Uncyclopedia is like Wikipedia, only full of lies.

I'm trying to think of a good one. So don't mess it up. Bags on WWIII.

  • It's about time! The hitherto-frustrated demand for this must be enormous.
  • Nice idea, but I fear a tidal wave of incoherent facetiousness will overwhelm the good stuff.
  • That's pretty much what lucifer said when god showed her what he'd been working on the past week.
  • Her? *mind boggles* This explains so much!
  • Err, that should link to this.
  • This will be funny if it's completely wrong, but still plausible. I once heard of an idea to seed the university term papers databases with plausible but entirely eroneous essays, to catch cheaters. Essays like how World War I was caused when Hitler invaded Lithuania.
  • Heh, that's a good idea, but if someone thinks that really is how WW1 started, there are some pretty serious teaching issues going on. I'd love to be a marker when someone handed one of those in, though.
  • I thought WW1 started when Franz Ferdinand released 'Take Me Out'
  • tee hee.
  • Actually, someone I once met TAing for American students on a summer trip to Cambridge (students from Berkely, I think), received an essay from a student who thought that WWI began because Hitler invaded Poland. It made me seriously wonder whether they had gotten an eroneous essay from online purposely seeded by someone.
  • drjimmy - lovely, especially for the bits of truth. Makes me want to add Mofi, with similar teasing (if someone has to make fun of us, should be from within, right?.
  • I like the Latin entry.
