Orkut & Uncyclopedia

I chanced upon Orkut icon on my Google toolbar and out of boredom joined the community. It works like any other online friends community (MySpace etc.). The style is quite minimal and there're many fan groups to join so I consider it a plus compared to some names I've already forgottten. It's affiliated to Google and friends on your Orkut list could be automatically added to Google Talk. Nice integration (can be annoying too). All you need is a Google account to join.

And when I was browsing a cowboy bebop thread in Orkut, I saw something called 'Uncyclopedia'. It's simply... hilarious.

You try click on 'Uncyclopedia:About' on Uncyclopeida webpage, a totally rubbish irrelevant article on bicycles pops up. The irrelevancy and slapstick nature is in essence what Uncyclopedia's about. Anyway here's a Wiki explanation on Uncyclopedia.

They have a funny logo too.

Uncyclopedia, "the content-free encyclopedia that anyone can edit," is a satirical parody of Wikipedia.The site was launched in January 2005 by Jonathan Huang and an unnamed counterpart.The Uncyclopedia logo is a hollow potato named Sophia, a parody of Wikipedia's globe logo.

And here's the cowboy bebop page on Uncyclopedia.

Cowboy Bebop (ドラゴンボール Z) is an anime series that tells the story of how Spike dies.[3] Many fans enjoy watching the series, only to find out that Spike Spiegel, the main character,[4] dies. First time viewers may wonder just how he dies, and will have to watch the entire series until viewing the last episode, in which Spike dies. Otherwise, there is no hint that Spike dies,[5] except for times when he is about to die. Regardless, one should not skip to the final episode, where Spike dies, as it would spoil the rest of the story.[6]
