     @brionv Maybe it was due to "Jason of Star Command".. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_of_Star_Command Note the pocket robot's name. :)

     @brionv @evan I'm pretty sure this search is capturing books first published in 1980 whose later editions mention #wikipedia.

     @evan I'm a lawyer. I'm not here to make things more exciting.

     @brionv gbooks indexes sets of magazines under their first publication date, so you get things like http://bit.ly/ikhOab showing as 1934
