new featured article!

filed under: featured — rcmurphy @ 22:01

Okay guys, today you get the usual bidaily update of the featured article. Here comes the synopsis!

The streets of Laredo are a collection of avenues, boulevards, parkways, and other thoroughfares in the city of Laredo, Texas, USA. They are known for their grid pattern, flat nature, and proximity to the city of Nuevo Laredo in neighbouring Mexico.

The streets of Laredo are paved with asphalt, while some outer roads are mere concrete or gravel-like paths. All registered vehicles in Laredo ideally drive on these streets, as do segues, blood donation trailers and ice-cream carts which have differing licensing schemes. Pedestrians use these streets for going from one place to another in Laredo, although they usually keep to the sidewalk.

Most streets have two lanes while bigger streets have multiple lanes. Notable thoroughfares in Laredo can even have up to eight lanes, and are considered among the most consequential streets of Laredo. Most of the streets of Laredo are fronted by buildings with street addresses. Some, however, are fronted only by vacant lots. All the streets of Laredo are at surface level minus underpasses, dug-in roads, overpasses and tunnels. (Full article...)

Benjamin Franklin: founding father, inventor, politician, passionate kite-flier, and self-proclaimed King of Rhyme. In short, a true Renaissance man.

announcing monthly awards

filed under: users — chronarion @ 22:01

Congratulations for April's Writer and Noob of the Month!

Holy cock! We may have forgotten to update these over these last few months. The days we missed could be counted as few as if at all. We have just updated this since last May. How awesome!

So basically, let's get to business. Take off your pants; IFYMB! wins Writer of the Month for September 2014. His hit singles include the frankly libellous UnNews:Nude photos of celebrities leaked, the almost-topical UnDebate:What does the fox say? and the spiritually upliftingUnNews:Thursday is a dirty whore.

Let us all clap for him because I said so.

Do not pull your pants up just yet. We got a Uncyclopedian of the Month award winner up in here! Give it up for Leverage!

Since there is no winner for the Noob of the Moment, you are all now noobs. There are a couple of long-running nominations, but they are stuck there, like foetuses in suspended animation, and I fear for their souls.
