Please follow these guidelines when submitting facts.
After you've suffered the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune that
is filtering through several hundred submissions a day you'll realize
why I kindly ask you to adhere to these guidelines.
- DO NOT SUBMIT FACTS THAT YOU'VE TAKEN FROM CHUCK NORRIS/VIN DIESEL/MR. T.
- Capitalize everything properly. If your submission lacks proper capitalization, it will be deleted...unless it's really, really, really, really, ridiculously awesome.
- Before you submit anything, ask yourself, "Is this fact funny?
Why should people read this? Did it make me laugh? "Who will
appreciate this?" If the answer is "no" to any of these questions,
don't submit your fact, and instead please walk into moving traffic.
- On this site, there will be only one space after a period. I don't care what you were taught. Continuity is king, and that is the way it will be.
-
If you are including a quote, as in something someone said, a comma goes after "said" and before the quotation. If the quotation goes at the end of a sentence, the period goes inside the quotation.
Example:
My physics teacher once said, "Stop asking me questions or I will kill you."
- If you are using quotation marks to note a term you made up yourself, or something other than dialogue, the period goes outside of the quotes.
- For the love of
God Jack Bauer, use spell check.
- It may take up to a week for your fact to be added and you might not even see it anyway.
- If you don't know the difference between "you're" and "your",
please leave this site and get yourself educated.
- If you don't know the difference between "two", "too", and "to",
get on that.
- Don't submit a fact your friend told you. Chances are that it
already exists and I don't need to read it again.
-
If your fact has any of the following words, or contains any of the
following phrases, it will be deleted before I finish reading it.
- Jack Bauer shot [JR, Kennedy, Lennon, etc...].
- Jack Bauer is.
- Jack Bauer [is, was on, was] the grassy knoll.
- Jack Bauer is right behind you.
- All your base are belong to Jack Bauer
- Any Hitchhiker's Guide references.
- Any Harry Potter references
- Your mom
- "shot", "sheriff", "deputy"
- "shot", "Reno", "man"
- If your fact is written in the first person (for instance,
"I was murdered by the clowns." or "The wolves ate my collection
of used bandages")
- Chances are, if your fact has an exclamation point (!) in
it, it's bad. It won't make it funny.
- DO NOT SEND YOUR FACT MORE THAN ONCE. Spamming the submission form with the same fact over and over
will get you banned from the site.
