A lot of it is disgruntled young people encouraged by Stewart and Colbert for the lulz.

There's no way Paul takes nearly a fifth of the popular vote running as a libertarian.

Odd, I got that message too. I searched the page and couldn't find anything on it that might be dangerous. There's not even any links.

It's quite a bit ASB, of course. I blame a bit of tiredness. Half of that could be theoretically plausible given the right conditions and a fair amount of luck. This one is better bit still overstated:

Follow-up to the last one:

Here's the infobox for a rogue colonel who fled from a murder charge by the Army during the Vietnam War and was killed mysteriously in Cambodia a couple of months later.

Ian Hislop as PM - That would be funny

Thanks for making the same point that was made an hour and a half before you!

Nice, though I doubt he'd still be editor of the Private Eye. Some may claim he's using it as a propaganda tool.

I've created one of these info boxes, now let's see if PB will host it without fecking up the quality

Oh wow, that did it to me too...I don't know why though. :/

All the other pages seem to be working fine...so I guess just avoid page 2.

Ah, Kurtz... The Sternberg of Vietnam. Thankfully, only fictional.

Here's Custer from TL-191.

Note: I was too lazy to dig up a passable old Custer look-alike from WWI and too bad at photoshop to make one.

OK, so I've got the hang of doing Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes, but for the love of fecking money, one simple problem is plauging me. I'm doing an Alternate Wikipedia Infobox on a popstar and I can't get the 'Cause of Death' tab-thingy to appear. Can someone help me out with this?
