「キツツキの穴が空いてる」is not an idiom, it's probably a metaphor, meaning 'revealing the truth'. Sometimes「ように」is just ommited, you know.

Hey! It's nice to see you're back! You were quiet for a whole week so it was pretty lonely here.... ^_^ Oh I see, let's just leave it at that and add the meaning to the translator's notes, then? :)

Hi! :) I was busy at work during the whole week, so I didn't have time to visit B-T. Yeah, updating the translation notes should suffice.

K, k, editing now... ^_^

I see, thanks for spending some of your free time on KnT! You're on a roll too.... (You just submitted four chapters, didn't you?!*0* Wow and thanks!)

Uhm, it turns out this expression means 'to have no brains'. So the sentence "Because this would open a woodpecker’s hole in the faces of the citizens? Of everyone?" should be translated as "Does everyone in this country has a hole in their head?" or something like that. Or maybe there's a similar idiom in english? --Dammitt 17:17, 1 August 2012 (CDT)

Hmm... Then I take it to mean that the citizens have no brains inside their skulls? (Hence a 'hole' in their heads). In that case, I would translate it as 'Does everyone in this country have empty heads?' or 'empty skulls'.

Well, yeah, Shizu is just wondering if everyone in this country is that stupid ('being unable to appreciate such a beautiful art').
