Not that our wiki should have too many of these as it defeats the informative nature of our site, but, damn, if you haven't clicked on the article link for Cylons on Unencylopedia, please do so. That is the ANTI-wiki site where misinformation is not only allowed, but encouraged. I think I busted a tear gland reading a couple of entries there. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 18:06, 25 October 2005 (EDT)

:Those are hilarious "articles," thanks for the heads up on that one. It may have been a Freudian slip, however, I think you meant UnenCYCLOpedia, not UnenCYLO(N)pedia. ;) --[[User:MASON|Mason]] 23:33:25, 2005-10-25 (EDT)

Does anybody think we should upload an image of an actual toaster to illustrate this page? I know a lot of the contributors here seem to be fairly serious individuals, but if someone could do it I think it would be cute. Just a pic of an actual chrome toaster - it'll be great, I think.

I've found one that's nondescript enough: (which was removed and uploaded to the Wiki--Spencerian)

Spencerian, do what you've got to do!

Adorable. --Peter Farago 22:06, 7 October 2005 (EDT)

The Toaster is watching all of us, and waiting for its time to return home. Spencerian 22:27, 7 October 2005 (EDT)

I really think the character box itself is overboard and must go, though the other in article stuff as well as picture can stay.---Ricimer, October 8, 2005
Yeah, okay. --Peter Farago 10:48, 8 October 2005 (EDT)
The character box is perfect for a page that's certainly never going to grow larger. It's arguably the most humorous article we have. I think it really livens up the thing, especially considering it's supposed to be a racial epiphet. Silly page, right? Before we ransack it, let it sit for a bit and get a group consensus. If the majority's a bit too anal about it, we make the change. Spencerian 11:41, 8 October 2005 (EDT)
It was only meant to be a word defination page, exactly like the "frak" page. We are not trying to "liven things up" so much as we are striving for accuracy.---Ricimer, October 8, 2005
You have a point, albeit tenuous for this one page. Let's let consensus work here for a few days. If Peter, of ALL people, finds the site humorous enough to create a category for future pages, then others may find it enjoyable enough. Besides, the information there remains accurate, and a BSG toaster "is" really a Cylon (just not the bread-using kind). And, frankly, Ricimer, I know this article was good for me as you and Jzanjani's antics haven't made me laugh much in the last few days. I don't know, maybe the "frak" page could use a little levity...heh-heh. And, let's see what Joe says about it. Spencerian 12:02, 8 October 2005 (EDT)
