Whatever happened to this site? I remember when I was younger and this was my first Popculture website prior to being exposed to syd. (That sounds kinky) It was also mentioned in EGM, before it became a bloated corpse of a magazine...
But anyways, this is a good site that has been inactive for over 4 years now. Most of the links still work and from a foreigner point of view, it's kinda hilarious!

This site reminded me of Encyclopedia Obscura when I first found it. Except way better.

It seemed like after his walking stick defense article, the author just... dissappeared

Their forum isn't very active either. I've never heard of it but I'm gonna check it out.

Actually from what I can tell, the author of Encyclopedia Obscura spent more time working on pieces for I-Mockery than his own site, and then just... disappeared. However, there's one thing he did with RoG from I-Mockery that kinda made me laugh, and it was the Law Strips for Kids.

Not only is that not right, that's not even wrong. It's a meaningless statement. Saying something is "one molecule away" from plastic is like saying a farm is one letter away from a fart. Water is "one molecule away" from being explosive hydrogen gas.
