I found one! I found one! It does not happen often that I come across an item that some other, more astute reader than I mentions first. Towards the beginning of Infernal when RJ is retrieving the Duke Snyder baseball, Polio is blaring from another apartment which allows Scotty to sneak up on Jack. If I'm not mistaken, Polio was the band The Nail, the slug who stole the Christmas presents in Legacies, used to play bass for.

Of course, if I had an RJ wiki at my disposal, I could easily give you the correct one. And if I'm wrong and The Nail is mentioned in Infernal, please point me to the page number!

You can find it on page 56 in Infernal, the Forge edition. And I checked in Legacies, the page that mentions Polio and Joey DiCiglia is 50, also a Forge edition.

What is a wiki? Well, similar to the best known wiki: Wikipedia.org and taken from their Overview FAQ, a wiki is "a website which any visitor can edit, with the changes showing up immediately. Ward Cunningham invented the concept and software."
If we set this up similar to Wikipedia, we could then have an online encyclopedia of RJ information as well as, presumably, any other F. Paul works.
If it's decided that this is a good idea, the next issues would revolve around logistics, I would imagine. Things like: who will host the RJ Wiki site?
Anyways, I'm interested in your thoughts on this. So, let 'er rip.
