of research and says once in a book in which Beetle is a bit character that Ted, in this case, stands for Edward--well, this does not invalidate decades of previous canon stating that our boy's real name is Theodore.

The thing that really irritates me is that I'm now going to have to unpack all my comics, which are all tidily packed up for moving, so I can quote chapter and verse when I go to fix this wretched disinformation.

I didn't even know Ned was short for Edward.

I'm gonna start going by 'Tom', and tell people it's short for Joseph.
