The title of the article changed to "God" for some reason.

I was expecting something more "out there", it didn't even appeal to me that the title was vandalism, although i was confused by it. -__-

The slight amount of Italian in this reply made me happy. Completely off-topic, but true. Studio l'italiano.

Besides, the fact that they shut down all elephant-related entries because Colbert said to change it, followed by thousands of vandalisms, struck me as more amusing.

Last I checked, African Elephants was still locked.

The $ shot!!!!!

When's Colbert getting his own holiday, anyway?

Wait a minute ... holiday = holy day, right?
So ... Independence Day/Fourth of July is a holy day?
Hmmm ... Establishment Clause redux?

Tell me that's not your tautology talking.

I saw it, but i didn't do much else after seeing it.
Perhaps God does play dice with the universe?

Yeah, Colbert's The Word segment one night instructed viewers to change the entry for African Elephants to say that their numbers had tripled over the last ten years.

Subsequently, thousands of people edited pretty much any entry in Wikipedia that related to African Elephants, Africa, Elephants, etc.

It caused massive entry locks.

Hilarious.

He does, and he's quite bad at it too. As far as I can remember, he still owes me a pineapple for losing.

God called boxcars and got snakeeyes?

Cool.
Kinda reminds me of that whole issue of losing to the iron chariots.
Or - God and ADD ... or EVEN ... God as Alanis Morissette trying to do a handstand against a tree?

Oh give up. You've lost 27 games in a row now, and counting. If this goes on, I'm going to win your kingdom!

Hmmm...God = hyperactive child and Alanis Morissette = reincarnation of Eve?

Eve ... or even, Lilith.

Hmmm ... God took it as the feminine form in order to propegate the species.
Groovy.

Hey, I'm just letting you win a few to show that I'm not bending the laws of space, time, logic, and sense to win.

I'm not hyperactive...I just had a couple of Pixy Stix before the Creation...Heh. Six days, no sleep. That was great. I passed out for like, 200 years after that.

You're so right ... the word was murmured breathily into the sweaty ear of Adam during that dark conjugative night in the cave, after God slipped him the date-rape nectar.
And ever since, man's been trying to climb back in.
Even .... no one's compared in the sack since, which COULD be why men are so easily distracted by so many different places to find it. Indeed, why do you think "God" gets yelled out so often during the act? :D

I liked "figuratively" a little better, kinda like the majority of the early parts of the "holy" book.

One of the things wrong with the world today is that people being assholes are considered hilarious..
Me, I'd rather see all vandals shot. (Also, I'll redesignate spamming as "vandalising my mailbox". Kill two birds in one stone.)
