edit WELCOME TO THE BESTIARY OF UNCYCLOPEDIA
Yea, thou hast walk-ed into the halls of evil, the Un-Bestiary. Here, thou shalt finde the records of beastes so woeful, so devious, that thou shallt shudder at their very sight. Ye fearsome Grue will be the least of thyn troubles, as thou meetest the other creatures of yore founden in Uncyclopedia.
If thou hast come upon the lair of a creature so fearsome that it hath made thee fear for thyn life, for the love of all things goode, add the records of that same beaste to this collection of creatures! But minde ye these parameters of doom:
- Thou shalt place the creature's name alphabetically.
- Thou SHALT use proper Un-Bestiary formatting when adding thy creature. That meaneth: 'Name in Header, followed by Image, then "{{main|<Creature name>}}", Main text, [[<Creature Name>|More]]..."
- Thou shalt speake of the creature, its traits, gruesome appearance, and habits of feeding upon the flesh of humans. Thou shalt also provide a picture of beaste.
- Thou shalt add Category:UnBestiary to the creature's article before thou createst the entry on this page.
- Thou shalt NOT plagiarize articles. Paraphrase and summarize!
- Thou shalt not add a non-beast into the Un-Bestiary.

edit 500 foot Jesus
The 500-foot Jesus (also known as "Big J.C.") is an enormous machine of destruction, and a possible metaphor for some kind of religious-atomic bomb. The 500 foot Jesus is best known for his assault on the world's cities, and his duels with well-known supervillians Santa Hitler, fire breathing al gore and Robo-Hitler. As you may have guessed, the 500 foot Jesus is exactly 500 feet tall and could therefore kick just about anything's ass.
edit A
edit American Politician
The American Politician is a common household pest across most of the United States, although one turns up in Canada every once in a while. Originally created as a big "screw you" to King George III, these pesky buggers now control most of the free world.
edit B
edit Barney the Pedosaurus Rex
Not to be confused with Barney Frank, this purple monstrosity is a known predator of small children. He made his own show on TV, tricking people into thinking he is a non-violent DinoChristian. He is actually a fat purple asshole and a minion of Satan.
edit Basilica
Any one of the very large, snake-like reptiles. Basilicas can grow to enormous proportions. The most famous, and largest, basilica is St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, which is also the very first of these beasts. Other notable basilicae include Godzilla (Basilica halitosisia), Bowser (Plumberibus archnemisus), and Kraid (Basilica spacia).
edit BENSON
edit Bigfoot
Bigfoot was born to Alistair and Jenette Crandall in 1954. Early in life, his grades were poor, thus, his career killing people camping in the woods.
edit Bull Mouse
The bull mouse is popular among small-game hunters for its magnificent antlers, which can stretch up to 4 to 5 inches across. Although they may approach humans, bull mice are are to be feared: A mouse that decides someone has crossed into their "personal space" will knock down the offender and kick and stomp until the threat stops moving.
edit Bunyip
One of the earliest biological weapons in history, bunyips are deadly Australian creatures, originally suspected to be hobgoblins of the unimagination. They enjoy XXXX beverages, swimming, and infant flesh. However, careful research and wanton cruelty towards them have indicated that they are, in fact, just regular hobgoblins.
edit Burrito
El burrito (Pasteles carnei) es una bestia de carga muy pequeña que es apenas más grande que la cucaracha Mexicana, y casi dos veces tan delicioso y picante. El pequeño burrito lindo es tan asombrosamente fotogénico que ninguna cámara fotográfica en la Tierra puede hacerle justicia, así que se nos fuerza a colocar un diagrama evolutivo aburrido...
edit C
edit Cabbage
Try to fucking eat it. Just fucking try.
A Cabbage can kill you just by looking at you funny. They rip people in half all the time, and roll around in their bloody entrails. They wouldn't even think twice about tearing off your arm, and jamming it through your eyesocket so that the fingers are sticking out your mouth, and then kicking you in the nuts, which would make you BITE YOUR OWN FINGERS OFF. The purpose of the cabbage is to flip out and KILL.
edit Camouflage rubber duck
The camouflage rubber duck is a wild species of the rubber duck that roams to eat prey. Camouflage rubber ducks have been infamous for causing destruction and blasting and humping the natural habitat of regions they spread on. Humans hunt camouflage rubber duckies for their camouflage skin that can be used to make camouflage lunchboxes and camouflage coats.
edit Chocobo
Chocobos are bird-like mammals used for many recreational and theatrical purposes. They come in many colors and flavors, and do not taste like chicken, so stop asking me. Of the different colors of chocobo, none is more desired than the Gold Chocobo, whose name,like all chocobos can be spelled with or without a capital C. There are also over 20 different ways to say the plural of chocobos/chocobo/Chocobo/Chocobos/chocobbi/chocobies.
edit Chupacabra, El
El Chupacabra (also known as the chupa-thingy) is a mythical beast that lives on the island of Puerto Rico. This creature is believed to be half man and half guido. This creature known in spanish as the goat sucker has been seen spending most of its time in clubs in New Jersey.
edit Cookie Monster
The Cookie Monster (not to be confused with the raccilla) was first mentioned in Oscar Wilde's fourth book Tales from the Street. Originally created as a metaphor for all things evil, this creature soon came to represent more pleasant things such as pornography and funerals. Children are told of how the Cookie Monster will bring gifts to the good children, and kill the families of children who say he does not exist.
Recent scientific tests have proven beyond all doubt that the Cookie Monster is a real entity, although he may usually go by the alias George Foreman. The Cookie Monster is 892 years old.
The Cookie Monster has been the subject of huge media attention after displaying his abnormal eating disorders on the popular freak show program Sesame Street. His eating disorder is thought by many sociologists to have influenced a majority of Americans, which is why they are so fat.
edit D
edit Demon
A type of mouse commonly found roving the highways of Middle England with the intent of giving small children their daily allowance of chocolate. Not to be confused with a rabbit.

edit DinoJesus
DinoJesus, a.k.a. Raptor Jesus, roamed the Earth circa 90,000,000,000-65,000,000,000 BC, long before the days of Regular Jesus. He lived back in the day when God Himself was still only a teenager. God was going through kind of a rebellious phase. Rather than making beings in His own image, He populated the Earth entirely with giant lumbering reptiles. Unwilling to enter his world and change things himself, God created DinoJesus. DinoJesus's primary role on Earth was to convert the dinosaurs from the paganistic theory of Evolution, and foster a new belief in Intelligent Design. Opponents of his theory, primarily the darn Romans, viciously attacked him, condemning him and his followers to extinction.
edit Dish Monster
The Dish Monster is a creature that lives in apartments across the world. These insidious creatures consume living-mates food, and shit dishes in to the sink, pissing off everyone in the apartment. They are believed to be related to the Loch Ness Monster, as well as dinosaurs and the Chupacabra.
edit Drop Bear
Drop Bears are a fearsome mutant species of Australian marsupial that prey on unsuspecting American and Japanese tourists, but have been known to attack stupid locals who venture too far into known areas of infested forest. They drop down from trees... DUH.
edit E
edit Energizer Bunny
The bloodthirsty mascot of Wikipedia's battery company, the Energizer Bunny is a dangerous foe. And just when you think he's done killing the masses, he just keeps going and going and going and going....
edit Eurg
Eurgs are the antipode to grues. "Antipode" is a very old Latin word meaning "equally nasty little creature". Eurgs are quite the opposite of grues in every respect. Except for one. They want to eat you, too. You thought you could get off easy, didn't you? Too bad! Eurgs are about 42 feet high. There are 74 eurgs currently living in the United States.This would qualify them for "Endangered Species" but eurgs don't like environmentalists. At least without ketchup.
edit Euroipod
A Euroipod is a creature that gives itself away for free in return for
- Money
- Referring friends to do the same.
edit F
edit Fantard
The fantard is a human subspeices that is even more dangerous than grues and can easily beat a fanboy in seconds.One might not seem much,but they wilk always come at masses of 20-30, looking for the critic prey or troll invaders to attack with. And they will even ruin and suffocate the fandom they subside, by drawing the gay couple that is the most fathfoming of eyes.What is even worse is, they will attack using a way even the normal trolls will never imagine. The only savior against this ferocious creature is 4Chan and the EDiots of somewhere.
edit Feral Midgets
Fear not the Feral Midget, for although it can be a dangerous creature-- by default-- they are peaceful, only coming out of their underground chambers to gather food and offer midget sacrifices to their eight-headed midget god. Not to be confused with midges, a much more vexing and evil creature.
edit Fish Within A Fish Within A Fish Within A Fish Within Another Fish
The Fish Within A Fish Within A Fish Within A Fish Within Another Fish is --as its name suggests-- a fish within a fish within a fish within a fish within another fish. Often prone to uncaring, angry fishermen, drunken stagger, and poisonous seaweeds, the Fish Within A Fish Within A Fish Within A Fish Within Another Fish is regarded as one of the highest-quality seafoods in their world. It is also one of the most difficult foods to prepare, as the Fish Within A Fish Within A Fish Within A Fish Within Another Fish is five times the fish and therefore five times the warrior. Like Aquaman, only not so gay. Sikon is trying to hunt these to extinction.
edit Furries
The infamous fur-covered cartoon beasts also known as "funny animals"—although the jury is still out on if they're funny strange or funny ha-ha. Furries were born when a computer virus created by a corrupt Sonic the Hedgehog game mutated and begun to infect people, first altering their personalities and then their physical characteristics. The transformation continues until the victim is covered wth fur, mutated ears, a tail, and their mind is altered by the virus so several are Naked Mole Rats. They were shunned by the people who have come up with a vaccine for the Virus (Used only on two known people: Jimbo Wales and Dr. Ivo Robotnik) and then rebelled to overthrow people/neopet society. Furries are part of a vast worldwide conspiracy to dominate the world with gratuitous use of Walt Disney cartoons and subliminal messages hidden in MTV videos.

edit Future Retro
A crystal ball that uses rock guitars & old synthesizers.
edit G
edit Gamer
While ostensibly people, Gamers are not people in the traditional sense. They possess the uncanny ability to play video games with deep interest for more than five minutes, and some have super-person mental capacity (though they normally use it to store information about video games). They show no indication of having energy most of the time, but are known to receive random bursts every few years to fight in the Great Console Wars. Despite many warnings from the Surgeon General, people don't understand the strange nature of these semi-people. More...
edit Gazebo
Gazebos are very large creatures of legend, some growing as large as small houses, though the largest is by far the Emperor Gazebo, which grown to an astonishing 50 meters in height. All gazebos start their lives as shiny, perfectly round eggs planted by the mother gazebo, but soon hatch as Trellises. In this stage of life, the young Gazebo fends for itself by covering its body in a plant-like material for camouflage while feeding on a diet of puppies and kittens that wander too close to its kill zone. More...
edit Gelatinous Cube
The Gelatinous Cube is a creature that was discovered by National Geographic, consisting entirely of poisonous goo. For this reason, it needs little protection or concealment from predators. No, the Gelatinous cube does not come from Cuba (land of cubes), but rather from the mystical plane of Mordor.
edit Giant enemy crab
Giant enemy crabs are a rare species of crab found along the Japanese coast. Although they were once fairly commonly distributed along the Japanese archipelago, extensive hunting and planned attacks on spawning sites have caused the number of giant enemy crabs to severely dwindle, especially during the early 20th century. Giant enemy crabs are the largest species of crab in the world; unfortunately, they are also the most hostile and the worst tasting type of crab as well.
edit Giant enemy plant
Yet another common cyber-foe, Giant enemy plants are considered a staple enemy among many dungeons, caves or similar gloomy dark area. They appear in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, colors and attack strategies without having a noticeable weak spot. Notoriously dangerous, they attack with their sharp-toothed mouths (sometimes multiple), scythe-like arms, poisonous acids and toxic sludge.
edit Grue
The Grue (Gruesomicius ravenousi) is a horrible box-shaped beast known especially for eating people ravenously and without warning. Few, if any things can kill a Grue, and most likely you will be eaten by one. Grues can be found anywhere that's ominous, dark, and loaded with random humor. There are no ways to protect yourself from being eaten by a grue, though many have tried by pitting their own grue against another grue. The grues usually team up to eat the victim 99% of the time. Grues truly have no natural enemies except light, non square doorway's and other grues who disagree with them, much like people. Warning: Do not assume anything by the previous sentence!! Grues are not people!! They WILL eat you!!
edit H
edit House Elf
House Elves (Rowlingus Imaginarius) are short, grubby, disgusting little creatures with the likability factor of a Republican Vice-President. In the English class system they sit just below Gypsy Dogs and just above Chelsea Football Club. Due to a brain that is about as well crafted as one of those cheap Chinese water pistols you buy on market stalls, they speak very poor English (roughly as much the common household baguette) and can only just about perform simple tasks like cooking, cleaning and texting.
edit Human
Humans are a species of meat-based lifeforms which, despite there being a multitude of specimens in captivity across the universe, can only be found in their natural habitat on the planet Earth. Their primary means of attack is to fire concentrated energy beams from their palms, shoot volleys of projectiles from their fingers, or else to just pound pathetically against their foe's impenetrable hide with their forelimbs while weeping softly. Their ultimate power is insanity. No human is ever truly sane.
Their closest genetic relatives are clay and God's breath. They are known to be extremely delicious.
edit Hummingbird
Though not an animal per se, the story of the coming of the hummingbird is one worth listening to, unless you're a bloody Canadian. Invented by Canadian apricot farmers in the 1940s to explain a mysterious drought which devastated the year's harvest, hummingbirds are perhaps the biggest hoax ever perpetrated by any government, EVER. Even more than Sweden's infamous "Rubber Moose" gag, or North Dakota. If you ever see a hummingbird in the wild, immediately shoot it, as it is most likely a Canadian spy satellite or psychotic cyborg sparrow.
edit Hybrid
A hybrid is a super-sized version of a mirid (not to be confused with myriad), a variety of leaf bug. The hybrid, however, is twenty times the size of the mirid, usually has blood dripping from its mandibles, and has the devil in its eyes.
edit Hypello
The Hypello are a race of aquatic people created by General Sean Connery (and are thus known for their Scottish lisps) when he came to power in the Third Potato Wars. They live in the country of Narnia and worship the Shoopuf, a God whose job is to help them cross the river of weaselpudge. They hold great reverence toward their god.
edit J
edit Jesusaurus rex
Jesusaurus rex (jeez-us-soar-us rex) (lat. "King of the Jesus Lizards"), also known as J. rex and "The Prophet of the Dinosaurs", is one of the final forms of Jesus, and is expected to visit Earth sometime around the year 2021. Not to be confused with Raptor Jesus or Jesusaur, Jesusaurus Rex is a carnivore, and he's out with a vengeance.
edit Jimbo Wales
Jimbo, Princess of Wales, is the God-king of space and supreme deity of the universe. It's an awesome responsibility and, looking at that photo, you now feel reassured that it's in safe hands.
James Bo "Jimbo" Wales (Welsh for bastard) is a well-known huckster, con man and dictator of Wikiland, who has adopted a lifestyle of libertinage, debauchery, international travel, and Ferrari connoisseurship by standing on the shoulders of a million nerds. He is a high-ranking member of the GNAA, and frequently trolls the satirical "encyclopedia" Wikipedia as part of his official duties. He is well known for his amusing stunts.
edit K
edit Killer Africanized Giant Fighting Desert Lobster
The killer africanized giant fighting desert lobster (Scorpious pinchius) is a fearsome, unrelenting beast of the Australian Outback and Northern Sahara that tastes great with beer and melted butter. The story of the killer africanized giant fighting desert lobster began when non-killer non-africanized normal-sized peaceloving underwater lobsters were taken away from their native radioactive waters of the Sea of Japan in the early 1950's and brought to Africa in a desperate attempt to take over the bulk of the continent from the vicious machete-wielding Tutsi warriors (not to be confused with the "Tootsie warriors", the peaceful soldiers of Willie Wonka from the Choco-Lands). Immediately, the natives took a liking to the gross creature, and taught it to pinch the ass of the white man instead. The killer africanized giant fighting desert lobster's main method of killing prey is to wait until its prey (usually a tourist on safari) passes by, where upon the lobster then pounces on the victim, injecting a sugary venom that's a hell of a lot sweeter then Splenda, if that's even possible.
edit Kitten
Kittens are the most dangerous hunters ever. Avoid at all costs. They will kill you, much like Grues. However, kittens are also currently on the endangered species list, mostly because whenever you litter, masturbate, or turn on a lightbulb, God kills a kitten. Yes, God is a very sick person.
edit L
edit Laotian rock rat
The best kept secret in Asia, since your mom's photo album of her backpacking trip "accidentally" ended up on the internet. Now she's number two, which brings us neatly back to the pictures. What was I saying before? Oh, yes, the rats. Fear them or die trying.
edit Ling-Ling
A relative of the Pikachu, the Ling-Ling is an extremely rare mouse-like Pokemon. Ling-Lings are difficult to capture, but they are often seen hanging around the sets of reality shows. Their abilities are lightning-elemental, and they often secrete a valuable liquid that has been sold on the black market.
edit Lobstermoose
Lobstermooses will kill anything in their way. All three genders are equipped with large, dangerous antlers used primarily for disemboweling every living thing that crosses their path, and big, meaty claws for the chopping off of heads. Avoid at all costs.
More... =
edit M
edit Mandelbrot
Mandelbrots are huge beasts with an extremely large butt and a relatively short tail made out of lightning. They are black in color with lightning bolts surrounding their entire body. The location of the the mouth is still unknown, but it is probably located in the butt because if you zoom you can see sharp, vicious teeth lining the inner parts of the butt. In the tail of the mandelbrot one finds an identical clone of the beast, thus making this beast infinitely large.
edit Mantis Shrimp
Pure pwnage.
edit Mattress
Mattresses are curious creatures that are found in the gaseous swamps of the planet Squornshellous Zeta. Mattresses enjoy flolloping and gurlaughling. Other activities include wurfing, volluing, lurgling, vooning, and listening to classical jazz music at an extremely low volume. Dead Mattress carcasses are a very important intergalactic commodity as they are often freeze-dried and used as sleeping surfaces. Mattresses very rarely come back to life once they are thoroughly dead.
edit Mongolian Death Worm
A rare desert amphibian the Mongolian Death Worm will kill you. Anytime anywhere before you see anything it will kill you. Thought to electrocute anything wearing yellow or vermilion hats, many theories exist to explain how a creature could evolve this behavior but all researchers have been electrocuted. Many conceder the Mongolian Death Worm to be a myth and it likes it that way.
edit Moomin
Moomins (Moominus hippopotamicus), though generally considered lovable creatures, are in fact extremely lethal, and responsible for the deaths of hundreds of innocent children and goldfish. The Moomin's characteristic round appearance is caused by their lack of an anus, causing them to be bloated with shit. Don't make fun of them for this, however, if you value your life!
edit Mosques
Mosques, or Mollusks, are squidlike alien demons that rule most of the universe and are worshipped as Gods by most peoples of the world. Although most are malevolent, like their would-be leader, a few, such as Zoidberg and Ackbar are actually good guys; a shame, then, that these good guys have almost none of the phenominal cosmic powers typical of their race. If you encounter one, and it isn't the doctor or the admiral, then you better get the hell down on your hands and knees and PRAY TO IT, BITCH! If you don't, well then I cannot be held responsible for the consequences, and I will not offer my condolences to the family of a twit such as yourself.
What, you want MORE?! What the hell is wrong with you, you sick freak?
edit N
edit n00b
The n00b, also spelt newb, n00blet, noob, and occasionally nub, is an animal known (prepare for Oxymoron) for being highly skilled at being inept. The typical diet of a n00b consists entirely of balls unless the balls try to turn the tables and eat the n00bs instead, which is what usually happens. It is also physically impossible for a n00b to use the ! symbol, most likely because their short n00bish arms are unable to reach the Shift Key and the 1/! key at the same time.
edit O
edit Oedipus Rex
Oedipus Rex was the dominant predetorial species of dinosaur inhabiting the majority of southern Achean peninsula until it went extinct due to inbreeding, blindness, and reproductive practices of leaving their young on mountains to be found by shepherds.
edit Olie
The robotic villain that appears on the TV show Rolie Polie Olie. He has a younger sister, Zowie.
edit Orc
Orcs are a group of creatures, that are ugly looking. If you want to say that to their faces, though, avoid.
edit Ostrich-Ninjapirate
The ostrich-ninjapirate is the disgusting bastard child of an ostrich and a ninja-pirate forced into loveless bio-sex by a team of Finnish computer technicians on Adobe Photoshop, or sometimes Paint Shop Pro. When this evil deed of evil was first carried out in 1966, the ostrich-ninjapirate came to life and multiplied itself twenty times in a matter of minutes. The group then hijacked a spaceship and went on to invade several planets. Ostrich-ninjapirates still exist on earth in some parts of The Netherlands-- and possibly Utah, though most experts discredit this theory.
Create your own ostrich-ninjapirate!
edit P
edit Pipe Dream
- The Pipe Dream is a thing that shoots marbles at you. It gets stuck in your dreams. It was trained by the Great Sphinx, which also gets stuck in your dreams. It is a minion of the Drum Machine.
edit Piranha
They may look like harmless little goldfish thingys, but piranhas are actually evil creatures that want to eat you alive! A close relative of the common Grue, piranhas are evil fish with jaws that take up their whole body. Despite their tiny size, they are no laughing matter. They are plotting our downfall right now! Run..or Swim...do whatever you do to stop piranhas from killing/eating you!
edit Pixel
A pixel is a very tiny winged fairy whose body is constantly surrounded with a square field of colour. There are said to be 224 different colours of pixels, among them Light Goldenrod Yellow (FAFAD2) and Evil Gray (AAAAAA).
In battle, pixels are known to group into various combat formations, the most common of which is the "pointer" formation, consisting only of black (000000) or white (FFFFFF) pixels forming the shape of an arrowhead constantly pointing northwest. Pixels resist magic but take double damage from cold iron and magnets.
Though pixel populations have soared worldwide in recent decades, very few have succeeded in capturing and taming the spry creatures. Tame pixels are so highly valued that one particular individual earned one million dollars by selling a vast menagerie of pixels that he had captured as a boy, a hundred at a time.
edit Platypus
The platypus is the shit. And not in the good way, either. Like the Ostrich-ninjapirate, the platypus is too a bastard child, but unlike the Ostrich-ninjapirate, is a creation of a fucked-up God. But when the first explorers came upon the platypus, all but one of then converted to atheism, and not the peaceful kind either. The angry, contemptuous, all-Christians-are-ignorant-motherfuckers-and-God-is-a-stupid-lie-type of atheism. The reason: the platypus is proof of a flawed, imperfect God. Oh, and that one explorer who didn't convert--he killed himself. Yeah, platypussies are the shit.

edit Plushie
Originally believed to be harmless home-made sex toys for lonely old perverts, the Plushies have since been revealed to be a race of alien marauders bent on galactic domination. After leaving their home planet many eons ago, these fuzzily-disguised extraterrestrial rat-bastards have rampaged throughout the Milky Way, raping, pillaging, eating, and in some cases fluffing entire planets. As if that wasn't bad enough, they spend a great deal of time hanging out around Wal-Marts.
edit Printer
Printers are domesticated cybernetic organisms. They come in many varieties, from Olde Worlde to Laser Jet, and while only some of these varieties can properly digest electricity, they all share an appetite for paper. Ironically, paper contains very little nutrients which the printer can extract, and usually the paper is excreted by the printer in an almost unchanged state.
They are known to have the most complicated urinary system in all of creation, with which they excrete ink in highly complicated patterns and sequences. With the aid of a computer, the printer's owner can train their printer to excrete ink in various patterns desired by its owner. The most famous of these printer trainers was H. P. Lovecraft.
edit Pug Vader
"I WHEEZE am your SNORT father PANT!"
It is well known that Anakin trained several toy dogs in the art of the Sith, since they are already cute and appear to pose no threat they could sneak into an enemy base and annihilate everyone. However, only one apprentice was worthy enough to be Pug Vader. He was dipped in lava, given his own suit, and a space doghouse like a mini-deathstar. The terror of the Rebel's dogs, he was killed by Obi-Wan Kaninebi.
edit Q
edit Qwerty
Qwerties are a species of small, fuzzy birds. There are nearly none left, as they have been hunted to near extinction by such alien predators as the Dvorak and AZERTY, and it is predicted that by the year 2015, there will be NO qwerties left at all. Though most qwerties are now kept as pets in people's homes, where they can be stroked gently by their human owners over and over again, their wild ancestors engaged in the hunting of the "mouse", a rarely-filmed mating ritual.
edit R
edit Raving Rabbids
Raving Rabbids are only one of the most deadly small mammals known to man. These freaks of nature are like mutated versions of normal rabbits. These creatures, like rabbits, have huge teeth and long ears. What makes these creatures different is their lack of noses and necks, and their huge blue eyes that turn red when they get crazy. Rabbids first spawned their evil in the game Rayman: Raving Rabbids. Rayman, their nemesis, now lives as a Basement-dweller due to the fact that the Rabbids have become more popular than him. The Rabbids have invaded more video games and now have their own series of video games, thus increasing the likelihood of them bringing the world to insanity.
edit Rock
Rocks were first domesticated around the Stone Age, where they were trained to do tideous mind-numbing tasks like breaking other rocks to make rocks for breaking other rocks. Rocks are tough. Granite is pretty tough. I knew a granite once....I dated a talc once, as well. Didn't work out, she was too soft for my taste. I like my women TOOUUGH!!, like granite. But that's beside the point...Rocks are cool. Everybody likes gems, but you know what, rocks are awesome.
edit S
edit Sascrotch
A creature much like the Sasquatch. It is a hairy, monkeyish thing that lives in the woods and rapes/eats campers. As its name suggests, it has a large ball sack that hangs all the way to the ground and it actually has to drag it around as it walks.
edit Scarecrow
Scarecrows are an indigenous race of people who are made of potato sacks and are filled with hay. Once living peacefully, they were captured by the humans and brought into the American Slavery Corporation. Many scarecrows were nailed to wooden poles to scare away crows, even though the crows were too smart to believe that stupid joke. Despite those years of abuse, the scarecrows quickly adapted to their new environment and their numbers thrived. Scarecrows began slaughtering massive numbers of rednecks who wandered into sunflower fields at night. But they can be easily detered because they have no brains and are therefore stupid.
edit Smartass
Smartasses are a type of donkey (or "ass" if you're British) with an IQ higher than the average ass. Though they are now free to crack wise about all our mommas, smartasses were once kept solely for slave labor up until the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, that fancy document that rhymes. But they were still denied the same rights as non-smartasses. However, in the 1960s, smartasses began a civil rights movement which took America by storm, guaranteeing them a place among humans. That's not to say that there aren't people who want that to stop. I mean, no one likes a smartass. Every political party since the 1960s has desperately been trying to return smartasses to their former status, though the Democrats are hesitant because their mascot is a smartass, as are many Democrats themselves.
edit Snuffleupagus
The Snuffleupagus is a shaggy elephantine Muppet which lacks ears and tusks, an evolutionary trait employed to escape the interest of ivory dealers, the elephant's main predator. They are known to befriend birds of similar height to their own. Such birds are thought to be responsible for grooming the Snuffleupagi's fur and devouring the juicy ticks that dwell within.
edit Space Chicken
Space Chickens are known to be lazy, however, legends say that JKR, it's lazy creator blames everything at the Chickun because the Mad Toon Monkey Thing Show is allways late. "Space Chickens come from outer space" at least so Captain Ovelia claims after interviewing JKR. Space Chickens are claimed to be naive, crazy things made out of rubber and acid plastic green goo filled with a playdoron substance created by the collision of minerals and electricity therefore giving the substance the ability to form into a flexible shape. God, I'm hungry. And thirsty. Maybe I should go... Eat some water... Man d00d hyppi had some gud inspiration!
Google will pwn y00! Bahvawahaka!
edit Something Under Your Bed
Science has uncovered the existence of something hiding under your bed. We don't know what it is, but there is definitely something under your bed. We also know that it's big, ugly, and wants to eat your head. Hell, there could be a whole bunch of somethings under your bed...watching you...right now.
We now have technology that may just be able to get something out of your bed. But right now, we're using it for more important things, like ending Global Warming, finding a cure for diarrhea, stopping wars, getting whales off the endangered list, and trying to discover food that is both healthy and delicious at the same time. You're on your own here.
More? Just look under your bed...
edit Sugarglider
The sugarglider, sometimes called the Flying Death, is a ferocious, evil, gliding possum native to Earth and Australia and currently competes with the bunny as the most ferocious animal on Earth. The sugarglider is extremely dangerous, and like the Xenomorph, will attack humans with no provocation in their attempt to control the galaxy. Organizing themselves into huge armies, sugarglider generals direct their minions into war, attacking and killing humans in a matter of seconds.

94 loyale over heating at 60 mph

It is probably worth your time to drain the radiator and remove it; it really isn't that difficult. Look through the coils to make sure they are clean; if not, spray them down with some simple green and blast the coils with the hose. Again, if the fins disintegrate because they are rusted, then the radiator needs to be replaced. SOME fin rot is acceptable, but you need the fins to dissipate the heat out into the passing air.
There is a good chance that your thermostat is the root of your problem, even though it is new. Could there be something flushed loose stuck on the thermostat, or did you replace it after flushing the engine? Even the new thermostat could be bad, honestly. I have heard recommendations to use nothing but OEM Subaru thermostats.. alot of people do use Stant brand, but supposedly the Subaru is far superior to that one, which seems better than most other aftermarket brands. If you have one of another make, try taking it out and see if you still overheat. I run without a thermostat, but I live in south Florida and the car never sees temperatures below 60 degrees. I do not recommend running without a thermostat long term for many reasons; but I personally ignore my own advice. Short term, it will cause no real problems.
Check all of your hoses, and make sure none of them are collapsing at speed for any reason...
Another possibility is a bad water pump. If you still overheat, then you might as well do the water pump, and unless the timing belts are less than 40K miles old, replace them too.
There is also the remote possibility of bad headgkasets, but overheating and bad headgaskets go hand in hand in these cars. If you havent seen the red, you stand pretty good odds with your head gaskets.. unless the problem persists with a known good radiator, water pump, hoses, thermostat, etc. I won't even get into any of the HG stuff because it is probably something simpler.

i didnt realize when i bought the car that it would only do 75 at most and end up over heating.
Your timing may be drastically off. 75 should not be the top speed. They aren't fast cars by any stretch of the imagination, but my 86 carbed EA82 can do well over 100..... your's should be faster as it's got 6 more HP stock.
Make sure the timing is properly set at 20 degrees BTDC. If it is, you may consider checking to see if the timing belt drive sprockets on the crank got mixed up - there's an inner and and outer. The inner one has a groove for the front crank seal. If they are reversed the engine will still run but will be down on power and may overheat.
Likely the overheating is a result of Florida temps and an old radiator. It's best to replace them as they are cheap and don't do well with any amount of corrosion.
Posted 05 June 2007 - 09:06 AM
i got a 94 loyale thats over heating at 60 mph. i have flushed the radiator and checked the thermostat and its still good. the fans are running so they are good. changed the oil and pump is also good.
How do you know the pump is good? Has it been replaced? Just cause it's not leaking does not mean it is fine. If the car has been run with just water in it then the impeller fins may have rusted away, although if this was the case it would get hot at other times as well. Also how did you test the T-stat. They can appear to open fine but in actuallity not work well enough to hold a temp in these engines. Replace it. With a Subaru one. It's worth the few dollars for peace of mind.
I agree with GD as well that you should be able to get more than 75, but my Carbed subarus never made 100. Still I think you're timing may be off. Check it or have it checked and set to 20 degrees btdc. The marks are under a small rubber cover on the back of the motor and the timning shoulod be set with the Green test connectors near strut top connected. The two outer timing belt covers should be removed and the belts verified as well. Probably first before ignition timing.

but my Carbed subarus never made 100.
Gots me a Weber..... 2WD vs. 4WD makes a big difference too. My 2WD EA81 with a Weber would do 110 before it reached equilibrium with the wind. I can easily hit 100 with my EA82 5 speed 4WD. Perhaps it's the Weber helping, or perhaps it's just a good engine.... couldn't get out of it's own way with a running start on the Hitachi I got it with

However, if the engine refuses to pull beyond that point, it sounds VERY likely that you've got a timing belt that has skipped a tooth. This engine should rev freely and happily all the way to 6000 RPM and more, with power, in gear.
What transmission/driveline do you have, btw?
Posted 06 June 2007 - 10:06 AM
my ignition timing is set at 20 btdc so i know thats not it. i will check the timing belts this weekend. the person i bought the car from said they just did the water pump. i will also pull of the radiator and check it too. as far as doing 75, i get to 65 and im already doin 3000 rpm. how high can i run it with no damage.
Is that 20 degrees with the Green test connectors connected(disconnect them when done)They are behind the drivers strut tower, under the hood. Redline is 6500 but subaru does say not to rev over 4000 for "extended periods" so I wouldn't just cruise at 5000 rpms. BUT
You can rev these to 4000-4500 rpm all day long. Which should equate to about 80-85. I got a ticket for 84 in a 70 once in North Dakota, In an 86 Carbed so I know they can get up there.
Since the T belts were most likely removeed during the Water pump replacement , I think It's very likely that either the crank pulleys got switched or one or both belts is off a tooth.

*looks around*
Huh? I don't know what youre talking about.
my little brother put it best, I think, when he said it plainly. "It's a Japanese engine. It loves bangin' off the rev limiter!" He was talking about something else, but they all seem to like it if you ask me
Posted 06 June 2007 - 02:27 PM
65 at 3000 equals 130 at 6000... how'd u get that? im doin 3000 in 5th gear.
Posted 06 June 2007 - 02:46 PM
im kinda putting the timing belts off as a last result kinda thing cuz i have to take everything off and discharge the air conditioning. so any thing else i should check before that, that isnt already listed?
65 at 3000 equals 130 at 6000... how'd u get that? im doin 3000 in 5th gear.
Theres no need to dischage the AC to do the belts. Infact, at least the allingment of the belts can be verified by removing only the end covers on both sides. This will give you a vew of the pulleys and there marking(they should be 45 Degrees and opposite each other w/flywheel at TDC. Or straight up and down opposite w/flywheel on center of 3 disty allingment marks), and the crank marks are on the Flywheel. Even to change the belts you can just unbolt the AC bracket, disconnect the wires to it but leavthe lines attached, and just fold it back out of the way into the spare tire area. the radiator doesn't even needto come out, but it helps. The A/C condensor in front of the radiator is not in the way at all.
Keep in mind these cars are fairly slow by todays standards, even when running well. Espescially when mated to the 2wd. Eliminate all the other possible causes of overheating, and perhaps you'll find with a tune up and some RPMs she'll get moving fast enough for ya. But you should at least check the alingment of the belts.
Posted 06 June 2007 - 05:57 PM
65 at 3000 equals 130 at 6000... how'd u get that? im doin 3000 in 5th gear.
Arbitrary numbers, and just doubling.. if at 3K RPM you can do fifty mph, then at 6K RPM you will do 100. The speedo in my datsun didn't work, and for four years I monitored my speed based on one "calibration run" (confirmed by other vehicles, but the first shot gave me my baseline.) At 2000 RPM in fifth gear, I was doing 50 MPH.. so it was 25MPH for each 1000 RPM. 4K=100mph, etc.. Based on this math I figured out speeds in second, third, and fourth gear as well, eventually.. (enough time behind the wheel with no stereo to distract me leads me inexplicably to finding and solving mental math problems. dont ask, i dont know)

Posted 06 June 2007 - 08:41 PM
To check them, remove the outer covers at both ends of the motor. Remove the spare tire and pull the rubber cap out of the back of teh motor to view the flywheel. Use a 22mm socket to turn the crankshaft until you see 3 small lines(not the numbered timing lines, seperate from those about 90 deg. past them) on the flywheel and line up the center of the 3 with the pointer. If the belts are correct the marks (small dot) on the Belt pulleys will be pointing straight up, and straight down(one each, the cam pulleys marks should always be excactly opposite eachother)
Alternately you can set the flywheel to Zero TDC on the numbered lines, and the Cam pulley marks should be at a 45 degree angle, but still excactly opposite of eachother.
There is a slight difference between the 2 sprockets that drive each belt from the crankshaft. If they are installed wrong it can cause at least a los of power. Here is a very lenghty thread about that. http://www.ultimates...cket real truth
Disregard BDGs posts. Go by WJMs info. If you find that the belts are close but off by just a couple degrees you will want to remove the covers and reset them. Check that the pulleys are correct at that point before reassembly.
Posted 06 June 2007 - 09:21 PM
Posted 06 June 2007 - 09:29 PM
is there anyway to put the pully on wrong. like turn the pully and then bolt on or what? she said when they replaced them that they lined them up and the car didnt run. they had someone come over and fix it and the lines didnt match... if u really cant mess it up as far as installing pullies wrong then i hope i can match them up.
They may have been trying to line up the Cam Pulley dots both straight up. Or lining them straight up and down when the crank is at Zero instead of to the 3 little lines.
One straight up, one straight down= crank at center of 3 lines
One 45 up and out, one at 45 down and out = Crank at Zero TDC.
If the belts are correct both of these statements will be true.
The 2 crank sprockets can get reversed, but it will still run like that. But the Cam pulleys only go on one way because of the locator dowels between the 3 bolts. I'll bet your belts are just 1 or 2 teeth off.
Posted 07 June 2007 - 02:17 AM
Keep in mind these cars are fairly slow by todays standards, even when running well. Espescially when mated to the 2wd.
That's just not true. The 2WD's are actually quite a bit faster on the top end. It has to do with the gearing and weight mostly. The 4WD's *feel* faster off the line, but that's largely an effect of the lower gearing in the diff's.
As far as RPM's go, the redline of the EA82 carb engine is 6,000 RPM, and Subaru's reccomendation of "no more than 4,000" for extended periods is just their usual line of over-cautiousness that was typical of their 80's models. The EA81 and EA82 share essentially the same block with the EA82's being built slightly beefier in the main bearings and ring lands. Despite this, the experimental aircraft community routinely run the EA81 blocks at around 7,000 to 7,500 RPM continuously for many hours on end. The rods are very short and thick due to the nature of the boxer design, and some have estimated their burst speed at something north of 11,000 RPM. Indeed the ring lands, pistons, head gaskets, and heads all have many times higher failure rates. Typically those failures are a result of pushing the turbo EA82's too far with added boost and/or added compression. Rod failures aren't all that common and are always a result of badly worn bearings. I've been in the mud and reved out to 6 or 7 thousand over and over while trying to free myself - never has it resulted in a catostrophic failure. Indeed I had a rod blow on my first off-road engine doing 65 MPH on the freeway due to lack of proper oil pressure from a worn out pump. Had nothing to do with RPM's.
Basically your timing is probably hosed, and you are being too cautious with the revs. Set the timing straight and go from there.
Posted 07 June 2007 - 10:21 AM
Keep in mind these cars are fairly slow by todays standards, even when running well. Espescially when mated to the 2wd.
As far as the 2wd comment, I meant to say when mated to the 3spd automatic. Which in this case was the 2wd car he mentioned. 2wd 5spds are quicker for sure. The 3at is a dog. It was late and my brain was not working.
That's just not true.
With 90 HP, EA82 cars ARE slow by todays standards. C'mon, we all know it. Espescially in there bone stock versions, with all there emmisions stuff and no weber. There not as bad as say, a volkswagon Bus or a Yugo. But they are not nearly as powerful as newer cars. It's sad to say, but I used to get beat by minivans and Corrollas all the time. I could take them till about 25-30 mph, but after that, the free breathing, 21st century engines are faster. Espescially at highway speeds. The EA82 will get up to 85-90 mph, but it tkaes a while and hills will bog it down.
I was only trying to tell the OP not to expect this car to be the fastest on the freeway.

i pulled the right hand side timing cover off and the mark on the camshaft sprocket is straight down. its not pointing up at the other mark. could she have got the left and right side sprockets mixed up?
The left and right pulleys are the same and interchagable. The dots can either be straight up or straight down. Bacause the crank turns twice for every one turn of the Cams. The 2 cam pulleys should always be opposite eachother, one straight up, and one straight down. That's when the crank is on the 3 little lines anyway. When the Crank is at 0 degrees TDC the marks shuold be at 45% Slanted out, but still opposite to the other one. Do you have the crank lined up at 0 TDC or at the 3 little marks?
Rotate the motor another full turn. The dot should now be straight up.
But both sides should be excactly opposite each other always.
Posted 07 June 2007 - 01:45 PM
Posted 07 June 2007 - 01:46 PM
i have it at the 3 marks. i havent pulled the other side off to see if they are opposite. i will post back in a bit when i get the other side off.
Just a tip, the left side cover has one bolt with a nut on the back. It's the lowest, closest to middle of engine one. You'll need to put a 10mm wrench on the back or it will spin

Johnny Damon hit a two-run home run as the Cleveland Indians took a 6-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals in the opener of a three-game set at Busch Stadium.
Josh Tomlin (3-3) gave up just two runs on eight hits with a walk over seven innings while Jason Kipnis and Michael Brantley each had two hits, an RBI and a run scored for the Indians, who have won three of four.
"I didn't need to prove anything, but I just wanted to come out and pitch as well as I could for as long as I could," said Tomlin. "I think I needed that tonight, it was huge for me."
Yadier Molina went 3-for-4 with a run scored while Matt Adams hit a two-run single for the Cardinals, who have dropped seven of their last 10. Jake Westbrook (4-6) was charged with four runs -- three earned -- on eight hits with a walk and seven strikeouts in six innings.
"When you don't perform as well as you think you're capable of it's frsutrating," said Westbrook. "I need to make some adjustments here and get back on track."
Cleveland got on the board in the first inning. With one out, Asdrubal Cabrera and Kipnis hit consecutive singles and Carlos Santana followed with a run- scoring double. Brantley then hit into a groundout that scored Kipnis for a 2-0 lead.
A Casey Kotchman groundout in the fourth plated Santana and Kipnis hit an RBI single in the fifth for a 4-0 advantage.
In the seventh, Brantley singled with two outs and Damon followed with his second homer of the season, a shot to right, for a 6-0 lead.
St. Louis had men on base in each of the first four innings, but Tomlin was able to escape damage and set down the side in the fifth and sixth.
He got into trouble in the seventh when Adams had a pinch-hit, two-run single with one out in the frame, but Tomlin retired the next two batters.
Joe Smith worked a scoreless eighth and Nick Hagadone did the same in the ninth to cap the win.
Game Notes
The last time these teams met was in 2009 when Cleveland took two of three at home...Both teams left eight men on base, but Cleveland batted 3-for-13 with runners in scoring position while St. Louis was just 1-for-7...Westbrook is 0-4 in his last six starts.

Ok…this is a non-update update, follow-up to the 1×10 conversion.
I've been playing with bike position, and had a pile of stems laying around. On the Mariachi, the move to a shorter stem was very positive. On the Superfish, I was very happy with the 100mm stem length and angle.
But you see, I had this unused, beautiful Bontrager XXX stem sitting on the shelf.
Stock aluminum stem is an obscenely obese 152 grams.
Bontrager stem is 120 grams.
30 grams, or .06 pounds. If you were buying one at a dealer, roughly $10/gram.
I like my light bikes…but the economics of being a true weight-weenie just don't fully make sense to me. I could not endorse $10/gram weight savings. I'm not sure where that cost/weight ratio becomes palatable, but $10/gram isn't it.
Anyhow, I had the stem, it was the right size, it's recommended for XC Mountain Bike use and it looks fantastic, so on it went.
Whew. 0.06 pounds lighter. I can have a couple extra tic-tacs, now.

In an effort to get up to speed, I have read quite a bit from the web site W3Schools.com and I purchased the E-book JavaScrip for Web Developers by Nicholas C. Zakas, where I basically found myself inundated by minutia. And, of course, the text did not address my very simple, basic, rudimentary questions. Just as robots have not yet completely replaced humans, a text book has not replaced the benefits of communicating directly with a knowledgeable human. So, below are my very basic questions (this all appeared nicely formated in MS WORD):
"Form parameters (sent to the server) take the names of their corresponding form objects.
For example, if your form contains a check box named "checkbox", then the following form parameter is sent to the server when the user clicks the Submit button:"
checkbox=<its status (value?--- True/False in this case?)>
Given the above statement copied from a web site, the following is how I expected the situation to work. (This example probably shows how I have completely misunderstood the above quote.)
Part of HTML file for web site's HTML page 1. |<-- This might be a mistake in understanding | Maybe should just be NULL ""<form name="form1" method="post" action="ProcessData.asp">
<input id = "TestBox" type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="checkbox">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
(OK - When SUBMIT button is clicked, URL page 1 disappears, and ProcessData.asp becomes the current page, and a "form parameter is sent to the server".)
1. But how do I access the value of this "form parameter" from a new page server-side ProcessData.asp?
2. Just what does "sent to the server" mean?
3. What is the difference between "<%" and "<Script>"?
Accorging to the literature, ASP scripts are surrounded by <% and %>.
4. I am coming to the conclusion that "Request" and "Response" are strictly VB, whereas
"document.getElementById('What')" is strictly Java Script, and that both only work on the
current page.
This is the ASP file ProcessData.asp that I want to handle the status of "TestBox".<%@LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script> <-- (in other testing) This [U][/U][B]seems[/B] to do the job of "<%" -->
var TestBoxStatus = [COLOR="#FF0000"]<what code goes here??? Is this even possible after page change?>;[/COLOR] if(TestBoxStatus….)

CAROL STREAM (AP) -- Gov. Pat Quinn isn't giving any hints about what he'll do with a gambling bill that Illinois lawmakers sent to his desk.
Tuesday is the deadline for Quinn to take action on legislation that would establish five new casinos in the state, including one in Chicago. It would also allow slot machines at horse racing tracks.
At an unrelated event in suburban Chicago on Monday, Quinn said he spent the weekend reading the bill and he'll announce his decision Tuesday. He declined to say if he'd arrived at a decision.
Quinn gets 60 days from when lawmakers approve legislation to decide to sign, veto or propose changes.
Previously, Quinn has said he won't likely sign the bill as it is and says his biggest concern about it is ethics.

Microsoft is accusing rival IBM of orchestrating a campaign to block efforts to standardize Office document formats. In an open letter released Wednesday, Microsoft executives contend that IBM is trying to influence the standards process to limit choice. It also said that IBM is encouraging governments to mandate a document format that IBM favors. Pot, kettle, something.

Difference between revisions of "Benton Harbor-Saint Joseph"
Revision as of 16:18, 18 February 2013
Benton Harbor and Saint Joseph [1] ("Benton Harbor-Saint Joe" for short) are two nearby towns in the Lake Michigan Beachtowns region of Michigan.
Get in
St. Joseph has an Amtrak train station on the Pere Marquette route between Grand Rapids and Chicago.
By car, they can be reached from US-31/I-196 or I-94.
St. Joseph is about an hour and 45 minutes drive from Chicago.
Get around
Benton Harbor-St. Joseph is very easy to get around by car. Though be cautious of downtown St. Joseph's one-way streets.
Things to see in St. Joseph:
A Venetian Festival was held every July, but was shut down in 2011.
Stay safe
Use extreme caution traveling in the economically depressed areas of Benton Harbor. The area has a history of violent crime, and has experienced an increase in evening crimes. If you get into trouble, the local emergency number is the same as the nation-wide one (911).
While walking down the rather thin pier (south of the pier containing the 2 lighthouses), be vigilant of your step as the surface of the pier can be icy, wet and uneven due to both crevaces in the cement or bumps. One has to be extremely careful, especially watching kids, near the edges of the pier as some portions have no guard rails. It's best to hold little ones' hands and stay on the center, more elevated part of the pier when walking, which is further away from the unguarded edges. Huge gusts of wind and large waves wash upon the pier: at the very least you and your camera get soaked; at worst, the unsuspecting person too close to the edge could get blown right into the deep, frigid waters of Lake Michigan. Tall, tall waves smashing atop the pier, getting people wet even when they were on the highest part of the pier can be seen at times. The choppy waves and their turbulent crashing can make for an interesting sight, but must be handled carefully.

Natural Gas Smell Reported Across Southtowns | News
EAST AURORA, NY - The Erie County Sheriff Department started receiving reports just before noon Friday of an odor of natural gas from Elma, Orchard Park and Hamburg.
National Fuel says that workers Friday morning were adding an odorant to the gas line at the Porterville compressor station on Hemstreet Road in East Aurora which may be responsible the smell.
According to respondents on the WGRZ-2 On Your Side Facebook page, a strong odor of natural gas could be smelled as far away as Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park and the Walmart store in Hamburg.
National Fuel issued this statement:
"National Fuel is advising residents in East Aurora, Orchard Park, Hamburg, and Elma that work completed earlier today at an National Fuel service station in East Aurora released an odorant, similar to the smell of rotten eggs, and there is not a natural gas emergency. After extensive investigation, it was determined that there are no gas leaks but the prominent smell does remains in the area and due to prevailing winds, the smell has carried for miles from the original location.
"For customer protection, National Fuel adds an odorant to give natural gas a distinctive smell so leaks can be more readily detected. Residents can be assured that there is not a natural gas situation in their neighborhood.
"For area residents concerned about a legitimate gas leak, please contact National Fuel's emergency hotline at 1-800-444-3130.
"National Fuel Gas Distribution Corporation is a regulated utility and is one of the subsidiaries in the National Fuel Gas Company system. The utility provides natural gas service to approximately 725,000 customers in western New York and northwestern Pennsylvania."

Roy Hodgson believes that veteran Italy midfielder Andrea Pirlo could pose the biggest threat when England begin their World Cup campaign in Brazil against the Azzurri.
The England boss remembers Pirlo during his time as a coach in Italy and thinks the Juventus playmaker still has plenty of quality at the age of 34.
When asked by Italian TV station Mediaset if he feared AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli, Hodgson said: "Do we fear him (Balotelli)? I know him because he played in England (at Manchester City).
"We have respect for everyone but if I have to give a name, I say Pirlo.
"In the last 10 years, he has made Italy play.
"I had him three months at Inter and he has had an incredible career."
Pirlo played for the Italian team that won the World Cup in 2006 in Germany and has been a linchpin for Italy coach Cesare Prandelli.
England take on Italy in their Group D opener in the Amazon city of Manaus on June 14.
The Azzurri, three-time World Cup winners, went undefeated to reach the top tournament in Brazil but Hodgson expects his team to be ready.
"Italy is very strong," he said. "Prandelli has done a great job in the last four years and I believe the (Italian) team has grown during this time.
"But is England defeated before we start (World Cup)? Perhaps that's how people in Italy see us but the game has to be played and then we shall see.
"I never think of being defeated before a game, I always think of winning."
Hodgson says no side will have an advantage regarding the hot and humid conditions that await them in the Amazon.
"We will do like any other team that will play in Manaus, which has a special climate," the 66-year-old said. "We are doing everything possible to prepare the players in order to deal with these conditions.
"It's not the best situation for us but neither (is it ideal) for Italy.
"I don't think right now this even represents an advantage for any South American side."

The Williams College of Business helps students launch a monthly e-newsletter about finance, economics and politics
The first issue of the Xavier Bellwether is available online | April 18, 2012
Sponsored by Xavier's Fifth Third Trading Center, nine students have produced The Xavier Bellwether, an e-publication that provides interdisciplinary analysis of finances, economics and politics. As stated in its mission statement, this student-run publication provides an opportunity for students to enhance their understanding of the global marketplace through active research and participation.
"Our intention with this statement is to convey the fact that we are a multi-sided operation," said Ricky Garcia, a junior Philosophy, Politics and the Public major and editor-in-chief of The Xavier Bellwether. "Not only do we provide a publication that presents original interdisciplinary analyses, but we also provide a variety of opportunities for students to get involved and pursue their own expertise while also putting their education into practice."
The staff includes students majoring in finance, English, economics and education. Garcia hopes to add more contributors as the scope of the 15-page publication expands.
"As we grow further, we eventually plan on working within individual teams that write about their own expertise and then congregate with the larger group as we coordinate the publication of that upcoming issue," Garcia said.
The Fifth Third Trading Center manages the trading room in the Williams College of Business' new location in Schmidt Hall. It is the largest Bloomberg trading room among universities in the country. Bloomberg is a news, economic and analytic platform with real-time and historic market data and information used by the finance profession.
In addition, the Fifth Third Trading Center supports the Xavier Student Bond Investment Fund and the D'Artagnan Capital Fund. Each fund is managed by Xavier students.
The first issue of The Xavier Bellwether is available online. The next installment is expected to be posted during the week of April 22-28.
