Relationship to U.S. president

In the first movie, he's always on the red phone to the U.S. president, so there's an American command element even there... AnonMoos (talk) 20:21, 17 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Redundancy

edit

I suspect that the reason for the redundancy in the expansion of Z.O.W.I.E. is because it's a reverse acronym or, as Dan Alderson liked to call them, a "mynorca." That is, first the writer decided that the agency's name would be ZOWIE, and then came up with a set of words that could be abbreviated to form that word.
