Uncyclopedia

Post by Martin Bishop »

I mentioned this in one of my shows recently. Since I screwed up the plug and didn't name my favourite humour website, I thought I'd share it here.

http://www.uncyclopedia.org

It's basically a comedy version of wikipedia. As anyone can edit it, the writing quality is variable, to say the least. Click on "featured content" on the sidebar for the good stuff. I recommend:

http://www.uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Civil_War
http://www.uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Turing_Duck_Test

I didn't write those, but I did write http://www.uncyclopedia.org/wiki/UnBook ... d_20%C2%BE and many more.

There is a page on Countdown. It's not completely terrible. Meanwhile, the Carol Vorderman article has been deleted ten times, for being absolute rubbish.

I can see myself wasting hours on this site. :lol:

I may regret reading this thread. Thanks Martin. You've introduced me to another website where I could well find myself buried for many hours.

Like the Andy Murray diary. :lol:

I get excited about Uncyclopedia every few months for a day, then the novelty wears off again. Today, I'm finding it very novel.

This happens rather a lot with Uncyclopedia (though at least my 'Here Be Dragons' page has been spared for the time being).

I find it bland and boring, sorry.

An amusing article Martin. I think you've displayed great wit and intellect.
