The end is nigh!

After years (well I’ve been on the net since ’95 so I can say years) or search­ing I have final­ly found a sub­ject about which the Inter­net knows noth­ing. I thought I was close two years back when I jok­ing­ly said to a friend “There’s prob­a­bly even web­sites ded­i­cat­ed to ‘Hey Dad’!”. Turns out there are web­sites about ‘Hey Dad!’, thought strange­ly their most­ly in Ger­man, go fig­ure.
But I think I’ve final­ly found a hole in the vast sum of triv­ial that is the Inter­net. I can’t find any­thing more than a pass­ing ref­er­ence in the occa­sion­al web log to *The Rock­et Clock* from ‘Playschool’. I mean the search did­n’t even turn up any decent porn sites!
