Oscar's Chosen Article

Today's featured article – Alexander IV

AlexanderIV.jpg

Alexander the Great was an act that was hard to follow. His empire stretched from Greece to India and as far south as Egypt. For his only male heir — Alexander IV of Macedonia — it would prove impossible to follow. Hence his sobriquet Alexander the Not So Great.

Alexander IV was a weak echo of his father, like Caesarion the son of Julius Caesar, Napoleon II heir of Napoleon I, and various Kennedys, Bushes, and Clintons of United States politics.

Alexander IV arrived in this world a few months after the death of his father in 323 BC. His mother was the fiery Roxane from Bactria on the Persian frontier, a wild land of two-humped camels and savage inter-tribal wars. Roxane was a warrior princess who was disgusted that her father had her married off to some swarthy, Greek-speaking foreigner. So much did she loathe her spouse that she tried to murder him on their wedding night — at least according to Oliver Stone's film about the Macedonian bleached-blond beach bum. After that bumpy start, the couple managed to avoid killing each other, at least until they produced a male heir. (more...)

General Sir Arthur William Currie, GCMB, KCB, KGB, was a Canadian Senior officer during World War I. A prolific commander of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, Currie is among the finest Western front commanders in the war and one of the greatest Canadian officers. However, he is more internationally renowned for his world-class embezzlement; also for his hyper-sensitivity regarding his public image. (more...)

  • 46 CE - Pigs lose their wings, rendering them unclean to Jews whose children always fought over pig wings but never pig drumsticks. Matzoh ball soup would never be the same.
  • 906 - Sauerkraut is invented by Germanic tribes. Street vendors will have to wait 200 years before Frankfurt comes up with frankfurters and Wien (Vienna) invents wieners, so they improvise and sell sauerkraut as Christmas tree decorations.
  • 1144 - After careful study, it is found all Finnish cobblers talk like Finnish cobblers. Meanwhile, the rest of Finland decides to talk like pirates, leading to war with Russia.
  • 1733 - Finnish cobblers are mortified to find they were supposed to be making shoes all these years instead of cobblestones. Manolo Blahnik leads them in the wilderness for 40 days and nights and returns with pointy-toed shoes for all.
  • 1960 - Nikita Khrushchev does his best impression of a Finnish cobbler by pounding his shoe on the speaker's podium at the United Nations. A family of rats would later move in, representing the tiny Republic of Togo.
  • 1973 - Forrest Gump visits the White House. President Nixon signs a trade agreement with him, thinking Gump is a Finnish dignitary.
  • 1990 - The US's YF-22, a supersecret spy plane, does not fly for the first time and certainly not over Russia.
  • 1991 - Primitive internet customers experience the first cases of regret after clicking hyperlinks, as images of a man with years of experience behind him circulate.

It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information, so did you know...

This Month's Wit

Writer of the month.png
GlobalTourniquet wins Writer of the Month for September in the typical fashion of some prolific writer who has been abscent for 2 years only to return with bold, new ideas for their writing! It should also be noted apart from the fact he is back that he is talented in what he writes and he does a fine job managing UnNews. So hats off to GlobalTourniquet, may he bring many, exciting articles to Uncyclopedia!

Seriously, we love you.


Noobaward.png
Noob of the Moment is the award that all newbies want and Sinner George has pulled that off excellently (being the second Greek to have this award!) It should be mentioned that his username is deceptive, he is actually a very good George writing new master pieces and getting on well with the dynamics of Uncyclopedia. You should congratulate him on this prestigious honor.

Hats off to you George, may you bbe with us for many months years to come!


BePrepared.png
It is said last months winner has an ego comparable to Napoleon but both of these people are nothing compared to the ego of Frosty, as both winner of Uncyclopedian of the Month (second time!) and the writer of this update he will stain this section with vanity and how wonderful he is. Frosty is a wonderful Uncyclopedian, he is the best, he will crush you all. He has no time for the likes of you and he is the new administrator and unless you worship him he will take you on a free of charge trip on the banwagon!

HEIL FROSTY!
