I asked a question

Karoma · 06-08-2006 10:45PM

Then use a question mark. (A question mark looks like this: ?)
Fine. I find it hilarrrrious.

InFront · 06-08-2006 10:47PM

Its brilliant! I love it. I especially like The bit about world domination, and the bit about 3rd level education is disturbingly... true:)

Eggcellent stuff

Terry · 06-08-2006 11:16PM

it looks like it was written by a 15 year old desperately attempting to be funny.

Kwekubo · 06-08-2006 11:28PM

It's a duff site on the whole TBH, too many people who think they're funny when they're not.

Yep

If done properly it would/could be funny

InFront · 06-08-2006 11:59PM

Come on people, its humour of the greatest kind! Ridiculous mad humour that makes absolutely no sense yet you cant help laughing at it

The island of Ireland is split into two parts, Northern South Africa and the Republic of Canada. Northern South Africa is part of the United States and has been since the French Revolution of 2034.

I have to admit, I LOL'd:D

BlitzKrieg · 07-08-2006 12:01AM

the bits that mix actually accurate information with something completely out the window are funny.

Such as comments on the eurovision and Eamon deVelera (jedi master).

But ones that come out of nowhere such as Yoko O'no, not so funny.

but i always thought our love for the old alcho made us more inclined to pirates rather then ninjas.

EDIT:

does anyone know what the polish version is going on about?

http://nonsensopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Irlandia

this is what babel translated the spanish one to:

Ireland was a green rock piece that the giant Mc Murdo started of England so that his cousin Mc Donnel fell to him like the ass. And they mounted its own juerga, until the Zanquilargo(O arrived Eduardo I the Mother****er) according to from the side that you are and conquered the green piece. It was not until Chuck Norris was born, when they began to send to its pérfida Albion to the children of the Great Britain... but the English took a called small piece Northern Ireland, to do the puñeta to them to the Irish. Then it was born the WRATH and the Sinn Fein; WRATH means: Army for the English porculización. Those of the WRATH began to put firecrackers to him to Tony Blair, until they left to the arms the other day. In 1923, they were allied to Iceland, like federation, to stay still on and to defend themselves of the British attacks, as well as to approach the Icelanders, but what jacas. The Irish Government was put in contact with the Icelander, to whom he proposed caramels and other pretty things, and his homologous Icelander could not reject it. The process was very simple, took one long cord and they tied it to Iceland, quite simple.

Some of it's funny some of it isn't. The drinking bit cracked me up, just because it's really not the direction I was expecting them to go.

InFront · 07-08-2006 12:35AM

The Babelfish Translator isn't great though, I tried it on a language that Im pretty OK on and it was coming up with a few odd translations and mistakes.

The article probably makes (a bit:) ) more sense that Babel is letting on

BlitzKrieg · 07-08-2006 12:36AM

oh i can understand what they were going for...its just not very funny. I think.

Tar.Aldarion · 07-08-2006 12:46AM

A lot of that site is brilliant, actually makes me laugh out loud, which is rare enough on the internet.

Ireland has been president of the Federation of Planets and Third World Nations since 1923

That page is very hit and miss.

solas · 07-08-2006 02:41AM

Sometime after that, Irish laborers were used to construct the Great Wall of China, Australia and dark matter. To this day, loud, red-haired folks who swear in Irish may be spotted from time to time in northern China, The Outback and between the gaps in quantum physics.

ye I lol'd

National anthem: "Go Harvey Go Harvey Go Harvey Norman!" (Formerly "My Lovely Horse" by Ted Crilly & Dougal McQuire)

I liked that bit

cornbb · 07-08-2006 01:16PM

haha, thought that was brilliant

GLaDOS · 07-08-2006 01:53PM

Wiki is open source and not exactly the most accurate of sites. Some fool on boards.ie posted something about a flatmate of mine on Wiki a few months back that was pure baloney! When a complaint was made, they said "Well, you can change it." It was changed by someone else who caught the error, but unfortunately, it had already spread from Wiki to other sites as if it was fact instead of fiction (and a defamation of character). Someday someone is going to go to court against Wiki, as well as one of its defaming posters, and there will be a legal fight that will cost both sides a lot of money. No matter the court decision, after a lot of money is wasted defending itself, some editorial controls will be placed on Wiki (just like Fire Fox open source programming, where you can contribute, but you cannot trash the code). Until then, I will never trust the validity or reliability of Wiki :rolleyes:

Terry · 07-08-2006 03:04PM

in which country will they be taken to court?

i could write something about someone from egypt or guatamala and i doubt very much that anyone would go to great lengths to track me down and try to sue me when they could just change the entry.

Already happened in Germany...can't remember the outcome though. Personally I think it'd be totally bad for Wikipedia to be penalized for something posted on their site. I'm sure most of us have seen that boards itself has to be very careful due to the fact that they can be held responsible for what people post.

My flatmate is Irish and the defamer is Irish, so if she were to pursue it when she got home, "no problemo" as the Governator says out here in So Cal. But I doubt she will make waves. Now if it was Blue Lagoon, waves are a part of my nature:D *

*So long as you don't make me laugh. Ever try to be mad at someone who makes you laugh at the same time?

Steveire · 07-08-2006 09:16PM

Uncyclopedia is excellent. They've got great articles on cats including the cat-toast device. See also, a really good sensible meaning to AYBABTU as a conversation involving kennedy.

Zapho · 07-08-2006 09:39PM

Yeah people go to great lenghts to keep several recurring themes going on uncyclopedia, I think its brilliant

Tha Gopher · 07-08-2006 10:06PM

Some of it is alright. Check out the RTE article

"one 2FM DJ is known to have died of oxygen deprivation after spending 7 hours laughing at his own joke live on air. "

RTE Two "Bag of ****e Irish television station set up by Ray Darcy and two puppets from the planet Zog. A showcase for Irish talent it transmits between 4p.m and 5p.m on every second Tuesday of the month. Not available in Cork due to a large electromagnetic dampning field errected by the locals, a clever attempt at avoiding the dreaded "T.V. License" fee ( aka Gerry Ryans six figure salary ) for the aforementioned carcenogenic television broadcasting "service".

Like the Canada one, with quotes about the country by well known people

"We can get married there, right?"

~ Oscar Wilde, Liberace, Elton John, etc

InFront · 08-08-2006 01:04AM

The Oprah article is quite funny:D

"My finest warrior."

~ Adolf Hitler on Oprah

arbeitsscheuer · 08-08-2006 01:08AM

Actually I thought that was quite amusing (the Ireland article, I mean).

The Oprah one is good as well. My personal fave thus far:Great Britain

Do you find this funny?(uncyclopedia crap)
