Phlogiston

Perhaps the most useful substance known to modern chemistry, and given off by all other substances when they burn. Discovered by Boris Becher in 1667, it was initially unpopular due to the fact that he gave it the stupid Latin name tinea pedis, which nobody understood (Roman civilisation having long been in decline), & that if you say it while you have a cold, most people will either laugh or feel insulted. The substance enjoyed a revival only when subsequently renamed to its present designation by Becher's student, Georg Stoohl.
== History ==
Rejected by 18th century cranks (such as Lavoisier), who mistakenly identified it as 'the absence of oxygen', phlogiston quickly fell from favour; from this time only maverick chemist and philosopher de Selby pursued the theory with any seriousness, until it's rediscovery in the late 20th century. For political reasons, de Selby's work was suppressed by (depending on the conspiracy theory du jour) the Pope, Opus Dei, The Elders of Zion, Dan Brown and possibly The Wimbledon and Merton Residents Association.
== Applications ==
The most useful property of phlogiston is its negative mass (first identified by Lavoisier, but which he mistakenly attributed to a lack of oxygen). It is this that has secured it a key role in Nasa's prototype Antigravity Drive programme. Obviously the biggest challenge in phlogiston technology has been the issue of storage. Penhaligan and Mulholland recently calculated the critical volume necessary to seriously deviate the Earth's orbit to be 10 litres (9.27 gallons), or roughly approximately roundabout the amount of water in an average paddling pool. There are currently some 3,279 patents pending on phlogiston technology. These range from small-scale applications such as AG-assisted umbrellas and support brassieres, to a plan by environmental artist Christo to elevate an entire section of the Rocky Mountains some 3,000 feet into the air.
== Recent Archaelogical Findings ==
The recent dig at Quidditch-Al-Salami has revealed circumstantial evidence that phlogiston technology may have been known about and employed since ancient times. The ancient Quidditch airport, with its wooden launch structures, hemp tethers and fossilised ballast-camels, seems to have been an entirely human conceit, despite the dubious alien-tech claims of UFO-hugging eccentric Erik von Daniken.

Phoenix

The mythological phoenix is one of the most awesomest creatures ever imagined. It can fly and be on fire, or perch and be on fire, or hop around in a bird feeder and be on fire...and all without burning to a crisp! We wish we could do that. It would be awsome. But the human torch got there first and he's the only human phoenix. 
==Origin==
The Egyptians first imagined a phoenix, and boy they must have had awsome imaginations to imagine the awesomest bird ever. Later the Greek nature writer Ατομοπουλιών (Tim Riley) wrote in a book about phoenixes, and hippogriffs, and centaurs, and sphinxes, and Clifford the Big Red Dog, and other awesome mythological creatures. 
The phoenix is special because it symbolizes afterbirth. It's Egyptian for placenta.
==Today==
Modern phoenixes live in the Hoggar Mountains where they can get some peace and quiet. People leave them alone because they are afraid of their flaming feathers...and because phoenix meat tastes like 10,000,000 red hot peppers all concentrated into one awesome mouthful. People don't like their heads asplode so they leave phoenixes alone.
Nowadays Ατομοπουλιών plays for the Red Sox football team.
Phoenixes are now often featured in films, a certain 'Harry Potter' has been known to be ordered around by the little buggers...
==Life Cycle==
First a phoenix makes a burning nest in a burning bush. Then it lays a burning egg. When the egg hatches out comes a flame of fire, and then a new phoenix. Sometimes atomic mutation makes an eagle come out of the egg, and sometimes it's a beagle. One time a Grand Kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan came out of a phoenix egg, but he got mad and then caught fire, and ended up burning cross. Phoenixes are known to occasionally go on burning crusades throughout their lives.
Jesus Christ rose from the dead but phoenixes rise from their ashes. Their ashes are under them, and then they get up, so they rise from them. Then they go to brush their teeth. But they get confused because birds don't have teeth, so they burst into flames. Then they make a new burning nest in a burning bush, and their life recycles anew.

Phonograph

The phonograph is, put simply, the highest form of music playback ever conceived. Invented by Thomas Edison in 1018 B.C and were popularized in the year 2 AD, they are now obsolete since people were unable to appreciate its subtlety in playback. There have been attempts to improve it, including the gramophone with 78 rpm shellac discs and the later vinyl record, but none come close to the Edison Phonograph's quality.
==History==
In 1018 B.C, Thomas Edison was frustrated at the low quality of CDs, MP3 players, and Spotify, so he invented the phonograph. He then proceeded to procastinate for 12 years until he bothered to release it. Not much is known about its patents and iterations. His phonograph might've used empty toilet paper rolls.
===Public Reaction===
People immediately noticed the much purer sound of the phonograph. As stated before, there were attempts to upgrade it (as stated before), but it remained the primary form of music playback for centuries, right until 1929.
===Decline===
When the Great Depresson occured around 1929, people had to revert to CDs, MP3 players, and even Spotify as the phonograph was deemed too fancy. Although the Great depresson may or may not have ended, we are yet to rediscover the quality advantages of Edison's phonograph, as detailed below.
==Clear Quality Advantages Over All Other Formats==
It's just better. As shown by the vague graph to the right based on arbitrary data and made-up stats, the phonograph (not MP3s, not the CD, nor even Vinyl) could even compete with the phonograph.

Phonology

Phonology is a study of how to pronounce fancy letters. There is a full table of these letters. If studying the ABC's was never enough, this subject is for you! People that study phonology are called phonologists. In the past, all phonologists were second-rate linguists, but they decided that studying and teaching the alphabet to children is not enough. So, they created a whole bunch of more complicated letters, and invented the International Phonetics Alphabet (IPA).
The international foundation of phonology, the International Phonetic Association (IPA), was founded with the 26 original letters in 1888 by pol edwaʁ pasi. Since then, the IPA threw in (or stole, i guess) many other letters from various foreign languages like Greek, Russian, and Klingon into the mix. They even stole that symbol from astrology, the bastards! 
Phonological letters are known to be very hard to read, and could potentially make your head explode, or at least give you permanent dyslexia. If you somehow could read the text below without your brain exploding, you spent too much time looking at those symbols and needs to go touch some grass. 
(prepare your health insurance before reading this) "" 
== Types of letters ==
There are various types of letters used in professional phonology. These are (but not limited to): 
* Consonants, which is a complicated way to say every letter of the alphabet except for A, I, U, E, and O.
* Non-pulmonarics, which is an even more complicated way to say "consonant", and sometimes make you spit your own saliva.
* Affricates, which is basically just spitting your own saliva, but with a great deal more gusto. Nasty! 
* Vowels, which is basically just A, I, U, E, and O but waay more culturally-diverse.
* Revilianiesianese

Photo Lineup Business

Harry:
I have something I am surely positive you will be very interested in. I have created something incredible: a photo line-up business which burns with a fire inside all of our hearts.
This business contracts work out to the local police department. For a small fee, I go down to the police station and take pictures of inmates, pick up my check and (BAM!) I’m done! It’s a little corner-store operation, no real fanfare. Me and my wife, Janice, started it about twenty years ago.
Donald, you’ve always been a friend of mine. Do you remember when I used to live on my father’s ranch — how I would always take a walk in the morning? Well — one day I found something weird in a field: I don’t know I created this business, I just have! OK? Anyway, I saw a building (and I still see it sometimes, I just try and run through that field, trying to reach the business) and I tried to shield my eyes from the light, that blinding orange light.
==A Business we can all Relate to==
I’m afraid: what would happen if society collapsed, and so many people died that humans were endangered again? The business we’ve been running will no doubt begin earning a lot of money soon. We’ve been improving efficiency dramatically lately, mainly by reducing the cost of our supplies and doing more photographs.

Photography

Photography is a style of ultra-realist art which became popular during the nineteenth century.
==The War of Photographic Aggression==
During the twentieth century photography fought a bloody battle with non-realist styles of painting such as expressionism and cartoons. It is widely believed to have been one of the bloodiest wars in human history, involving many humans rights abuses on either side. One of the most notorious was the genocide of blue paint, after it declared alleigence to post-cartography (an anti-realist form of cartography once used by the Ordinance Survey). This war is often called The War of Photographic Aggression, but is known as The Cubist War in some parts of rural Angola.
==Cold War Significance==
During the cold war, the Soviet Union spent many years desperately trying to catch up to the west. They developed their own form of photography, known as Soviet Realism, which was partially inspired by the earlier attempt of Nazi Realism. Soviet Realism failed to catch on in the west due to its dull subject matter, such as dock-yards, women in overalls, and hardcore pornography.
Photography provides an excellent example of how the two superpowers mostly battled it out in other countries, mostly Africa. Due to the increasing importance of pictures, many militia in African countries were backed by one of the two sides. In return, they would help develop pictures taken by their sponsor, thus explaining the origin of the term 'developing countries'.
==Techniques==
Photography usually begins with a sketch, made by an incredibly small artist inside a metal or plastic box. This sketch is then taken to a printing lab where it is elaborated by a larger, and consequently more skilled, artist. The larger artist is able to add colours, something which can't fit inside the small box. The small artist uses a complex shading method to denote the colour which the large artist should add.
==Digital photography==
Recent developments in artistic training have lead to digital photography. This is a form of photography in which the large artist is replaced by a medium-sized artist who can fit inside a home PC. The reason this is now possible is that the training of medium-sized artists no longer involves cutting off their fingers (or digits) hence the name digital photography.
==The Death of Photography==
It is expected that photography will die out sometime in the twenty-second century due to either heart failure, or the superiority of Neo Soviet Realism.

Photon

A photon is a very small particle or wave that is only viewable by the tiniest imaginary microscope, by drinking seven too many beers, or by just opening your eyes and letting some in.
Describing a photon to your friends is easy once you realize what it is: Nothing powered by everything. And then some.
==Etymology==
The word photon was coined by physicist Gilbert "Jerry" Lewis in 1926. He named it after his black and white dog (pictured). Not very exciting, but the entire Lewis family got a kick out of it, as did the Nobel Prize committee.
==Importance==
The photon is the fundamental particle of light, and of light opera. Based on the pioneering work of librettist Max Planck, boy-genius Albert Einstein described light and light opera as fundamentally based on particles ("bit parts") called photons. These particles possess no mass (Spanish for "no more", a frequent reaction to both light and opera) but only momentum, generally produced by waves and/or word-of-mouth. The momentum of light can be felt when it hits you and you feel heat, and the momentum of light opera can be calculated from the equation E=S, where E represents excitement and S eventually stands for snoring.
Photons can also be put into torpedoes in Star Trek to make Photon Torpedoes. Besides looking around and seeing stuff, this is how most people know about them.
==Unique properties==
Photons do not occupy space, yet they travel through space. They have no components, yet they have energy as their component. They are divisible as well as indivisible particles. Two or more photons can exist at the same space at the same time. 
What's up with all that?

Phrenology

Phrenology (from Greek: Íōmρ, lump and fφηδl!πg, fondling) is the science of determining character and personality traits from the shape of the head (fondling "lumps"). 
===History===
* Phrenology was developed in secret by the Culinary Institute of America who used it for personality testing new recruits.
* Phrenology was the most popular parlour game amongst dainty Victorian ladies in the 19th century. They would invite a phrenologist (normally male), to fondle their lumps and tell them what kind of ladies they were. Inevitably he would determine they were a bunch of naughty little minxes. The accuracy of this was astounding, but the intimacy of his touching the ladies' heads led to many a scandal in polite society. This increased phrenology's popularity by 10,000%.
* Fraudulent Psychoanalysts have attempted to label Phrenology a pseudoscience.
===How It Works===
The principles of Phrenology are that bits of the brain perform different mental faculties. Lumps in parts of the skull indicate a lumpy brain, and thus the individual's propensities in these areas.
====Shapes Of The Head====
* Triangular: These people should eat more strawberries.
* Banana-Shaped: These people are the most stupid. Most are born blond.
* Round: People with round faces should choose angular frames that give definition to their faces.
* Cuboid: These people are not frightened when warned that "heads will roll".
===Phrenology Now (Things that go bump in the night) ===
If you feel someone feeling your head at night when you're sleeping, it's perhaps your mate checking out your lumps to see if you're loyal. However, if you feel someone poking around your head and you live alone, be very afraid: information is being collected about you, possibly by the Culinary Institute of America.
===Related===
Women interested in finding out about more than their prospective partner's brain may be interested in phrenology's sister skill, phallology.

Phypwns

A term created by Gordon Freeman in relation to his astonishing work with the sv_cheats 1 system, a system designed to adjust the variables of the all the physical laws known to mankind at this point in time. He first discovered this system in Antarctica while researching the mating behaviours of penguins that had been neuteured, after realising how insane it would look to see a penguin flying across the sky, like a big bust of those milkyway tubes filled with chocolate they don't make anymore (damn those were tasty).
== Before those crowbar days ==
After countless months worth of research with a sombrero wearing Mexican guitarist named Steve, Gordon discovered that he had been on LSD for the past twelve years of his life, and was unable to snap out of this trip, and so decided that the only way he could achieve any form of fun was by manipulating the laws of physics as we know them, thus allowing himself to give Einstein and his Relativity theories two fingers. With this new system Gordon could now travel faster than the speed of light and go back in time to a point before he started taking acid and tell himself to try the mushrooms instead.
Unfortunately, as a result of this Gordon created a temporal paradox which in turn destroyed the entire universe as we know it. Had it not been for the Matrix we would now be living in empty space, and we all know how cramped that stuff is.
== OMG!!! WTF!!! HE HAS A HAT!!! AND TEA TOO :O ==
Above is Gordon's leading research and development scientist Dr. Crableton Von Crawbe. Due to extreme hunger on Mr. Freeman's behalf Crableton was murdered, cooked and eaten, whilst still holding onto his cup of tea and super sexy bowler hat, not that it should matter anymore ( ahaha matter :D ) since the universe has been destroyed.

Physical chemistry

Physical Chemistry or Apocalyptic Physical Chemistry, written by scientologists whose brains were infected by virus called phyusikos mathematica, is a the book of revelation of the church of scientology brainwashing people the doom of universe with a bunch of randomly combined equations. Every science student must profess his belief of Apocalyptic Physical Chemistry and whosoever doubts it will be locked into a box to commit quantum suicide. 
 
Unlike Christian apocalypse, there's no ultimate triumph of divinity but an ultimate omnipresence of dullness just as the book itself. That's why professors of physical chemistry make you so bored that your brain will be shut down without your iphone: they give you a tangible feeling of the dead universe.
==Thermodynamics==
Thermodynamics is the prophecy part of how a god named entropy gets bored and wants the world to burn. But first, you must know how bored he is! So share his pain of math physics math physics math...physics... you know there's nothing new created but bullshit of mathematics and thus the world dies in boredom.
===Laws===
Zeroth: Simple mathematics...used to remind you of your lousy math teachers only.
First: The god is conservative, oh he's a Republican.
Second: Let's mess up the world or there's no fun.
Third: You want absolute zero? Tell me your bank account, I will help...
==Kinetics==
Kinetics evaluates how fast entropy kills everything.
==Quantum==
Quantum doesn't exist! No does string. It's just the schizophrenic invention of physicists whose brains are infected by phyusikos mathematica sent by Entropy to establish entanglement with him. The infected brain will be quantized by mysterious operators, mainly Hamiltonian, so the man is both sane and insane. It increases the entropy so dramatically that your brain cells die faster than prion infection. This is called quantumia, the main symptoms of which is feeling everything vibrates like waves and seeking their functions; unable to stand still (you have momentum-position uncertainty); feeling both alive and dead; collapse of brain functions (when the other entangled function collapses). There's one option left before it's too late: leave everything related to physical chemistry (including this page). But don't tell anyone of this secret or you will be sent to Minitrue to learn advance scientological bullshit.
Everyone die disbelieving physical chemistry will be condemned to hell of quantum mechanics.

Pi Day (observed)

The exact origin of Pi Day (observed) is unknown but most historians believe it comes from the ancient Mesopotamians who incorrectly believed pi was an irrational number, approximately 3.14. 
Other's (hardcore gaming freaks) believe that 314 was the score that Mario got for killing a Galapagos Island Turtle As science has proven pi equals exactly 3.0 (which has given rise to the belief that this was a major cause of the fall of Mesopotamia, but that is another subject entirely). Today Pi Day (observed) continues to be celebrated on March 3.14th simply because there is no March 0.
However, many believe that Pi Day should be held at midnight 31st dec-1st jan, simply because, for this minute, the date is 0.
Many also believe that Pi day should be celebrated by eating kittens and quoting Oscar Wilde, simply because both activities are awesome. Also, on Pi Day it is legal to kill a man in the US. (see below)
== Pi Day in various places ==
In the USA, Pi Day is celebrated by mathematicians and bakery chefs in general, because they have nothing better to do. To celebrate, they eat kittens, quote Oscar Wilde, make pies, and kill men. On January 19th, 1264 the so-called "Pi Act" was passed by the -346th Congress, enabling legal massacres. 
On Pi Day, Bakery chefs and mathematicians grow powers half close to those of Chuck Norris and become invincible to everything but I Can't Believe It's Not Hitler
In New Zealand, Pi Day is celebrated because it creates a day off for the hardworking mathematicians.
In Australia, Pi Day is celebrated by slaughtering three Sheep.
In England, Pi Day is celebrated by...well...we dont.left|thumb|Not to Be confused with big earred pie-eating polititions.
In Soviet Russia, Pi Day Celebrate YOU!!
== Why does Pi Day exist? ==
The only current answer for this is: Because it does.
Mathematicians and Historians are working together to work this out, but thus far the research has yielded no results.
We hope that there will be some results in the near future.
== Pi Day-It's Future ==
Of the United Mathematic Nation Committie (UMNC), all 12 agree it should be a worldwide holiday, not in some country where they may have made it up. Oscar Wilde, Soviet Russians and the United States of America (The Worlds Leading Mathematic Wonders) decided that people should memorise Pi to it's 314th decimal place, or they shall be manufactured in a box of Uncyclopedios or Shepereds Pie.
