The goal of this project is to provide misinformation in a satirical and humourous way. Entries tended to be short and random in its infancy. The current partially successful trend at Uncyclopedia is to make all entries very developed and polished. This includes pictures, and even sound bites. Random humor is also on the wane, with preferred articles containing a novel or subtle blurring of the truth. Users wanting to write random humour may try [[Illogicopedia]] instead. | The goal of this project is to provide misinformation in a satirical and humourous way.
