BJAODN

WP:BAD

This is one of the oldest pages on Wikipedia. Here is the original explanation:

We need a page where bad jokes and other deleted nonsense can rest in peace. So, here it is! [I'm half tempted to suggest keeping the jokes inline with the pages, as they must sorta give the encyclopedia some lively color. But I do know it'd just get carried away and turn into an encyclopedia of silliness, so look forward to frequent updates of this page. ;-) ]

Bad jokes are never kept on Wikipedia under the guise of real encyclopedia articles. Occasionally Wikipedians lose their mind (especially on April Fool's Day) and if their posts are good they wind up here. Silliness can come in the form of creativity, insanity, or just boredom. Often it seems a shame to delete the best of this humor which has been submitted to us under the GFDL, and thus this page continues on and on.

When deciding whether to add something to BJAODN, please take to heart what Polonius said in Hamlet :

Brevity is the soul of wit.

Or even better, please remember the version from The Simpsons :

Brevity is ... wit.

Or remember the best version:

Brev. = wit.

User:Shalom/Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense

"This is a personal collection of pages that belonged in Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense before that project was suspended in May 2007. I will always use diffs (or at least links) and formal page-moves in order to comply with the GFDL. Even though BJAODN has now returned, I will continue to forward BJAODN that I find to this page. Any editor may add entries provided that they obey the GFDL as above." - Shalom Hello 15:58, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Greatest Hoax of All Time

Of course it's true. Fox said so.

...and cribbing the answers from Wikipedia is just as reliable.

This page was created by a single user, tjproechel, and was active for a little more than two weeks. Its fictional nature was only discovered when no google search results were found for the Upper Peninsula War.This page is not so much funny, as truly brilliant.

The Upper Peninsula War

The longest-standing hoax?

Article Dušan Jocić was created in August 2005, as a fairly obvious thing made up in school one day. During the course of time, several wikipedians in good standing improved the article, so the end result looked far more plausible, while suspicion of hoax by an anonymous editor was quickly reverted as vandalism. It finally got deleted in July 2007.

Porchesia

Commemorated at The Porchesian Holocaust, a featured Uncyclopedia classic in its own right. RIP.
