Uncyclopedia was launched on January 5, 2005 by Jonathan Huang, known online as "Chronarion",[5][6]and a pseudonymous partner called Stillwaters.[7][2]
The idea for Uncyclopedia came from the English Wikipedia's now-defunct "Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense" page,[8] where Wikipedia's editors would sideline nonsense which they perceived as humorous but unsuitable for inclusion in the main encyclopædia.[3] Jonathan Huang and co-creator "Stillwaters" decided to make a wiki with this type of content, and created Uncyclopedia on January 5, 2005.[5]
Articles
Uncyclopedia's stated goal is to "provide the world's misinformation in the least redeeming and most searingly sarcastic and humorous way possible, through satire(literature word for irony,humour and exaggeration to critisize others stupidity-ogawa added)".[5] Its articles contain information which is spoofed, fabricated or parodied to such an extent that very little factual accuracy remains. In a manner similar to Wikipedia's "Five pillars", Uncyclopedia has a core set of rules called the "Five pliers", including "Satirical point of view".[17] Despite all the policy pages that parody those of Wikipedia, Uncyclopedia has two main rules: "Be funny and not just stupid," and "Don't be a dick."[3]
The wiki has a system for reviewing articles for their humour, grammar, spelling, use of images, and overall presentation, named Pee Review to parody Wikipedia's article review service Peer Review.[18] Writers post their articles on the Pee Review project page for review by other Uncyclopedians.[19] Similarly, a reference desk exists as the "Reefer Desk" to offer review of humorous user-edited images.(the answer to the pictures u see perhaps?)
One feature of Uncyclopedia's articles is the liberal use of quotations, usually misquoted, fictitiously attributed or entirely fabricated. [20] Among the most recurrent themes is the invention of quotes that are attributed to Oscar Wilde,[21] a phenomenon which began with an article stating that inventing Wilde quotes was the “national sport ofEngland”.[3] Themes such as "kitten huffing" (the inhalation of cats as a form of drug abuse) and misadventure involving "grues" (a reference to the Zork text adventure series, in which players are repeatedly eaten by these creatures) recur frequently.
Uncyclopedia administrators are challenged by a steady flow of articles that do not meet Uncyclopedia's standards. Much like Wikipedia, Uncyclopedia has policies concerning vanity articles, which are articles written by an individual associated with the subject of the page. Originally, vanity articles were welcomed as long as they were humorous. However, many of these articles degenerated into flamewars, and creation of vanity pages was therefore disallowed.[3]
so dear class. before we run around telling everyone the horrors of this kitten huffing which is in fact a hoax, check properly. we wouldnt want REAL SICK people ACTUALLY trying this out and causing harm to the dear kitties now would we.... no no no im not being sarcastic or mean, i was jus worried that SOME STUPID people who like drugs may ACTUALLY try this out with the methods on that webpage and kill/injure an innocent cat.
besides,dun u think a real live adult cat would claw its way out of someone's mouth?
and the pictures shown, dun show the cats in any form of retaliation or anger or scared (As learnt in ACM TODAY..AHHAHAHA) so mayb they briefly jus "AAH" over the head for the snapshot to fool everyone...
and if u read the website actually the methods on how to DO this kitten huff thing..is actually quite FUNNY.
for cupped hand approach :Don't be a dick: recycle. Used kittens may be turned in to a local Kitten Recycling Center or PETA officeor turned into delicious pies. (is there such kitten recycling center... haha delicious pies?)
for plastic tube approach :Call Poison Control (this is indeed quite sarcastic,afterall ur sniffing kitten butt with gas)
for traffic cone :Obtain a plain, orange traffic cone (where to get this? on the road?)
the huffing bowl approach :Obtain a huffing bowl (for only £9.99 from your local newsagents) and give it a rinse.
tummy huff :If this is done properly, your kitten should emit a glow, frequently changing color. The glow will soon grow larger, and upon entering the glow you will feel the "deep-high pitched trance" as Andy Warhol described (using a quote,jus like the describtion of uncyclopedia) .
WARNING: USE THIS HUFFING TECHNIQUE AT YOUR OWN RISK AS OVERDOSING MAY CAUSE YOUR HEAD TO ASPLODE. (not my spelling error, and an obvious exaggeration)
ok im sure u all get my drift ya? so ACTUALLY its QUITE FUNNY the way they used SATIRE in the instructions to mock.
PEACE OUT YA'LL can get a GUD NITES REST NOW!! :]
