I just happened up on these sites, and thought I'd share, since it does have to do (marginally) with writing. The first thing that occurred to me while I was looking them over was "Oh, man...how cool!"

In the Uncyclopedia, you can edit entries about whatever you want, no kidding! The articles that I skimmed through are mostly tongue in cheek, but there's some funny shit in there.

The Undictionary is basically the same thing - word and phrase definitions ranging from bizarre to downright silly.

For example:

Albatross - 1.This is a sexual move done with Jessica Alba. It is very complicated and requires limbic force and the eight-fold path to enlightenment. Often involving several ninjas and a two ton baby elephant, the Albatross is considered extremely dangerous and expensive. Often only the richest of Latin American and South Asian strongmen and dictators have the resources and the iron will to try. 2.The 1968 hit by the British Band, Fleetwood Mac, not to be confused by the American band of the same name. An official enemy of Oscar Wilde.

Got any different definitions? Edit 'em in!

The UnNews is done with the same sort of premise as the Uncyclopedia and the Undictionary - completely made up/manufactured news items. (On the homepage, it's described as "Your source for up to the minute misinformation.")

Have fun. :D
