That said, the Contradictionary is known to be an extremely funny dictionary,

[edit]

Non-NPOV?

If the example with the infinite loop is the funniest from the book, it's also kind of preposterous to name it in the same breath as Ambrose Bierce... -- Syzygy (talk) 06:52, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I deleted "excellent" from the first ¶, which should also address that concern. — ℜob C. alias ᴀʟᴀʀoʙ 00:50, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

The link to "The Court Jester of Computerdom" is dead. I couldn't find a replacement link. --Zom-B (talk) 18:32, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I excised it. It didn't contribute too much to the article anyway, and the book itself is easy enough to find on Amazon. -- Syzygy (talk) 08:27, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I restored it. It was a reference. Internet archives exist. - Altenmann >t 15:45, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The link is still dead as a dodo. There may be an archived version somewhere, but it's not where the link points at. -- Syzygy (talk) 07:50, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Here is a valid Archive.org link for the page http://web.archive.org/web/19970222035805/http://www.ercb.com/brief/brief.0026.html . Can this be added as a reference? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.236.194.242 (talk) 18:27, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for finding that. I've added that to the reference. -- Whpq (talk) 19:00, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
