As we all know, there are lots of references to David Brin in the Wikipedia. But maybe few people know of its counterpart, the Uncyclopedia, which is a satirical version of the Wikipedia:
http://uncyclopedia.org/ There is only one reference, under subject Thor [see below] Alberto Monteiro --- an excerpt of the Unwiki: (...) According to film historian and conspiracy nut David Brin, the instrumental role of Thor was actually played by Thor himself in The Second World War II. In it, he is summoned by Rommel Reagan's crack team of "rufen Sie zusammens" or "Summoners" to defeat the Allies. In a scene without adherence to much logic or thought, Thor is able to sink a fleet of Allied battleships with several well-timed and unnecessary chants of "LIGHTNING BOLT" "LIGHTNING BOLT" "LIGHTNING BOLT" (no doubt a shameless rift on the popularity of the accio firebolt spell in Harry Potter's bag of tricks). According to magicians, who are scientists who study magic (magicists), the scene was really hyperbole and special effects because Thor relies on his giant hammer for such feats. Furthermore, he could only lightning comparable to that of a small Van der Graaf generator, which also explains why he often worked kid's parties during the Great Depression. After smashing success on the Isles and the Caucacus Mountains, Thor is defeated by his half-brother and resistance conspirator Loki, who brainwashes his wife into sex acts with top Nazi brass, and forms the God-Fearing Republicans. Since then, and widely believed to be a Nazi war criminal, Thor has escaped to a quiet life in America, like many other disgraced bastards, such as his former pal Adolf Hitler, Osama Bin Laden and George W. Bush. In seeking amnesty for doing despicable deeds in a fictional piece of work, Thor soon fell back to his old ways by lending his likeness to the aptly-titled Marvel comic Thor. Initial sales were good but quickly tapered off as the novelty of a Nazi Ubermensch wore thin. Readers were not interested in the paper-thin characterizations and invulnerability of Thor. The book was so bad, it made Baby Jesus cry and was universally lauded as the worst comic book based of a Norse figure ever. Once again, nobody gave two shits about Thor, and he was out turning tricks on the street once again.
