If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Free Culture.  Read the book (available for free online):

Or watch a flash presentation touching on many of the points of the book:

Uncyclopedia: wiki-based online encyclopedia of lies. Everything on it is made up.


Are they also for misspellings? (Such as "yougth" and "ussually" and "suicidical.") I'm thinking because everything is a lie, so are the spellings of some of their words, right?

A living audiobook project using project gutenburg as a model. Pick a public domain book and read it as a podcast. The selection is limited, but free, and if you cant read Joeseph Conrad while driving to work... then this might be a cool alternative.

I'm not sure if this belongs more to video games or RPGs, so I'll dump it here.

I saw that on wizards website. Shouldn't it be in the disturbing stuff thread?

Course, it does promote social interaction...kind of.

It's time to do what's needed.

Why?
If Christmas ever fails to come, the Canucks did it
The magnetic north pole is within the Canadian border. We must protect Santa Claus!

It's possible
Why go to the moon? Because it's there. Same with Canada, it's just colder than the moon.

Dude, those ad/videos are so cool.  I love it when 3rd world countries start to get a sense of their own identity and culture.

I've often worried about being broken into.

Seriously though, that's a really cool site.
