On an only tangentially-related note: The second of Stephen's links is a blog that also contains a short item on the Wikipedia entry for APA style (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APA_style). Whoever wrote it has been having a bit of fun with the example references used. For instance: Costanza, G., Seinfeld, J., Benes, E., Kramer, C., & Peterman, J. (1993). Minuti¨ and insignificant observations from the nineteen-nineties. /Journal about Nothing, 52/, 475--649. Retrieved October 31, 1999, from NoTHINGJournals database. or (for you old detective movie buffs): Marlowe, P., Spade, S., & Chan, C. (2001). Detective work and the benefits of colour versus black and white. /Journal of Pointless Research, 11/, 123--124.
