A bit post-modern, isn't it?
I like it. Rather like that "why?" exam question which all philosophy students claim was once answered with "because" by a cocky student.
Needs a useful follow-up, though, really.

Sadly, to quote the Editorial guidelines...
"...until we set up a humour section, we won't use any one-line jokes in the Edited Guide"

That's a real shame. It could hold its own against such classics as:
Recursion: see "Recursion"
Endless Loop: see "Loop, Endless"
Loop, Endless: see "Endless Loop"
As far as I'm concerned, given the Guide's division into "Life", "The Universe" and "Everything", this article would probably fit in somewhere under "Everything".

Or my favourite:
Zen:
Any entry on self-motivation should include the following excellent advice I've read:
1) tie length of rope round right leg
2) pass other end up your back, over your shoulder, and down your chest
3) pull sharply down on this end, thus kicking youseself up the backside.

Peer Review guidelines are worth meeting too - "enter the AXXXXX number and the name of your recommended entry into the 'Subject' line". By failing to put the name of your subjetc you've probably lost about half of the people who might otherwise comment, and, if this had been guide material, reduced the chances of getting into the guide to about a tenth.
The h2g2 joke directory is at http://www.h2g2.com/A227440 if you don't want to spend the effort required to make this a genuine guide candidate.
