Silly Syclopedia
by Noah Lott
'Silly Syclopedia' Summary
The 'Silly Syclopedia' is a parody of encyclopedias, with a playful and satirical tone. It presents a seemingly factual compendium of knowledge, but with every entry being deliberately inaccurate and nonsensical. The book is filled with fabricated etymological derivations, absurd definitions, and humorous trivia designed to be completely useless. The author, Noah Lott, claims to be an ex-relative of Noah Webster, adding to the tongue-in-cheek nature of the work. The 'Silly Syclopedia' is a lighthearted exploration of language and knowledge, with a humorous take on the act of seeking information. While it doesn't provide real information, it offers a humorous and witty perspective on the world of facts and knowledge.Book Details
