So, as a counterpoint to the other thread, this is where we talk about entries that we find incredibly amusing and intelligent. To start us out, I present the entirety of Real Life, which had me cracking up when I first read it.

Who cares if this is a double-post.

I think it's supposed to be entries from the TVT wiki.

[up]It is. I do believe, however, that there is a page for humorous textbook entries, so you're welcome to go add them there, if my memory is not betraying me.

And if I claim to be a wise man, well, it surely means that I don't know.

At one point, James Earl Jones remarked on how his royal marriage had been arranged. So the codified Zamundan monarchy went back at least three generations. That means Zamunda was a monarchy at least as far back as the end of World War One. Once the Ottoman Empire royalty was broken, old-style monarchy slowly disappeared from Darkest Africa. But in this world, the Zamundan not only survived amongst post-colonial dictatorships and nascent plutocracies, it flourished. And it retained a strict European-style royal court, which held real power. Arsenio Hall may be a bit of a Upper Class Twit and a Right Hand Hottie, but he expects to be the right hand of the king of an entire country. That's some Borgia-level shit.

From the Coming To America page. The fact that somebody made a detailed analysis of a possible alternate history and then ended it in shit.

This response to a Resolved Headscratcher for Homestuck:

Why is Kanaya lesbian-themed if she's a Virgo? I know they both sex-related but sheesh...

The sarcasm combined with the idea of being "lesbian-themed" is way too good.

  • Okay. So why is Limbo full of singing bugs? I mean, it would make some sort of sense if they were realistically-sized insects infesting Rasputin's rotting body, but they're not. They're bat-sized... things... that just happen to hang around between Earth and Hell. What are they doing there?

    • Singing and dancing.

The most recent edit to Conspiracy Theories:

"Pretty much every election in history has been claimed to be rigged, more so if it was a very close one. We're not going to list them all, because then we'd be here until the Whigs controlled Congress again."

Not from this wiki, but the Bad English page on This Might Be a Wiki (the They Might Be Giants wiki) is hilarious in that so much of the stuff people have contributed to there seems to ignore the concepts of artistic license and slang (especially in regard to the dialect of New Yorkers). The worst, though, is this entry:

  • The Songs Of The 50 States - "I ain't gonna say they ain't" - Properly speaking, it should be "I'm not gonna say they aren't".

Who says They Might Be Giants fans can be pretentious at times?

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.

I got a kick out of this one (from Some Dexterity Required):

Quoted from the above link, for 'Quadruple bucky':
"One accepted technique was to press the left-control and left-meta keys with your left hand, the right-control and right-meta keys with your right hand, and the fifth key with your nose."

From the Monopoly page:

At least one game of Monopoly you play in your life will devolve into an argument about the rules, and then into an argument about who lost the rule sheet.
