Authors Had It The Hardest

A line from an old revision of the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike article.

Married writers struggled to be able to get by on an average household income of $400,000. Times were tough and the strike was necessary.

Dangerous Torture Food

I made one minor change, otherwise it is exact copy of an edit made to Wikipedia's force-feeding article.

Force-feeding of pernicious substances may be used as a form of torture and/or physical punishment. Some practitioners of a certain meditation disipline in the People's Republic of China allege being force-fed with harmful substances such as Canadian Bacon.

Definitions

A big thanks to the editors that gave us the true meanings of these terms.

**Golf: is one of the most boring sports known to mankind. The idea of a ball being aimlessly smacked into a little hole is just stupid and slow.

**Hacker: (sesame street): when Big Bird hacks into bank accounts and steals money.

**Halo Wars: angels fighting each other in heaven while hell is laughing their asses off.

**Purple is a green color donated to the American people by German immigrants.

Euro And It's Early History

Something you possibly didn't know about the currency.

The euro was introduced to world financial markets as an accounting currency in 1999 and launched as physical coins and banknotes on 1 January 2002. Originally, these coins were filled with chocolate, but were replaced with all-metal coins when the consumptions of some lower-denomination coins started to adversely affect the euro's exchange rate.

Federal Investigation

A silly edit summary on a page for gameshow models.

This is not a true model fanpage, and should be condemn, not just on wikipedia but altogether on the web, PERIOD. The person putting this link on there is under federal investigation.

Four Summaries And An Article

The first three fully explain what the edit summary author did. The fourth one, well...

Edit One: (Replaced the entire page (except the opening few words) with a repetition of the letter 'a')

Edit Two: (Again replaced mostly entire page, this time with letter 'b'. Also you will notice I have laid the b's out in a more readable and elegant way.)

Edit Three: (I am now commencing a full attack on this page. Please do not intervene as this may cause a rupture of diplomatic relations and full scale global war.)

Edit Four: (* * * RED WARNING * * * ATTACK IMMINENT * * * "Printer's gone. Everything's dead.--" "...It's like jelly!" "Why don't you pull the bloody ariel out!?" "Get the standby's ready!" "Move that!! Come on")

Hungry Hungry Hippos Tactics

We've always known the first two, but there is actually a third.

The game is known as a game of luck, however the serious players see it as a game of wit and tactical knowledge. There are three main techniques:

• Mashing - The most common tactic consists of hammering repeatedly on the lever so the board shakes wildly and, if you are lucky, marbles are consumed.
• Sniping - This consists of sitting still and only hitting the lever at the opportune moment (when a ball is near)
• Cheating - This consists of being a dick and punching the other opponents or blinding them so as to distract them from the board while you scoop up the balls with your hand and place them in your winnings tray.

Iceland's Economy

Apart from a few tweaks, this is a direct extract of a particular edit made to Iceland's Wikipedia article.

Traditionally, Iceland's economy subsisted mostly on the export of pixie dust and magical services. However, with the arrival of the Bubonic plague in the early 1940s, most magical beings in Iceland became extinct, or moved to Helsinki. Currently, Icelanders use wit for currency, which means the smart people become rich and prosperous allowing for more offspring to pass on the intelligence, therefore a sort of evolutionary Darwinism of intelligence is happening. Most of the wealth is, however, originally generated by nomadic hunters and gatherers who scrape the tundra for reindeer fur, which in turn are processed into jokes about foreigners and sold in souvenir-shops. Elf slavery was a big part of the country's economy until late 20th century, when a group of elf-slaves from a fishfactory were bought by an Entertainment-mogul, Kári Stefánsson, who intended to use his newly-formed "slalfe" polka band to entertain at children-parties and at funerals. This experiment went terribly wrong when the band "Kári´s polka-slalfes & co" started their own underproject going by the name FreeUsElves writing songs in elvish, icelandic and korean, protesting against elf slavery and high alcohol taxes.

Just Be A Little Precise

I wonder why this template isn't more common.

Queen And King

The best thing about this user is that they had an alternative account "King And Queen". Or maybe the best thing was their request for unblock!

Request reason: "I'm sorry, it was my husband, King. I tried to stop him, though."

Decline reason: "If you can't make a serious request for unblocking, then why I should take your request seriously either? -- Netsnipe ► 05:23, 9 July 2007 (UTC)"

Throwing A Die In The Parking Lot

Which is the more important meaning of the word "die"? Probably in relation to dice.

[edit] If you say so... When a person yells "Die!" in a parking lot, do you think she's playing manopoly? I believe Death is the most signifigant meaning of die, as it generally comes to mind. Daniel_123 ► 11:47, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
