I registered this account in January of 2005, and I am willing to help if needed :-) I have two interests which would be of use here: history and languages. In fact, I sincerely wish I could know every bit of human history, and every language spoken or that has been spoken. Really can't think of more to say: so I'll quote some great thinker to say "I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: 'O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.' - And God granted it."


Any thing else that needs to be known can be found here.

A "goofy" picture of me is here.

Are you new here?; see below, and you'd might like to look at this as well. I am not an adm, so you may be able to look for one if you need help. I have designed this portion of the page to aid newcomers, along with adding some of my personal thoughts and advice. Please leave me a message if you need help immediately. Welcome!

Wikipedia is a bloated and pretentious collection of advertisements, conceits, PR blurbs, wacky politics, ephemera, base perversions, and irrelevant pop culture with frequent delusions of grandeur. Wikipedia, despite purporting to be an encyclopedia, is actually a parody of Uncyclopedia (though Wikipedia claims the reverse). It is actually a database including such things as: lists of trains, Mortal Kombat characters, one-time villains from Mario games, road intersections, boring suburban schools, garage bands, cats, dead flounders, webcomics, Bionicle characters, webforums, characters from English soap operas, Mortal Kombat characters that don't exist, and a thing they call articles. Wikipedia is a complete waste of time ruled by Dr.Phil, live from a soundstage in Hollywood California.


Wikipedia was the creation of internet 'penuer Jimbo Wales without the help of anyone, especially Larry Sanger. Mr. Wales concieved of Wikipedia after reading Herman Hesse's Magister Ludi (The Glass Bead Game) and William Golding's Lord_of_the_Flies in one single weekend. He envisioned Wikipedia as an Internet Amusement Park that would combine the best aspects of both novels. Wikipedia has encountered some difficulties with the implementation of this vision as the cannibal children keep eating the scholars.


The history of Wikipedia begins in 1865 at the height of the Civil War. Abraham Lincoln, in a stroke of genius, realized that if encyclopedias were written collectively on the internet, then encyclopedia editors would be unemployed, and he could round them up and send them off to fight the Confederacy. Unfortunately, his vision of a publicly edited encyclopedia failed, largely because neither computers nor the internet had yet been invented. However, the all-editor 53rd Light Cavalry Regiment (the "Encyclopedic 53rd") was a smashing success; its most celebrated accomplishment was routing a division of gossip columnists defending Atlanta (this was widely viewed as a vindication after an earlier failure to capture Savannah, when the Confederates distracted the regiment with poorly composed, grammatically incorrect encyclopedia articles strewn about on the battlefield).

However, the concept of a disinformation encyclopedia began with a group of Hungarian rebels, who decided that the best tool to use against the Communist government's spies and informants was misinformation. Infiltrating the offices of the Encyclopedica Hungarica, the rebels typeset a monstrous 53-volume tome (weighing almost 1300 lbs.!), which collected every piece of misinformation, lie, rumor, and mindless drivel they could fit on paper(assembling this misinformation is particularly impressive when one considers that Fox News had yet to be invented).

In the next year, the Hungarian government nearly ground to a halt due to the chaos. As a result, letters and important correspondence went astray due to inaccurate addresses printed in the encyclopedia. KGB spies attempted to round up the heads of the rebel group, but inquiries for "I.C. Weiner", "Ben Dover", and "I.P. Freeley" (listed as the leaders of the rebels by volume 23) produced nothing but puzzlement and smirks. Infuriated, the Hungarian president attempted to fly to the Kremlin to consult with the Soviet Union about the problem, only to find that his pilot had flown him to Moosejaw, Saskatchewan (which the sabotaged Encyclopedia Hungarica described as the capital of the USSR). To this day, much of the damage has yet to be undone: for instance most of the western half of the country still believes that Pi is equal to seven (which accounts for the strangely shaped wheels on the cars there).

In 1999, as a result of a five-dollar bet made over a bottle of bad tequila, this sabotaged version of the 1973 Encyclopedia Hungarica was digitized, placed online, and dubbed "Wikipedia". The term "Wiki" derives from the Hawaiian "wiki-wiki" which means "Some random guy on the Internet said it, so it must be true".

Today the Wikipedia is growing exponentially, defying any Malthusian forces. Considering that it has grown from 3 to 500 000 pages in only 4 years, it is predicted that there will be 117 billion pages in 2007; by 2010, Wikipedia will be able to answer any question ever (some of these answers may, by coincidence, actually be correct). By 2012, Wikipedia will be six and a half times more powerful than God. By 2020 Wikipedia will gain total control of existence as we know it, and will have destroyed/enslaved god by this point. The incredible popularity of Wikipedia is evident in the fact that one in 10 male children born in 2005 were named "Jimbo" (the statistic is one in six for newborn girls). Calculations suggest that at some point in 2027, the total number of servers required to store this (mis)information will exceed the mass of all the hydrogen atoms in the Universe. There is, however, no reason to worry about this. Long before this scenario comes to pass Wikipedia will collapse in on itself to form a massive black hole and then proceed to consume the entire solar system.


Alright, the above was my futile attempt to make you smile - to get something honest go to this article - or better yet here to know about us!. Want more anti-Wikipedian laughs, go to this perverted, but hilarious site, that you can find here.

How do you like these tips? Tell me:); remember there are a lot of things you can explore aside from this page !
