Hi, long time lurker, first tme poster

In the newest update to the Trillian messenging program (3.0) there's a feature that will display the Wikipedia entries for certain words when you mouse over them in a chat window. I moused over Serenity (The name of my iPod) and the following is displayed:

Serenity can refer to:

* Serenity, a disposition free from stress.
*[ http://quote.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Serenity_Prayer The Serenity Prayer].
* ''Serenity'', an upcoming science fiction film from Joss Whedon, based upon his ''Firefly'' television series.
* "Serenity", the pilot episode of ''Firefly''.
* Serenity, an album of live music by jazz musician Stan Getz.

Two Firefly references! Shiny! However typing in Firefly gets only a reference on the bug itself

Hi, Jason, and welcome to posting!

I happened to see a commercial yesterday for a Firefly TOOTHBRUSH. Apparently, it lights up for 1 minute, or something, to time kids' toothbrushing. When the light goes out, they are done. Or something. Anyway, I had to smile and am still debating whether to buy one for myself.

Careful. Flashing lights may trigger a grand Mal seizure.

Toothsomely,

P.S.
'...standing in front of her vanity...' Redundant?

That is too cool, Jason!! Thanks for passing that along.

Wikipedia has a nice section on Firefly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefly_(television) *the close parenthesis isn't coming along for the link so you'll have to manually add that.
I have no idea who was responsible for putting those entries in, but they did good. It looks like a lot of the information is the same as the Firefly wiki ( http://www.fireflywiki.org/ ) so maybe there was some cross-pollinization going on .

Oh yeah, that feature got turned off pronto! While it was fun to see those noted references, I don't want little underlines over every gorram thing I say!

Keep flying
