THE INTERNETS -- In a lover's revenge of the internet era, the founder of Uncyclopedia has seen his clothes apparently auctioned on eBay by a hamster he dumped using his own online encyclopedia.

The spat started after technology gossip websites quoted Instant Messaging transcripts that suggested Chron "Chron" Chronarion used his official Uncyclopedia power to redraft the online biographies of a woman, two men, a hamster and an unnamed piece of stationary who later became his lovers.

It sparked debate over whether Mr Chronarion had violated his own "fundamental Uncyclopedian principle" of Don't Be a Dick.

The hamster, who cannot be named for legal reasons, hit out at its former lover. "I thought he was different, we really hit it off. To find out that I'd been dumped via Uncyclopedia was just nasty and uncalled for."

"In a totally unrelated matter I'd like to inform your viewers about a number of Chronarion's items I am currently selling via eBay, as well as a 27 minute clip of our love-making viewable on both my MySpace page and YouTube. You can read all the details on my latest blog..." squeaked the diminutive rodent.
