    Its funny and all but does it actually serve and practical use, then again does it actually take up too much server usage?

    I think I may have referred to it twice.. I find it rather amusing.

    Where else could you find information on East Korea?

    Its very uncouth to make your own page, someone has to make one for you.

    The problem is that you could make an Encyclopaedia full of real articles that stem from real science, but for the most part these would just be copies (hopefully not plagiarised ones) of other Encyclopaedia's, which undermined the actual participation of actual scientists initially.

    Instead it gave way to be more of an "alternative" encyclopaedia, which could be read as being insultive by the few that don't actually know what a "Sense of Humour" is. (feel free to make an entry if you think you know what one is)

    [Before I get the "but you wouldn't like it if someone mocked you..." argument, I'd rather have people make jokes than fight with each other and wage wars, alas a sense of humour is sorely missed most of the time]
