• Noom collides with the Earth after much brooding and plotting. He fails to make an impact but nobody cares.
• Benedict Arnold Carver accepts an offer from Kaiser Wilhelm II to become the senior evil scientist of Germany. This appointment later leads to a long standing feud between Benedict Carver and leading German scientist, Count Zeppelin who had been passed over for Carver.
• Grongilax, a highly popular product introduced in 1901, is withdrawn from the market by Amalgamated Poxololeum after it was discovered its side effects included to cause death and the sniffles.

• Los Angeles founded by Mexican revolutionists who came not to steal from gringos at all.
• Loretta B. Peerson publishes a memoir. No one gives a crap.

1911

Contrary to popular belief, the year of 1911 did not in fact occur between the years 1910 and 1912. Due to a strange and elusive property of base ten numbering systems, the number 1911 in fact comes between 2394 and 2395. So that's why in science fiction films, characters are often dressed in styles pertaining to that period of time.

Events

• When the end of 1910 came about and this phenomenon was discovered (as all calendars and timepieces worldwide suddenly said 1912), the leaders of the major world powers and Canada got together and determined that they had to "make a whole bunch of shit up", to quote a fugitive Oscar Wilde, who was also at the meeting. This meeting gave us the currently accepted history of what would have happened in that year, had it come as humans were expecting.

• What will actually happen in the year 1911, some 390 years in the future, has been be prophesized by many, but not Nostradamus, who said the whole thing was just really fucked up. Most say the world will end with the Wrath of Grapes or Dill Pickle Doritos. And most of these predictions are horrible failures, according to the Oscar Wilde who had...or will...or something...used a time loop to write down what happened at the meeting before it happened. According to our Wilde, however, "I don't know what the hell you're talking about!"

Bastard.

• Uganda disappeared for the whole year and could not be smelt. It reappeared next year, though.
• Who the hell writes shit like that? That's not funny in the least.

• Well in fact the class is over.

1912

• The Titanic did the hokey pokey and time traveled to 1932, but encountered Jesus, whereupon it got lost in outer space. The Unstinkable Molly Brown offered no comment (or commitment) whatsoever. The disappearance of the ship was blamed on The Snorks.
• Jesus returned, but was distracted by something shiny until 1932. Thus the end of the world was delayed until said shiny object was put down.
• Former president Theodore Roosevelt ran on a third party ticket, the "Bull Shit Moose Chili" party. He failed to win back the oval office on a third term. That was up to his nephew Franklin Delano Roosevelt to go for four!

1913

• Igor Stravinsky's The Rite Of Spring is first performed in Paris. It is a huge success and nobody riots, not even a little. It was so good that no one listens to it anymore.
• Stavilowognrephisch Mekinshexkvinozik was eaten by a dragon for breakfast. Soon after the dragon died of a strange tounge-twister-itis. His body was flushed through Queen Mary IVIII (R) TM 's toilet.
• The first fully-carpeted coast-to-coast ferret-run opened in the USA.
• Large portions of Thailand and Mongolia were surrounded to Empress Gabor by the 1913 Treaty Of Waffle House.
• Klaus Sanatschen (Santa Claus) was murdered by his Elves on December 24th. To celebrate, the Elves enjoyed the traditional meal of cookies and milk.
• Mae West, Vaudeville and all around luscious woman gains legitimate employment as a lab worker in the practice of a Urologist when she can state "You look like a fine specimin" without fear of reprisal.
• William Shakespeare travels to this year to get George Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, along with his German cousin, William Hohenzollern, to write a sequel to Shakespeare's play, "The Merry Wives of Windsor." Shakespeare tells Mr. Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to start dating Barbara Windsor, and to change his last name from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor. Thus, "The Merry Wives of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha" was born. However, Windsor and Hohenzollern could not decide on a topic. A year later, the two got into a fight over the subject matter of the play. Windsor had more friends on his side, and won the fight. He later said that Hohenzollern could not fight again.

1914

1914 is generally recognized by professional historians as the Year Everything Went to Shit. This was the end of the Belle Epoque (translation: "Epoch of Sexy Babes") and the beginning of the 20th Century Apocalypse, or Age of Barbarianism.

Events

Barbra Tuchman, in her book, August, 1914 (which was originally part 8 of a twelve-volume series) she explains it succintly, using her trademark colloquialisms, in the opening pages of the first chapter:

"Damn, shit was whack. Tha Serbs was all up in Austria's shit 'bout independence, Germany was frontin' like she was some sorta straight-up world powa, France was frontin' like she was gonna knock the Kaiser's teeth out, and Russia was too stoned on that vodka to give a rat's ass. Europe was like a club where a drug deal's goin down and the cops know about it. Shit's about to go down, and everybody in tha club knows it. Alls they can do is either pull out they nine or curl up in the corner like a little bitch, y'heard?"

That guy who keeps cutting in front of you in the movies is born. After realizing his purpose in life he keeps tormenting people by cutting in front of them and indimidates them by kicking you in the shins and hitting on your girlfreind knowing that you cannot fight back because he can kick your ass.

The Austrian Indie Rock International Melee (aka World War I)

The big problem in 1914 was that European countries didn't take their Zoloft. The result wasn't pretty. On June 28, 1914, Austrian Indie rockers Franz Ferdinand left their hotel in Belgrade to play a 'Serbian Independence Benefit' concert (concerts which were common among avant-garde indie musicians of there period). Someone, presumed to be an Austrian secret agent, found them and followed them through corridors and factories as they traveled to the show, at a simple venue in downtown Belgrade known only as 'The Matinee'. The killer found them in the Matinee, the dark of the Matinee, and all of Franz Ferdinand (as well as half the audience) was taken out by a fire bomb that killed the entire band in the initial blast but also set the building aflame. A firefighter dispatched to The Matinee was heard to comment, "This fire is out of control." to which others responded "It's gonna burn this city." Thankfully, the damage to other buildings was minimal, though 'The Matinee' iteslf burned away to the point only forty feet remained. Of what, no one knows.

News of the deaths spread quickly, causing much shock and outrage among both fans of the band and independence activists. The Kaiser had remarked months earlier that the next European war would be fought over 'some damn foolish alt-rock band in the Balkans'. As it turned out, the Kaiser was eerily accurate.

The Chief Kaiser's other prediction that there would be a "riot" as everyday he would be loved less and less was also eerily accurate following the Sailors rioting that ended the war in 1918 and forced the Kaiser to abdicate his throne.

Germany Gets This Party Started

Germany promptly declared war on Serbia when Serbian officials openly criticized Rammstein, and Austria was not far behind when a group of Serbian teenagers formed a Franz Ferdinand cover band. Serbia was promptly terminated by Austria, in particular the famed Bodybuilder's Brigade, which overpowered enemy troops by sheer testosterone overdose. Russia also pulled some crazy shit in East Prussia and got their ass handed to them.

Clobberin' Time

German Super Heroes, most notably the Fantastic 4, were a key force in the early battles against French soldiers, and were largely responsible for the victories (such as the Battle of the Frontiers) that drove the French back almost to the brink of defeat. At the brink of defeat the Frenchmen felt at home and comfortable, and they turned around at the Marne and forced the Germans back. After that things pretty much settled into a rhythm. Everybody dug trenches and hurled crap at each other until everyone felt sick of it (and long afterwards). The nonsense would last for years, as entire cities were built for the sole purpose of fighting the yobs across the border.

Everything Else that Happened in 1914

• The capital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of China was moved from Guilin to Nanning. The Guangxi Autonomous Warlord Association of the Wanking Emperor protested this move, saying that the warlord had no right to move the capital to an outhouse.
• Arthur Price is born in Liverpool, UK.
• World War XVII began as a result of Gavrilo Princip assassinating the Archduke of Austria Franz Ferdinand (who was not an Indie rock band), his wife Sophie, and Satan (Jesus II's cat). Like the 2008 Canadian election, nobody cared.

1915

1915-The Year of the "Tiger vagina-man".

Events

• Lord Kitchener sends 150,000 men to their deaths for no apparent reason.
• Starting in January and ending on the 34th march, there were a series of human men born with a Tiger Vagina.

Located on the forehead, these Tiger Vaginas grew in size, so much in fact that the government set up a facility in Mississippi to contain these Men with abnormal 345 pound tiger vaginas. The scientists studying the Tiger Vagina-men did not realise it was a contagious disease.

The government moved the facility to an American-owned Island about 108 miles off the coast of New York State.

Eventually the disease evolved and became airborne in fact passing by ships. The Government realised the menace and nuked the Island and killed off the disease.

Even though the Tiger Vagina-men should be gone from this earth, there have been sightings of a small group of them wandering in the mountains on the small island.

~ YHWH

1920

The 20s (pronounced "twenties") saw a massive upsurge in drug abuse, making them definitively better than the 30s. The difference in public order offences from the 20s to the 10s was remarkable.

The second half of the 20s (still pronounced "twenties", even towards the end of the decade) revelled in the emergence of the flapper - young ladies with fashionably short haircuts who had their knees replaced with universal joints to as to allow leg pointing through a 360 degree arc in all directions.

Also a perfect roll on a dice with 20 sides.

To say that 1920 was a year full of pestilence, famine and poor quality candyfloss would be a severe understatement. To say it was the 'bomb', a awesome roller-coaster of mind blowing events, and most definitely the best year in existence would obviously be a huge overstatement. In order to burn away this grandiosity that is a sad trait of many contemporary writers, careful deliberate dissection is needed.

So settle in readers, find your monocle, take a small sip out of your brandy glasses and tell your wife to bake some crumpets.

Events

Pre-history

Before 1920 the world had been through a difficult time. The divorce of man and nature had been long and ugly and mans latest mistress, the industrial revolution, had turned out not to be the submissive japanese schoolgirl man dreamed of. Instead man was locked in an awkward foxtrot with the school mistress, all 180 pounds of man-hating, whip-wielding, bearded feminazi. Belching out putrid smoke, forcing large families to live in cardboard boxes, biting heads off innocent seals, inventing communism and eroding the class divides were just some of the atrocities of this period.

Man and his sidekick Civilization were certainly without a paddle, and with power being quickly vested in the masses of illiterate fools, something desperate had to be done. 'We need a plan with balls' said Man, 'definitely balls, one that will donkey punch the lower classes and the revolution back to last century'. But the Eton and Oxford schooling failed them at this most crucial moment, and all they could do was organise a game of polo followed by a 13 course meal, a game of a whist and a shag of the maid. The decline of society continued with little resistance ...

1920

So the situation looks bleak. Everyone is covered with a layer of coal dust and communism is 'cool' with young urban socialites. Man and Civilisation are dead drunk and have run out of snuff. Their meager possessions consist of 2 ponies, 14 pheasants, 1 maid, half a large testicle, a half used cigar, a mansion worth 4 pounds 5 shillings 3 pence and the blueprints of a utopian society. Yes, things were not good at all.

But over the course of 1920 a small but significant shift in society would occur. A plan would be formed. A plan with balls. A plan that would make heroes of men, middle class whingers of commoners and put the women's liberation movement back 60 years. Oh well, you can't make an omlete without breaking eggs. Unless you're a vegan, in which case you may have to make up another analogy. How about: You can't make tofu without crushing soybeans? You can? Really? Damn. Well, you get the idea anyway.

In early January, Civilisation and Man woke up from their moderate hangovers and felt the inevitable grip of middle age crisis. Desires for red sports cars,breast implants and younger attractive women swept over them and they were forced to eat a wheel of brie to calm down.
