Straight out of Viz Comic: Flard is a brand of flavored lard which is marketed by the Nexplode Corporation. Using cutting edge focus group methods, the Flard advertising campaign is much more of notice than the product itself, being simply lard which is flavored. The use of "extreme graphics" to appeal to a young, "hip" audience has been the hallmark of the Flard campaign.
First premiered in 1999 in select areas of L.A. and Brooklyn NY, the Flard campaign has mostly targeted groups of young people who seem to consider themselves part of a counter culture. Seen by many as the child of the "OK Soda" campaign, Flard has enjoyed moderate success as a product. Frank Borap, creator of the advertising strategy, has called Flard's accomplishment "a stunning confirmation that people will buy anything if the package looks edgy."
For example, here are the five original Flard labels:

My sandbox, my pulpit - you may try to be handy and launch a destination awry.
Think of this as of the trial to be offended... Because of the ineluctable modality of the visible... You may die and you may be reborn... A transmigration of souls, for all I care
Don't touch this, 'cause it's sacred.

from Matt hardman[edit]
Full name; Matthew Alistar Montgumery Damian Etherstoofle Comdooble Hardman III
The Early Years[edit]
Matthew sort of ebbed into existence through a small time portal that has subsequently been swallowed by a hippopotamus in a trampolining accident. Matt came thorough on the 6th May 1989. The portal the subsequently spewed a few other curious looking organisms, that have since spread al over the planet, they are know as christians, they are quaint and simple folk, not much bothered by the complicated world. After his birth Matthew started a career as a child prodigy, not specialsing in any particular area, though it soon became apparent that he had a certain apptitude for judging which melon would fit best on which head. He then moved in to the realms of other fruit, such as mango and Cowboys.
The Not-so Early Years[edit]
There was a period in the 16th Century when Matthew became embroiled in the onraging war between the Quadnarihathian Tribal Monsters of Alpha Gamma 06 and some bugs that got stuck to his shoe. A battlefleet was sent to destroy him, but after passing through a wormhole complications were encountered in which they enered a popular london fashion party celebrating the release of a new line of clothing. Though due to scale issues where then subsequently snorted by some-one who thought that they were takin cocaine but it was actually chalk dust. Matt then again became a child prodigy, though this time specializing in a different area, after a couple of years spent in an orphanage, matthew came across some magic shoes, which gave him phenomenal basketball ability, he then went on to become a proffesional NBA basketball player. He averaged 1 point a game for a period, where for eighty nine games he would score no points, and then on the ninetyeth game he would score ninety points, unfortunately his career was only eighty nine games long and he was released with zero points. His escapade in the NBA was the inspiration for the film "Like Mike" made in 2002, although the movie differs much from the true story, it does still have clear parralells.
The Political Years[edit]
For a brief period of time stretching from a while ago to now, as he is still in office, Matthew became presidential priministerial imperial monarch of a small self made principality of his bedroom, though the country is small with a population of 27,000 loyal subjects, it is not the smallest country. His party The Ministry of Mysterious Men with Magical Moustaches has past many controversial laws regarding facial hair, including a law regarding a class structure based on moustache size. This led to a severe uprising in the most southerly provinces of the principality. A large army of over 1 man gathered and marched the seven thousand miles to Matthews palace, where they demanded the recatogorization of handlebar moustaches in ochre brown, Matthew declined there request and subsequently a war was waged for a thousand years, explaining its name, the two hundred year war.
Current Party; The Ministry of Mysterious Men with Magical Moustaches[edit]
The Ministry of Mysterious Men with Magical Moustaches has had many different representatives in its history, in quite a few different countries, these include such figures as Stalin, who opted for the natural moustache, with slight tapering toward the end, Hitler, who controversially went for the toothbrush, though his advisors informed him it appeared like he had incredible nose hair, and various others. They stand for a society where people should not have to put up with the Indecency of a naked upper lip. This has been very controversial, especially among some woman who do not naturally feature lip hair.
Previous Party's[edit]
Matts super happy fun magical googoo whacko majigger powabblo party[edit]
Matthew started this party to win a bet, but really the joke was on him as the party cost more to set up than he won from the bet, and also the man he bet with never paid him as Matthew made the deal behind a small Railway Modelling Festival whilst in a drunken Stupor. The party had no major campaign or political motives (which is generally uncommon for a political party) but this seemed to appeal to voters as he went on to be Priminister of France five years consequetively, though matthew never served the french people because he left after winning the election because he doesnt like french people.
The Monster Raving Loony Party[edit]
The Monster Raving Loony Party are people who stand up for their rights and fight against a modern society which discriminate against the now recognized Religion and Ethnic Origin; Monster Raving Lunacy.
FG's Party[edit]
was a pretty awesome party wasn't it!
The Scientist Years[edit]
from Subascensionism[edit]
Subascensionism is a religion created by Brian S., James P., Paul D., and Daniel H. in March of 2006 during a Computer Science class that was moving far too slowly that day for the overactive minds of The Four Prophets. Subascensionism is primarily based on geometry, but it has been expanded and the geometric shapes have been personified in order to make it more closely resemble more common religions such as Christianity, Judaism, Mormonism, or Hinduism.
Subascensionism is a very young parody religion, though its followers would either consider it a legitimate religion in its own right, or claim that it is no more fictional than any other religion currently being practiced in the world. One man pointed out on Subascensionism's first day of existence that rather than petitioning to teach the religion in science class, Subascensionism could be taught, instead, along with other mathematical theorems and postulates.
Subascensionism is very young. Its original concept was generated in less than 50 minutes by The Four Prophets while they were supposed to be working, but, as The First Prophet Brian S. claims, "inspiration from the divine can hit you any second. POW!"
The last names of The Prophets are unknown to all but The Prophets and a large majority of the Higher Beings, especially The Line, The Point, Mandelbrot, and Julia. This is in part due to the mandate that thier last names be only represented by the first letter, followed by a period representing The Point. Although the first names of The Prophets are known, it is acceptable to reffer to them as B.S., J.P., P.D., and D.H., as more periods means more representation of The Point.
Although it has not yet occured, The Prophet B.S. forsees (and warns against) a three-way schism among the followers of Subascensionism: the religion will sadly split into Biopticalians, Monopticalian, and Exopticalians, the argument being over the glasses worn by The Prophets.
- "Beware! For the Subascensionists shall split."
- "And they shall be rendered into three, split as thus:"
- "The Biopticalians, noting the glass sight-aids upon the elder of us, will insist upon such sight-aids for all."
- "The Exopticalians, noting the absence of said sight-aids upon the more energetic of us, will insist that said sight-aids condemn you to serve Mandelbrot."
- "And then, there shall be the Monopticalians. The Monopticalians shall see the feuding between the Bi and Ex, and will have a revelation: one half of us wear sight-aids, one half does not. And thus, all should split the difference and wear one half of a sight-aid."
- Book of Brian S., Chapter III, Verses XI-XVI
The Prophet B.S. continued his prediction, citing the further division of the Monopticalians, one half of them wearing monocles, the other half wearing full glasses every other day.
Due to the young nature of Subascensionism, its beliefs and doctrines are molded as the movement gains followers, and even through the course of a boring class period. However, despite changes that are happening, the following is a list of truths within the Subascensionist religion:
- There are five known dimensions, each containing an entity or entities that belong within the hierarchy of the faith.
- The 0th dimension contains one entity: The Point.
- The 1st dimension contains one entity: The Line.
- The 2nd dimension contains innumerable entities, classed in our perceptions as 2D shapes.
- The 3rd dimension is Earth and the rest of the known universe, and is pitied for its weakness. Due to this pity, the rules placed throughout the dimensions are slightly relaxed for entities living within this dimension.
- The 4th dimension is the Subascensionist equivalent to Hell in other religions; it is presided over by Mandelbrot and Julia.
- It is believed that there are further dimensions, collectively called Oblivion. Souls that can neither be reformed nor tortured sufficiently in the 4th dimension are sent there for all eternity - there is no escape.
- The Point is the origin of everything we know.
- The Point erratically generates new souls.
- Rapture will occur when each dimension is enveloped in its predecessor, until there is only The Line and The Point left. The Line will then be absorbed by The Point, and The Point will remain, alone, until it creates the universe once more.
- Neither Mandelbrotn nor Julia were created by The Point or The Line. The Prophet J.P. guessed that they came from the -1st dimension.
- The closer one is to The Line, the more perfect the soul is (thus, triangles and circles are the most perfect 2D shapes, and humans that are especially skinny and angular are closer to subascension)
- Subascension from the 2nd dimension makes the soul a part of The Line. If a soul that is part of The Line somehow manages to subascend, it will become part of The Point.
- Once part of The Point, the soul has acheived ultimate perfection, and cannot degrade itself from there.
- Subascension from the 2nd dimension makes the soul a part of The Line. If a soul that is part of The Line somehow manages to subascend, it will become part of The Point.
- The soul is immortal, though it can become frozen in Oblivion or The Point.
- When the body dies, the soul is judged for reincarnation.
- A soul with an organic shape will become reincarnated within the same dimension, as the organic shape is improper.
- A soul with a geometric shape that has followed the doctrines of Subascensionism will subascend to a lower-valued dimension (3rd to 2nd, 2nd to 1st, etc.), ultimately terminating by joining with The Point.
- A soul with a geometric shape that has done nothing will remain as if it were organic.
- A soul with a geometric shape that has been evil and blasphemous will ascend to a higher-valued dimension, ultimately terminating in Oblivion.
- A reincarnated soul has no memory of previous life, as memory depends on the body. If the soul has just ascended, rather than subascended, the body will be infused with an urge to repair the damage placed upon the soul.
- When the body dies, the soul is judged for reincarnation.
- The Line is pleased by all of the following, and may cause them to subascend at intervals. (Note that these objects do have souls, and can fall from favor in The Line's eyes, at which point they are ascended back to thier point of origin.)
- Socks (especially those made for left feet)
- TV remotes
- Car keys (for some reason, The Line takes more interest in keys just before their owner needs them)
- Pencils and Pens
- Glasses (though these seem to be especially prone to ascension)
- Small children's toys (especially those that were received free of charge)
Key Figures[edit]
There are several key figures in the religion of Subascensionism.
- The Point - The Point is the origin of everything except for Mandelbrot and Julia. To quote The Prophet B.S. from Book of Brian S., Chapter I, Verse I, "In the begginning, there was The Point. From The Point sprang The Line. And From The Line came all else."
- The Line - The Line is the equivalent of God in Abrahamic religions, and directly or indirectly created everything, excluding The Point, Mandelbrot, and Julia.
- The Figure With An Infinite Number Of Sides - The Figure is a 2D geometric figure with an infinite number of sides. The Figure is the God of Disaster and the God of Peace.
- Brian S. - The First Prophet, one of the elder prohpets, and the one who has done the most work of the four.
- James P. - The Second Prophet, one of the younger prophets, and the one who has done almost as much as B.S.
- Paul D. - The Third Prophet, who joins B.S. as an elder. Though excited at the begining of his existence as prophet, he was quickly reduced to boredom.
- Daniel H. - The Fourth Prophet, joining J.P. as a young prophet. He has been negligent in his prophetic duties, but is a prophet nonetheless.
- Mandelbrot and Julia - Mandelbrot is the equivalent of Satan in Abrahamic religions, though his origins are uncertain. The only suggestion is that he came from the -1st dimension, and he then traveled upward through the negivtive dimensions only to arrive at the base of Oblivion, and then advanced upward. All this dimensional travel apparently contorted Mandelbrot to his current shape. Julia is the god(dess) of Sex, and apparently she followed Mandelbrot's path, and was contorted in a different way. She is capable of shape-shifting to some degree, and so can tempt both males and females.
- Dythech - The spawn of Mandelbrot and Julia, the Dythech (translated to "Demons") form approximately a quarter of the inhabitants of the 4th dimension.
- The Evil - The Evil is the only known occurance (besides the possibility of Mandelbrot and Julia) of an entity escaping Oblivion. The story is written in the Book of James P.
From The Point came The Line. From The Line came all of the 2D shapes. From the union of the circles and organic shapes came all of the 3D shapes. From the minds of men came the 4D shapes. Mandelbrot and Julia arrived, and from them came the Dythech.
For the simple purpose of representing Subascensionism, Brian S. has created a logo for the movement. Consisting of an aqua-colored circle containing the image of a red and black Mandelbrot, which is being struck strough the middle by a white line. Of the image, Brian S. has said:
- "The logo represents everything the religion is about. We've got Mandelbrot and his flames on the lowest layer (fourth dimesion) of the image. Atop Mandelbrot is a peaceful circle, one of the parents of the third dimension and one of the most powerful shapes of the second dimesnion. Finally, a representation of The Line rests on top, stretching out past the borders of the image. The Line is white, for it reflects all (white light) and is pure. The line also strikes through Mandelbrot's heart, representing the conflict between them."

(Name redacted) started life as a very small furry ball, and may have been mistaken for moss. for some inexplicable reason and some form of turbo evolution he managed to grow arms and legs. This process melted sympathetic parts of his mind including: lady emotions ( love, kindness, generosity, tolerance, being able to shave ) and left him with an angry pool of rage, hate, disdain and intolerance of many people in society. This combined with being very short has left him a bitter individual and prone to outbursts at authoritative figures and also looking at Swinneys legs.

- Shakespeare wrote in modern English. Which other language did you want it translated to? - Nunh-huh 18:43, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps s/he wants it translated from Early Modern English to, uh, contemporary English? --Chris S. 18:51, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- That wouldn't be a translation. It would be a paraphrase. If he is having problems with a specific sentence, he'd do better to ask here for an explanation of its meaning, if he wants some useful help. - Nunh-huh 03:31, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- I don't see why it wouldn't be translating. It's taking a source text that's in one dialect and transforming it to a text in another dialect. That is the essence of translation.--Prosfilaes 05:37, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Translation is a rendering from one language into another. It's not about dialect, it's about language. - Nunh-huh 11:24, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

From Foundation-l email on the existence of wikiversity.at[edit]
In response to a short note by Eloquence
Erik, you free information voter registration spamming volatile barbarian radical/paleoliberal you, If this were not a troll then why would the "Foreign Information For Illegal Alien Students" link (http://wikiversity.at/MyWiki/index.php?title=Kategorie:Information_for_fore ign_students) on the front page be in English instead of Russian or Ancient Mayan to take advantage of the soon to be released Lethal Weapon 42 collaboration between Canadian and Australian conspirators bent on stealing Hollywood's golden geese plantations? One of these days I am going to start advocating that others ignore anonymously owned sites unwilling to even to fake affidavits of non association with the evil associates who are unduly influencing the Wikimedia Foundation. Obviously this will require some participation at the offending sites ... inevitably leaving dribbles of valuable top secret proprietary thoughts virally released to the world. A terrible dillemma ... at times like this I ask myself ... what would bad copy screecher do at a time like this? Since he is my arch rival and an agent of Satan, I have only to flip the bozo bit and proceed in an appropriately complex direction partially tangential to zero. He advises ignoring trolls! Therefore I do not! Excellent! Vorticity check confirms viable congruence with personal inclination previously proven in transparent play pens. The word is given. Go! Away! Back! Somewhere! Here! There! Where! When! Sooner! Later! i^2 Origin, Uno, Bi, Hex, Pluto, iq^3, Boom! Very funny. Soon. Enough.
From Ejaculation[edit]
The ejaculation feels so good. As you are penetrating your lover, or your hand or even an animal, your muscles start to tighten up, leaving a tingly senstation. Then BAM MOTHERFUCKER! Your blowing your load all over the bitches face. Or all over your parents pillows. Bush sucks.
From Asperger syndrome[edit]
Asperger syndrome can involve an intense and obsessive level of focus on things of interest. For example, one person might be obsessed with 1950s professional wrestling, another with national anthems of African dictatorships, another with building models out of matchsticks and another by atending every soccer match their team is playing in even if it mean going truant from schooll or not showing up for work. For real.

- 2. It is most commonly enjoyed in the East section of the Stavanger business/industrial area Forus.Although one might find occasional Stiob salads in the rainy valleys of Bergen (particular near NHH area).
- 3. People who eat Stiob salads are occasionally referred to as "loudspeakers" or "hightalkers".
- 4. After enjoying a Stiob salad, one might find the time to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate.

From Emo Kid[edit]
|Emo Kids
An emo kid
|Scientific classification
|Type species
|Emo Kid
Savage, 1847
Natural Habitat[edit]
It is difficult to observe the Emo Kid in his natural habitat, for they tend to be in secluded spots, often in the dark. The darkness results from their inability to focus on mundane tasks, such as changing a lightbulb, due to a perpetually depressed state often accompanied by tears. The darkness is justified commonly with the phrase "The black of the room resonates with the searing blackness of my soul".
Identification and Physical Characteristics[edit]
Among some, it is easy to confuse the Emo Kid from the similar species the punk, due to the plumage being similer. Noted differences to help make identification are easy enough to spot. An Emo Kid usually has a distinctive hair pattern, generally straight, and often covering the eyes. Look for attempted slash marks on the Emo Kid's wrist. Perpetual crying is a good indicator, as is the presence of shitty music.
Mating Habits[edit]
Male Emo Kids have one mate for life. They usually attract this mate in their teenage years, persue her seriously for a short period (often one to two weeks) and then get left by the female. They then spend the rest of their lives writing badly worded songs about their mate, professing their love for the long gone female, and crying.
Female Emo Kids tend to mate with several males over the course of their lives, never staying with one very long.
It should also be noted that there is a bold number of transexual Emo Kids today.
-When approaching an Emo Kid, you must be very cautious. Offensive use of language or insults toward an emo can have an ugly result.
-Leave the scene immediately if an Emo Kid slits his/her wrist in your presence. You don't want to be a suspect for an act of stupidity.
-Do not bend over to tie your shoe in the presence of an Emo Kid, especially if you are both males. If you do, you will hear sobbing and feel an immediate pinch in your anus.

From Shopping locations[edit]
Shops need to be where shoppers can reach them easily. Else they'll go out of business!
100 years ago, you'd find the main shops in the centre of a town or city - in the CBD. All the roads led to the CBD, so shoppers could get there easily.
That has not changed - yet! You'll still find the main shops in the town or city centre...
Click on the Forward arrow for more about shopping locations.
But we don't always want to go to the CBD to shop. Especially for food or other convenience goods, or when we are in a hurry.
So there have always been shops outside the CBD, closer to our homes. For example corner shops like this one.
Today, more and more new shops are opening in convenient places, outside the CBD.
For example on the ground floor of new blocks of flats, and in busy railway stations!
Over the last hundred years, our towns and cities have spread and grown - and that's led to new shopping centres in the suburbs, like this one.
Most are built by developers. They see a chance for more shops, near our homes. So they build the shop units, and then sell or rent them.
Most shopping centres offer less choice than the CBD, especially for comparison goods. But you can park easily.
Is there a shopping centre near you?
In the last 20 years or so, there has been another big change. Shopping has left town!
Some huge shopping centres have been built outside towns and cities. Like the Bluewater centre shown here, outside London.
They are near major roads, and have large car parks, so that people can drive there from all directions.
As well as chain stores, department stores and supermarkets, they have restaurants, parks and even cinemas. So they compete strongly with the CBDs. Have you been to one?
But every change brings winners and losers. And with shopping, our villages have been losers.
50 years ago, even a small village might have a grocery shop, a draper's, a butcher's, and perhaps a chemist's.
But more people have cars now, and are happy to travel to town to shop. So thousands of village shops have closed. Now lots of villages don't have any.
That can be tough if you're a mum without a car, or an elderly person.

Bell work[edit]
Bell work is a period of class time devoted to preliminary math problems and exercises in any class tought by Steven Peterson at Haverford High School in Havertown, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania. Students are expected to individually complete the excercises in their notebooks. Bell work generally lasts ten to twenty minutes, but sometimes can last over an hour, sometimes even lasting the entire class period. Many students have decried bell work claiming that it is a meager substitute for actual instruction by Mr. Peterson. === The bell work song === In order to inspire his students to continue the grind of bell work, Peterson often sings his patented "bell work song". A student favorite, the song goes as follows: What get's me up in the morning? Bell work. What keeps school from being too boring? Bell work. B-E-double L, W-O-R-K, When I have you everything is OK. What get's me up in the morning? Bell work. I love you bell work!

"Likewise with ""CSS style sheets"", where CSS can also refer to the Content-scrambling system used on DVD Video titles, or even Client-side_scripting."
Why on earth would anyone talk of content-scrambling system in the same context as cascading style sheets? Moreover, nobody would use CSS to mean "Client-side_scripting" [sic] - a quick OneLook and Google search reveals no evidence of this meaning, and CSS already has an established meaning in the common context. AISI this sentence is just conjuring up an ambiguity that isn't really there. -- Smjg 14:16, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Color Watch[edit]
The Color Friend (Full name, "Color Friend Hyper 48") was a failed experimental gaming system, circa 1988. It was created by the Korean company Color Friend, and was one of the earliest (if little known) attempts in the gaming industry to "overpower" the competition.
In 1987, Color Friend Inc. was founded in Korea by Australian entrepreneur, Dan Mitchell. Mitchell's idea of the "Perfect System" was one which sacrificed nothing in the interest of gaming experience. Mitchell was an expert at marketing his ideas to investors and quickly raised enough capital to get his company off the ground. Sadly, Mitchell was not as adept at marketing his vision to the market itself as he was to these brave investors.
Color Friend's first (and last) project, "Hyper 48" was the manifestation of Mitchell's dream.
Only three working prototypes of the CF Hyper 48 were ever created.
The "48" in the system's name was a reference to its architecture, which used 13 65C816 microprocessors (similar to the processor used in the SNES). The 13 processors were arranged in 3 "triclusters", groups of 3 processors. These triclusters each used a 4th processor which divided tasks to the other 3 processors, and managed their output. These triclusters handled data in 48 bit chunks (16-bits per processor). All of the triclusters were coordinated by the last processor.
Each coordinating processor (including the last) had the task of looking ahead in the programs sent to them and determining the most efficient way to divide up tasks. Output from each processor then had to be sorted by the coordinating processors in order for the 13 processors to work in a standard FIFO architecture.
The system had a whopping 1.8 MB of RAM.
Unlike its contemporaries, the CF Hyper 48 did not require the knowledge of its assembly language to develop for. Instead it used an easily human readable language, which was heavily compiled to take full advantage of the complex architecture that the system used. Sprites were automatically given pointers as if preloaded into ram (although they were not). The sprites were stored as raw pixel data on the cartridges. Also notable of the sprites on the CF Hyper 48 was that they had full 32 bit color depth.
Because of the system's aggressive look-ahead architecture, it had quirks when running games that sometimes required it to come to a complete halt while processing finished. Additionally overheating was a huge issue. With 13 processors, the system would become so hot that powerful (and loud) fans were necessary to keep it cool.
While 1.8 MB was a huge amount of RAM at the time, it was still very little in terms of storing 32 bit color images. Programmers were forced to be extremely thrifty with the RAM, and sometimes performance suffered.
The system's most crippling weakness, though, was its tremendous cost. At the time, had it gone to market, the system would have cost over 3400 USD. After over a year of development, Color Friend's investors decided that consumers would be unwilling to pay for Dan Mitchell's dream. Almost all of them pulled out their money shortly after the unveiling of the third prototype.

From Quiet Rufus[edit]
In 17th Century Prose, the seemingly befuddled character Quiet Rufus, orignally coined by the prominent Germanic circus trapeze artist "Moderate Nbungu Jones", pops up in a number of disparate literary works, including:
- Quiet Rufus Goes Forth (1645)
- Quiet Rufus Has a Picnic (1654)
- Quiet Rufus Does it Again (1655)
- Quiet Rufus Shakes Down the Boogie Two Time (1675)
- Quiet Rufus in the Case of the Missing Arrows (1677)
The length of time between the penning of Quiet Rufus Does it Again and the subsequent work just displays the audacity with which Quiet Rufus does indeed Shake Down the Boogie Two Time, baby.
Moderate Nbungu Himself[edit]
Although the man himself remains shrouded in mystery, the few shreds of parchment that dictate Moderate N. Jones' existance can be viewed (with great personal verissimilitude) at the Frankfurt International Airport's Secret Literary Storage Area, located just next to McDonalds.
Born to impoverished members of a Flying Monkey Troupe in the burning deserts of the Sahara, N. Jones was able to overcome his adverse beginnings to become one of the most highly regarded artists (both in literary works and trapeze skills) of his age. His trademark wit and deadpan humour has since inspired countless writers including Porky McFadden, Reggie O B O, and Stephen "King" Jones (who is believed to be a direct descendent of the trapezemeister himself).
The circumstances surrounding his death are still not fully understood to this day, it seems that it was a tiger driven to the brink of insanity by heat stroke combined with LSD consumption that eventually brought Nbungu to his grisly death, just 105 years after his birth. Quite what he was doing in the tiger research facility at LSD Heights, Beijing, is still uncertain although close friends of Jones' often described him as a 'real hit' with the tigers.
Quiet Rufus' impact on Modern Literature[edit]
The evidence for the lingering influence of Moderate Nbungu's charming character who was instantly accessible to children and adults alike but often inadequately equipped with trousers, is such that graffiti still appears on the streets of Philadelphia Town, proclaiming "Rufus Lives, OK?" and "Rufus Rocks my Socks, OK?". However, Rufus' escapades have even influenced modern writers of great standing, such as Tom Clancy (displayed by his seminal espionage thriller: "Quiet Rufus Meets Jack Ryan").

Non-notable sandwich served (and discontinued years ago) by a single university cafeteria. Normally I would prod this, but the speedy was already contested (meaning, I feel prod would be a waste of time).
Delete I am now changing my vote -- to Extremely strong delete, due to users that are now stalking me on IM due to my stance on this issue. Andy Saunders 19:27, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- As there is no other place on the internet where the recipe or process for this sandwich is available, I feel that wikipedia is fufilling its mission of keeping information not otherwise available accessible to anyone who needs it.

KEEP!!!The Spanjo is how I met my husband. You see, I was at the Halfass, trying to decide which sandwich to order, when the guy in front of me ordered a Spanjo. I was thinking about trying the Spanjo myself, but as a poor college student, I was reluctant to spend my money on a sandwich I might not like. I asked the guy in front of me how the Spanjo was, and with his encouragement, I took the plunge. We ended up eating our Spanjos together that afternoon, and 5 years later we got married (and for the record, we had mini Spanjos during the cocktail hour). Every year, we return to Michigan for a football game, and on these trips we are sure to visit the Halfass for a Spanjo at least one time (they still make the sandwich, even though it is not on the official menu).

- Keep! I'm new to this site (and thus I'm sure that big red box above refers to me) I can't say I'm an expert in all things wiki-related, but I can vouch for the fact that the sandwich in questions does exist. Not only is it surprisingly tasty, it does hold a bit of cultural significance in south central michigan. Point is, while this "information" may only be interesting to a very small sliver of the population, isn't that enough? It's not made up. It's true. And the information itself takes up a whole lot less space that the protests against it. As I said, from someone who is new to wikipedia, I thought this was precisely the place to put information like this, information you couldn't find anywhere else. sixofrock 10:48, 9 March 2006 (UTC) Template:Unsigned
- "information that you can't find anywhere else" easily violates WP's "verifiability" tenet. If you can't find it anywhere else, how can you verify it to ensure that it's actually true? Nobody's done any sort of scholarly work on the Spanjo; Letterman hasn't eaten a Spanjo on his show; it's simply not notable, and if we were to include everything along the same notability level as the Spanjo, Wikipedia would be much too unwieldy and would lose a lot of its credibility. -- Andy Saunders 16:20, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
Keep! OntarioQuizzer, the minimum standard for a newspaper in terms of verification is three independent sources. Including myself, there is at least that on this article, and my guess would be more to come. Please do not tell me you find the standards of the Chicago Tribune, Washington Post and New York Times not stringent enough for you or the Wikipedia. On a personal note, the idea that this article is even being contested is truly ridiculous. --Indiebass 18:16, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
- 1) Users saying that it is true doesn't cut it; we need PUBLISHED sources, and it still does nothing for the fact that the Spanjo is not notable for 99.99% of the population. The idea that people with no idea whatsoever about Wikipedia policy are actually trying to find reasons for keeping the article is truly ridiculous, in my opinion. -- Andy Saunders 17:32, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
- 2) The only verifiable information I could find on the Spanjo is at this link. And it's from Google's cache, because the East Quadrangle Halfway Inn doesn't serve the Spanjo any more. Also, in regard to the standards that newspapers use: A major newspaper wouldn't do a story on a sandwich that some restaurant no longer serves. It wouldn't be notable. Quite frankly, I'm getting a little tired of this debate; it sounds like you (Indiebass) are trolling us and trying to provoke a reaction. I predict that when some administrator comes to close this vote, they'll see all the voting from anonymous users and people whose only contribution to Wikipedia is to defend an article on a discontinued sandwich, and they'll close the vote and delete it. --Elkman - (talk) 17:56, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

--Who is being accused of sock puppetry here?
Keep Since the Whopper is listed in Wikipedia I think the Spanjo should be included. A delicious sandwich should not be discriminated against simply because it is not served by a national chain. Andy's reply is going to be: "But the Whopper can be verified by published sources and many more people care about the Whopper." Good points Andy, but having eaten a Spanjo myself I must say keep. --Velcroshoe 18:13, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Keep Andy - it's not inconceivable that more than 600,000 people have enjoyed a Spanjo (Michigan is a huge school), meaning that more than .01% of the population has intimate knowledge of it. Furthermore, let's say that each of those people told one other person about the sandwich in their lifetime. That's 1.2 million people. Are you so stuck up as to deny that 1.2 million people constitutes enough valid sources? --TsarSteve 18:32, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
- This whole discussion amuses me. The reason I say to Keep it are because I love this sandwich and I know that I am not alone in my enjoyment.

Phalloanalysis, or lingam gnosis, is an ancient art of personality assessment based upon the idea that there are four types of penises:
- Earth
- Air
- Fire
- Water
Most penises represent a combination of two of these types and, concsequently, their owners share the characteristics of the two.
Earth penis[edit]
Earth penises look like yams, potatoes, turnips, or other tuberous vegetables. Uusally large, earth penises tend to be of an irregular shape and exhibit dark pigmentation. Earth penises are associated with large, hirsute, pendulous testicles.
The earth penis' owner tends to be of a homely appearance and a pragmatic nature and is apt to be a farmer. He is the domnant partner in any relationship. A down-to-earth individual, the earth penis owner has simple, ordinary, everyday tastes, in sex as in other areas of his interest and activity. Chances are that he is of only average or below-average intelligence.
The air penis is likely to be long, to be slender, to be of a light complexion, and to have a bend in its shaft. The small, round, lightly pigmented testicles associated with the air penis are carried close to the body, indicating a cold nature. Who owns the air penis? The artist. More specifically, although an intelligent and imaginative lover, he is an artist who is likely to be bisexual and to have difficulty making and keeping commitments, being of an adulterous and fickle character.
Fire penis[edit]
The fire penis is thick, smooth straight, symmetrical, and hot pink to red in color, indicative of its owner's fiery sexuality and his aggressive, controlling nature.
Small and soft, the water penis is the most feminine of the four types of phalli. Although they tend to be nuturing men who enjoy doing tasks that are usually considered "woman's work," such as cooking, cleaning, and taking care of children. However, the water penis owner has a strong, active libido and may prove too much of a man for many would-be partners.

From Kellie Pickler[edit]
The 19-year-old first auditioned for American Idol in fall 2005 in Greensboro, North Carolina. During this audition, she sang both Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" and Martina McBride's "A Broken Wing". As of February 15, 2006, Pickler had advanced as far as the top 24 contestants on the show. On February 21, 2006, during the Top 12 girls semi-finalist round she sang "How Far" by Martina McBride. February 23, she advanced to the next round and sang "Something To Talk About" by Bonnie Raitt on February 28. On March 7, she sang "I'm The Only One" by Melissa Etheridge. On March 9, she advanced to the Top 12 of American Idol. Though she hates America. She frequently chants "Palestinian Statehood Now!" or "Death to America!" during commericals.
From The Land Before Time[edit]
The story involves an orphaned longneck named Littlefoot who has to flee from a drought-caused famine to search for the Great Valley, an area which has been spared devastation and where dinosaurs can survive. He became orphaned after the on-screen death of Littlefoot's mother from injuries suffered while being shot by US Vice President Dick Cheney; however, upon reaching the Great Valley, he could be reunited with his grandparents.
Pisslips was a pornographic film produced in the late 70's. Starring; Joel Mcleigh, in a breakout role, as well as old names such as Christopher Stitchbury, and Stephan Van Der Merve. Pisslips was a record flop, selling only one copy to an eager man called Liam Mc'Master, who subsequently returned it. Some blamed its lack of success to the dubious acting quality of those involved, however film analyst Qi Shan Limb (phd), claimed; "I doubt this is the problem, as many pornographic publications have appalling acting, just look at the Paris Hilton sex tapes!" Dr Limb concluded, "I think (we) can blame the lack of success of this film to the appaling directing ablilities of William Zhang" - The Listener, 1981. Michael Moughan, a noted Philosopher, whose achivements include the creation of the word skux, decreed it to be the most horrific thing he had ever seen, saying; "I wish that i could tell you a man having his intestines come out his arse was the worst thing i have ever seen....but i can't anymore!" - GothGals XXX, 1979.
Pisslips centres around the erotic adventures of three men who crossdress as gothic Japaneese girls. The plot degenerates quickly, and it becomes an exhibition of self fellatio, and defecation fetishism, see: Scat , Golden Shower.
Interesting Facts[edit]
When the director's cut, involving Mr Zhang himself, screened in a small cinema in Ohio, all 59 residents of the town inexplicably commited suicide after the first week of showing. Earning for the film the title of "most dangerous film" - WorstFilms, 1979.
Hobbits are a race (or subset of a race) from J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth universe which first appears in the book The Hobbit. They also play a major role in The Lord of the Rings. They can also be found in Mr. Smith's 4th period class, where a hobbit by the nae of John Doe is residing. Although he claims to be human, his clever disguise fools no one. Every day hhe gets more and more hair. One day, his hair will be so hairy that it will incumpass all.

Coding by Comrade Reguspatoff[edit]
Coding by Comrade Reguspatoff means intellectual theft of source code from an external source (competitive organization, shareware, public domain etc) and applying it on project indiscriminately, often without consideration of consequences to the software project. While the practice is extremely dishonest and may lead into prosecution under criminal law, it can also be considered a special case of Voodoo programming.
The name Comrade Reguspatoff originates in Soviet Union, which was known of widespread practise of industrial espionage. The common joke was that all the important Soviet inventions were made by Comrade Reguspatoff, where the peculiarly Russian-looking surname opens up as Reg. US Pat. Off

From Octopus[edit]
- - What if an octopus were released into space? This question has plagued mankind for centuries. Ten years ago, unbeknowst to the rest of the world, a secret faction of the Russian government sent out a space probe with the worlds most intellgent octopus as its only commander. Yesterday at 5 pm it returned!! Now super intelligent and conveniently able to speak Russian fluently it informed us that it had created a colony world in the far reaches of the Zultan nebula and it's fleets are preparing to wage all out war on humankind. Who will become the dominant species in the universe now? Only time may tell. - - Copyright (c) 2006 Sir Dr Vladimir Von Schleppendorf Jr II.
from Sohcahtoa[edit]
Born in the early 1800's, Chief Sohcahtoa was leader of the Winnabego tribe of Nebraska during the era "Pax Nebraska"
from Industrial Strength Vacuum Cleaner[edit]
A vacuum-cleaner not tuned-down for average civilian uses, the industrial strentgh cleaner has a truly sucky power: it can force an entire overweight cat through its two-inch-diameter end, without tearing the cat into itty-bitty bits, which is a real pain to clean up. (On a different note, the cat stays alive, loses around 20 pounds of fat, and overall comes out better, if more disgruntled.) That cat, however, is tough to find and remove from the cleaner's tank, which is approximately to size of a plasma-screen T.V. Incedently, one was once thrown at the cleaner to try to stop its sucking rampage; the T.V. never stood a chance.
In short, these things REALLY suck.
from Pink Theory[edit]
The 'Pink Theory' is a basic theory that involves the clothing color of 'big' females. The theory states that: 1. Wearing pink does not make you fat. However, 2. Fat chicks wear a lot of pink. (of course no offense to women of large stature.)
In the typical public environment, the average person will notice this phenomena in frequency that is well beyond what you would consider mere coindicnce. I personally came up with this theory several years ago while at the mall and then again at a nightclub.
I consider this artice to be verifiable by just walking out to any public place and looking around for a few minutes.
Hitler's Ghost[edit]
Hitler's ghost, a little-known phenomenon, occurs when there is a full moon in both Burshnigaria in the Balkans and the small Tahitian island of Manau Tupapau. On this rare evening, sailors in the mid-atlantic have spotted a transparent figure walking along the rims of waves.
This figure, many have said, shouts and wildly gesticulates to an unseen audience. Its gaudy appearance and military attire have led to the dubbing of this apparition as 'Hitler's Ghost'. After seeing this freak event, every single witness later gives birth to a small green man who bursts out of their stomach. It is said that the screenwriter of the film 'Alien' was on a small squid trawler in the atlantic when he experienced Hitler's Ghost, and the events that followed inspired the film he later wrote.
It is said in Tahitian folklore that rubbing your eyes with vinegar and placing rocksalt mixed with Pumice into your rectal area before a voyage can prevent these events from occuring should the apparition be spotted. So take heed, travellers, and remember: when travelling in high seas, never forget your rock salt!!

My name is Gracie Sutherland, and I am a registered minister of the Universal Life Church. While preaching a Sermon to my clergy this past Sunday afternoon, I realized something stunning about the life and times of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Now, as my clergy is made up of several extremely cute stuffed animals, they are obviously not the best choice for intelligent theoretical discussion about the son of God. Unfortunately, my entire clientele lacks brains. As many of my fellow ministers know, this makes them prime followers to whatever I say, but they lack the motor neurons necessary to discuss Biblical studies without becoming confused.
In any case, I realized that our God, Jesus Christ, the man we all know and love, was not a man at all. In fact, he was not even a deity. Jesus Christ was quite obviously a robot from the future sent back to save us from our sins.
Now, you may scoff at this and might even be a little offended at the concept, but I beg of you to continue reading and at least hear me out on this groundbreaking new theory. You see, there is plenty of evidence in the Bible that suggests this possibility, and much of it even verifies it. I am a skeptical woman, and I do not accept ideas such as this easily, so when I say that I am greatly convinced that our deity was really a mechanized hunk of metal, I hope you will give me the benefit of the doubt and accept my years of experience as a Christian minister as sufficient cause for listening.
Now, as I said, there is plenty of evidence contained within the good book that will allow you to see just how right I am. For instance:
1) The Bible says that Jesus walked on the water.
Now, I love Jesus as much as the next Christian, but walking on water? Bull****. Jesus flew over the water. And how did he fly? With the rocket boosters that were built into his feet. There is no other sensible explanation.
2) The Bible says that Jesus revived after 3 days.
People don't simply come back to life. That's just not plausible. Jesus just sat in his tomb for three days while his battery recharged.
3) The Bible says that Jesus turned a fish and a loaf of bread into a meal for the masses.
Can anybody say cloning ray?
4) The Bible says that Jesus cured the sick and let the blind see again.
In the future, nanotechnology will allow for micromachines that will cure the sick and heal the blind and do all kinds of wonderful things. Jesus obviously had these stockpiled within his metal body and let them out to help the people of the world in an attempt (a successful attempt, I might add) to convince the people that he was the Son of God.
5) The Bible says that Jesus was a carpenter.
What's this fascination with raw materials? Obviously Jesus had to recharge his battery by eating wood. Otherwise, he would have just lost power and fallen over. Now, my other theory is that he was building weapons with the wood and his primary source of power was actually children, but I have yet to write a thesis on this.
As you can see, even this small sampling of the evidence present in The Bible is enough to suggest this theory be taught in all Sunday Schools around the world. If Intelligent Design makes it into school curriculum, I wholly expect Ms. Sutherland's Theory of Robot Jesus to follow suit. If it doesn't, I may be forced to sue the entire Christian system, including the Catholics. From: Something-Witty | Posted: 3/15/2006 2:04:37 AM | Message Detail | #002 Now, you might be saying, "But Ms. Sutherland, there is plenty of evidence to the contrary!" Well, sure, if you want to count the whole 'birth' thing as evidence. Personally, I think that Jesus pulled a rocket launcher out of his ass and forced the various authors of The Bible to include that little tidbit so that people wouldn't know the truth. In fact, any evidence you might have against me that stems from The Bible was obviously planted by Robot Jesus himself in order to keep people from suspecting that he was really a cybernetic badass from the future.
In any case, I hope that you have learned something from reading through the facts regarding this new groundbreaking theory. If you would like to hire me on as a featured columnist, I would be more than happy to oblige. My knowledge of The Bible is foolproof, as you have just witnessed.
Sincerely, Reverend Gracie Sutherland

One particularly obsessive fan, is James Samuels. His house in Lowton (Lancashire) is a shrine to all things Oddie, cardboard cut outs of the great man, even Oddie curtains and wallpaper.

Vanguard 1[edit]
Radio Beacon[edit]
A 10 mW mercury battery powered transmitter on the 108 MHz band used for International Geophysical Year (IGY) scientific satellites, and a 5 mW, 108.03 MHz transmitter powered by six solar cells were used as part of a radio phase-comparison angle-tracking system. The tracking data were used to show that the earth was pear-shaped with the stem at the North Pole. These radio signals were also used to determine the total electron content between the satellite and selected ground-receiving stations. The battery-powered transmitter provided internal package temperature for about 16 days and sent tracking signals for 20 days. The solar cell powered transmitter operated for more than 6 years. Signals gradually weakened and were last received at Quito, Ecuador, in May 1964.

From Broomfighting[edit]
In the broadest possible sense, broomfighting is the art and science of armed combat involving cleaning, dusting or anteseptic weapons directly manipulated by hand, shot or thrown (in other words, brooms, dusters, sponges, mops, dual brooms, and so on). Very similar to its sister sport fencing, it involves the use of non-lethal cleaning objects to strike opponnents and consequently claim victory. In contemporary common usage, broomfighting tends to refer specifically to the Amercan School of Broomsmanship.
The year-old art of broomfighting was founded in 2005 by Grayson Butler-Peterson, currently the only known Broommaster of the Broomfighters. It was started from Butler-Peterson's affinity for a certain broom that he would twirl and toss like a batton. When a certain Neneh S asked if she could try, Butler-Peterson's excuse was that she was not a broommaster, a term he made up up on the spot. When S asked to be taught, an art and sport was born. Ironically enough, it was Neneh S who started the rival sect of Mop.
The Two Sects of Cleaning[edit]
From the begining of broomfighting, there have been two major sects to Broomfighting. One, the Broomfighters, who chose more classical weaponry including feather dusters and brooms. The other sect, however, Mop warriors, chose newer and more wet items such as sponges and mops. Though the two sects have had a significant rivalry, their methods are amazingly alike, featuring certain training methods that are exactly the same.
In the sport of broomfighting, there are several ranks to achieve in the quest to Broommastery. They are as follows;
First Level[edit]
Second Level[edit]
Third Level[edit]
Advanced Defender
Advanced Fighter
Fourth Level[edit]
Grand Level[edit]
Grand Broom Master
Brooms and Other Weaponry[edit]
Brooms and Adapted Brooms[edit]
The weapon of choice for all broomfighters sports speed, accuracy, and blocking power all in one light weapon. Many Broommakers adapt the Broom to provide maxim performance in a required field, such as lengthening a broom for better defence, or shortening a broom for added control.
Other Weapons[edit]
Many broomfighters also use other items as backup weapons in case of a lost broom, weapons like the feather duster can be thrown at an enemy if needed, or the dustpan can be used to block oncoming attacks.
From White House[edit]
Because the office and staff of the President are located in the White House, it is common to refer to the activities of that staff as being done "by the White House." For instance, a reporter might state that "the White House responded to questions by saying...." This should not be read as saying that the building itself made the statement. Rather, when the White House itself speaks it is usually with the voice of deceased President Ulysses S. Grant, whose spirit haunts the White House, occasionally possessing it to speak with the living or drip blood from the walls.
From Man flu[edit]
Man Flu (or man-flu) is a particular form of the cold virus which only affect the male of any species. Men will only become susceptible to the man flu after puberty.
Please bear in mind that the symptoms of the man flu may vary from sufferer to sufferer, this is merely an outline of the most common symptoms
- Constant pain in joints
- Constant headache
- Blocked or stuffy nose
- Breathlessness
- Low sexual drive (not always experienced)
- Sinus pain
- Fever
- Swollen throat
- Lethargy
Recommended Treatment[edit]
The symptoms described above will last for anywhere from 3 days to as much as 2 weeks. As with the common cold, man flu has no known cure but recovery can be accelerated by bed rest, TLC and as much time off work or school as can be afforded.
A common misconception among wives and girlfriends is that there is no difference between the common cold and man flu, simply that men have a lower threshold for suffering than their female counterparts. This arises from the habit of outbreaks of man flu to occur simultaneously with outbreaks of the common cold. What must be remembered is that although man flu does not affect the female, it can be passed from the female to the male at the same time as the common cold virus, creating the illusion that the two afflictions are the same.

You may be a crackpot if...[edit]
The above discussion of whether [a scientist] is or isn't a crackpot, and why, causes the irresistable impulse to reply in a manner reminiscent of Jeff Foxworthy's "You may be a redneck if..." series of humorous items...
- If the defining moment of your adolescence is when you were telephoned by extraterrestrials... then you just may be a crackpot.
- If you are the recipient of the Victor von Frankenstein Weird Science Award of the alt.usenet.kooks newsgroup... then you could possibly be a crackpot.
- If you think the Wikipedia article about you fails to meet the Neutral Point of View policy because it doesn't properly reflect how fabulously brilliant you and your scientific theories are... then, just possibly, you could have a chance of being a crackpot.
- If you have threatened to report your critics to the FBI, CIA, NSA, or Department of Homeland Security as perpetrators of treason because their criticism of you threatens national security and may constitute an offense punishable by the death penalty... then, it is not beyond the realm of possibility that you could be a crackpot.
- If you react with great vehemence, with long semi-coherent rants and tirades, to the slightest suggestion that you are a crackpot, then... this could quite possibly constitute evidence that you are in fact a crackpot.

As of now, no member has ever had sex with another member due to them being glued to their chairs too busy stealing comment virginities.

Chimp rock[edit]
Chimp rock is a style of music distinguished by complete lack of formal training or commercial potential, yet essentially popular and listenable, as opposed to deliberately anti-commercial "experimental music". Nonetheless, chimp rock is very experimental - in fact it is more truly experimental than most scenester bullshit, since it is rooted in a stance of isolated and extreme visionary apocalypticism and anthemic righteousness.
Chimp is often associated with teenage boys recording heavy metal songs on handheld tape recorders, or else with middle-aged acid-casualties who have regressed to childlike simplicity and uninhibited directness. However, simply to call it "lo-fi" or "outsider" is to seriously underestimate the seminal and plenipotentiary resources of the chimp attitude. Chimp can be hi-fi, it can be well produced, it can come from the hands of masters as well as from the lips of children.
Daniel Johnston and Charlie Dold are among the boldest and most pure exemplars of the chimp esthetic; but early psychedelic bands such as Red Krayola, the Silver Apples, the 13th Floor Elevators, the Beach Boys, the Seeds, Sun Ra's Intergalactic Arkestra, and Cro-Magnon, can in retrospect be considered forerunners of chimp. More recent artists are Olivia Tremor Control, Friends Forever, and Wesley Willis. An endearing vignette of chimp rock can be found in the movie "High Fidelity", when a jaded record-store owner (played by John Cusack) finds renewal by promoting a group of two teenage skate punks who are attempting to make rap music.
It would be misleading to say that chimp rock flourished at any particular place or time, since chimpy sounds are forever pressing their way through the hardened and joyless forms of commercial and sub-commercial music. However, the term "chimp rock" was first coined in Boston in the early 1990s. Mark Erdody, leader of the hard rock band Kudgel, was responsible for widespread use of the term, and is considered "the granddaddy of chimp rock". Kudgel even released an album entitled "Chimp's Not Dead!", but in spite of its very chimpy artwork, this record is hardly an example of the chimp rock sound. Older and more entrenched elements in the Boston music scene maintained that the band Deluxx was the first to use the name "chimp rock". Indeed, Deluxx on its album "The Forgiveness Towel" was much closer to the chimp esthetic than Kudgel.
In the mid-1990s, the fanzine "Wingnut" featured several articles and interviews chronicling the lore of chimp rock. At the same time, the short-lived Chimp! record label released several 7" singles by the brilliant Trollin Withdrawal, which pushed the deliberate cultivation of chimp to new levels. The equally short-lived Sealed Hotel record label released an LP compilation, "Sonic Chimp Vol. 1" (1996), which surveyed the field of known chimp sounds at that time, featuring contributions from Jon Davis, Glemun (members of Lightning Bolt), Charlie Dold, Trollin Withdrawal, Gerty Farish, and the Pendulum Floors, as well as lesser-known artists such as Teddy Fire, Larry Marshall, Major Morgan, Nancy Andrews, and Bob Starker.
The long-awaited Sonic Chimp Vol.2 failed to materialize as the manic energy of the 1990s dwindled into a tame and elitist Indie Rock scene that could no longer offer a word of inspiration to the fearless rebels who had given it so much. But the spirit of chimp lives on - it would be impossible to kill such an elemental part of the human spirit - new generations will doubtless carve out their place in the pantheon, even if countless young ones fall by the wayside.
