Hiya. This is slightly off-topic, perhaps, but I'd like to recommend a hilarious cartoon series that I think the PPC would appreciate. It's called Time Squad, and it was on Cartoon Network for a while, but, alas, was too good to last, ending with two seasons, and they don't really show it anymore, so you might have to pick up a DVD or look on Youtube to watch it.
Basically, the premise is this. It's the year 1,000,000 and the countries of Earth have long since ironed out their problems and merged into one big happy supernation. But, there are still problems. As time moves on, it is discovered that the past is unraveling as it ages, creating lots of very silly time paradoxes that it falls to the Time Squad to correct.
The Time Squad go in pairs, a human officer and a robot. Each pair is based aboard a satellite and alerted to things like Blackbeard becoming obsessed with saving the whales, Eli Whitney inventing the flesh-eating robot, President Taft perpetrating a Scooby-Doo-style monster hoax, and all that by their annoying, beeping console.
This series follows one pair in particular, the mismatched Buck Tudrussel and Larry 3000, who have the misfortune of not knowing anything about history. This all changes when, in a mission to the 21st Century, the pick up genius orphan Otto Osworth, who really ends up doing most of the work. And so, they're off to save the fabric of reality from collapsing.
I wonder, does any of this sound familiar to y'all?

Time Squad was one of the last shows I was following when I finally got over my television addiction. I especially liked the episode with the cheery, pink-obsessed Edgar Allen Poe. I think what made Time Squad so fun was that it DIDN'T take the plots too seriously, sort of like the way PPC missions are written.
Lololol.
