LOL, yes, I saw that too when I looked in Wikipedia last night myself!  Then 
I went to YouTube and watched a couple of "Istanbul" videos, particularly 
the Tiny Toons version.  They did one of "Particle Man" too. 

Also, I'll agree with you, Urtatim, Wikipedia is a great place to find some 
basic information _fast_ and jump from there to further research.  And, if 
you disagree with what you see, there is always the option of joining up and 
editing! 

Best,
