Association of mad scientists who want to blow up the world. Apparently this could be found on Usenet, which I'm no longer able to search effectively. A Web search mostly just finds Uncyclopedia. Equinox 01:00, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Equinox: I see three good Usenet cites. The way to search it is like so: google:"AMSWWBUW" site:groups.google.com. Amazingly, one of the three uses is by someone I actually know, but I'll leave you to guess which of the three it is. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 03:33, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Metaknowledg Can you please add the Usenet cites to the citations page, as I cannot see them from your search link, and would like to verify that this is cited. Kiwima (talk) 21:30, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Kiwima: Ugh, that link doesn't work for me any more either. Google has somehow stopped indexing Groups properly, which makes this task even harder. Take a look at my quotes; if any of them don't pass muster for you, Uncyclopedia has a helpful list of some groups you could search (as searching within a given Usenet group still seems to work just fine). —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 23:46, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
cited. Thanks. Kiwima (talk) 04:41, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
