  1. Ms B ♥ says:

    Quick! Somebody call I X I I!!

    • Marius says:

      *Snickers*
      Eye eye Ms B!

      • Ms B ♥ says:

        I’ve been bugging Leila all day with my movie quotes :)

        • AllGreatAllTheTime says:

          ♪You got me on my knees, Leila♫ oh wait – that’s a song quote. A great song, at that!

          • RoadRunner says:

            Damn I missed a lot in history class

            • AllGreatAllTheTime says:

              LOL! You probably wouldn’t have learned about that song in History class. Great music, though…

              • TMI Service says:

                You may know, that song is based on the heart-wrenching situation of Clapton falling in love with a woman who at the time was married to his friend, George Harrison.

                A bit further back in history … the name “Layla” comes from an old Arabic love story, the beginning of which Wikipedia summarizes this way:

                Layla and Majnun, also known as The Madman and Layla, … is based on the real story of a young man called Qays ibn al-Mulawwah from the northern Arabian Peninsula in the 7th century. In one version, he spent his youth together with Layla, tending their flocks. In another version, upon seeing Layla he fell passionately in love with her. In both versions, however, he went mad when her father prevented him from marrying her; for that reason he came to be called Majnun meaning “madman.” …

                There is some great classic Arabic poetry written about Layla and Majnun.

    • Em says:

      haha, Hercules

  2. Obviously it’s meant to be two Is and not two 1s.

    It’s not a history fail but a notation fail.

    A time traveler from the future

    • Lowkey says:

      Ah Ha! This is exactly what my calculations predicted! A war veteran from the year 2356 would come back in time to warn us that Switzerland was stockpiling nuclear weapons all along.

      • Cray74 says:

        I always said Eisenhower’s “Atoms for Peace” was moronic and sure enough look what happened: nuclear war with the Swiss only 300 years later. Not that anyone missed Texas, it was overrun by illegal aliens (from Zeta Reticuli) anyway.

        • Lowkey says:

          Scientologists were the only humans that remained there. The Prairie Chapel Ranch became their new headquarters.

          • StoopidMonkee says:

            The radiation was a bit of an inconvenience for them. Cancer and mutations and all.

            • Lord Muck says:

              You’re all wrong, World War 11 is merely one of the many planned sequels to the popular “World War Series”, they were supposed to release it by 2012 but sadly due to the fact that World War 3 was (and still is) in Development Hell they couldn’t release it, and if it does it will probably go straight to DVD.

    • mask2697 says:

      This war was started due to all the FPS companies running out of video game ideas…

    • JOHN TITOR says:

      I AM JOHN TITOR AND WHAT IS THIS?

  4. Jambon-X says:

    After World War 3 turned out to be a PR nightmare, the following 16 World Wars were kept hidden from the public. Come on sheeple, wake up.

  5. justin says:

    he could of just typed in 2 lowercase L’s Example, world war ll

  6. xD says:

    Hey … mr. …. spock???

  7. Jambon-X says:

    This guy looks like he would taste like krasins

  8. Gero says:

    That’s the beauty of World War 11, it’s so intense, it skips over the other 9…

    • skyman724 says:

      It’s because of a technicality with the chain of surrenders. It started with Libya starting WWIII after the US took full military action against the Libyan loyalist military, then Iran went ape-sh*t on the US on the accusation that we basically controlled the UN and WWIV happened, which ended in the Great Fall of New York City (they nuked it even though we knew all along that they had nukes and tried to stop them at all costs). At this point, North Korea had enough support from the then-crumbling Russia, as they had dealt weapons to Iran under the radar and were short of supplies for a couple of years (which we didn’t learn of until after WW 9), and so began WWV, which lead to the Fall of Alaska (Palin had it coming!) and the Canadian nuclear weapons program (only to turn against us later). After that, a good portion of Europe was mad at the US for our use of nukes on NK and Iran, and this lead to WW6, a.k.a. The Backwards War (2 reasons for that name: France started the war (I know………..it’s just weird), and many previously peaceful nations created full wartime economies to fight us). After WW6 (which we nearly lost due to the nukes dropped on a multitude of East Coast Army bases and Washington D.C. (by this time, the capital of the US had moved to St. Louis, MO as it was deemed the safest city for a new capital)), Canada found some comfort in connecting itself to its French roots and decided that they wanted to try and be the top dog nation by starting WW7 with us, but they only succeeded in one attack on the US, the Siege of Seattle, before we nuked Vancouver (which our timing couldn’t have been more perfect for doing so as there was an odd wind current blowing south that week) and Toronto. WW8 went back to the Middle East as Israel and Palestine reached a boiling point after arguing over whose troops fought harder in WW7 (by this time, the UN had been taken over by the stronger Middle Eastern countries, most notably Israel and Palestine, who had put aside their differences to aid Canada in their attack on the US), so they decided to put their troops to the test against us and see who turned out better. WW8 later became known as the 8 Day War because it only took 8 days before the Israelis and Palestinians were killing each other again and they quite literally ignored the US after that. WW9 started when US businesses hit a surge of unemployment when companies returned to outsourcing after WW had kept the US in a wartime economy and put everyone to work (side-note: at this point, Apple was transformed into a military weapons manufacturer O.o), which backfired when China decided that they had had enough of us keeping them from attacking the puppet government of Taiwan and abusing their workers for cheap labor and put an economic sanction on the US, which, for the first time, prompted the US to attack first (gasp!) and start WW9. WW10 was the one that was considered to be the least expected because it stemmed out of our negligence of the US to help Mexico rid itself of drug cartels, which was solely the result of all of the US’s resources going towards the World Wars, and the drug cartels took over the Mexican government and started sneaking bombs through the border in government vehicles and this resulted in the Great San Diego Bomb (they literally made every single one of their over 9000 (I know………….silly, but that’s what happened) bombs go off at the same time, thus the name). We barely won WW10 because a large portion of our population had been Hispanics and they all betrayed us, but this wasn’t until after we started taking Mexican-Americans to internment camps, similar to the Japanese-American internment camps from WWII. WW11, a.k.a. The Day the World Ignited, was when things went completely downhill for the US, literally, as they were getting attacked by just about everyone at this point and they resorted to creating an underground network, which is still operational today, to keep their population alive.

      My point of all this is this: This all happened in 5 years. That’s why it skips over all the others.

    SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI

  10. Julie says:

    World War 11? This isn’t a history fail, it’s a time travel win!

  11. madvillain7 says:

    He is a cybernetic organism sent back in time to prevent the birth of Paris Hilton’s children…

    • Dronnabe says:

      She won’t have kids. She’ll get an abortion so she can keep partying. (let’s just hope abortion isn’t made illegal anytime soon…….)

  12. P.D says:

    That’s odd, I don’t remember the last 9…

    • Dronnabe says:

      That’s probably because the government started brainwashing soldiers starting with WW 12. You might have been a soldier with the procedure gone wrong to have total dissociative fugue instead of the partial amnesia they intended. They say some of the earliest subjects had issues like that.

  13. kitchen | raider says:

    Ha! This is my local news station, fail.

  14. Shaun says:

    I really hope that isn’t my local station. It looks like the header colors they use though. *Facepalm*

  15. KP says:

    John Connor?

  16. tpc33 says:

    He looks like an old Red Foreman…

  17. fuzz on the concept says:

    Dude — it goes all the way to 11 !

  18. Anyadlia says:

    I think his name is a win tho… funny poker joke ;)

  19. Chad says:

    This isn’t a fail, you idiot. He’s obviously just from the future.

  20. LOL says:

    obviouly hes a World War 1 Vetern, its just a caption fail.

  21. ClosetKitteh says:

    What should I make of this…

    To put it simply, he found the TARDIS.

  22. mask2697 says:

    this war is a plan by the FPS gaming companies who ran out of ideas in the future

  23. Don’t laugh. It’ll happen one day.

  24. Ryan says:

    I’m not sure which is worse, the “World War 11,” or the fact that his name looks like “Donk Raisin”

  25. CharmedI'mSure says:

    He’s from the future!!

  26. Antares says:

    wow… what channel is this ? :) ))

  27. says:

    11? Wow, I was asleep longer than I realized! What year is it?

  28. Time To Become Alone says:

    it’s 2011 o.O 11? elven? im confused now.

  29. Snickerdoodle says:

    Oh no. There won’t be a World War 11. World War 3′s nukes messed up the planet enough, and the World War 6′s photon orbital satellite canons blasted kilometer deep craters into the earth, but the 9th World War’s controlled Black hole emitter malfunctioned, went out of control and sucked in the whole solar system.

    I should know.

  30. satanballs666 says:

    wait, humans survived 9 world wars?

  31. Samuel says:

    I think it’s actually a roman numerals fail.

  32. Paul Lynde says:

    I think that was the one where Burkina Faso tried to defeat Guam. America got involved because they were bored and the UK got involved because the US told them to. (*Grin*)

  33. different chris says:

    That’s the beauty of World War 11 guys. It’s so intense, it skips over the other 8. I HAVE SPOKEN.

  34. :P says:

    OOOH, TIME TRAVLE!!!

  35. djgossip says:

    Always nice to see a local story one the Cheez network. And on my birthday too.

  36. Apache says:

    It’s simple. He’s from the future to warn us about the 11th World War. Screw 8 worlds that occured before. The 11th one was more important. :P

    • says:

      Well he wanted to go back to just before the 11th war, because he figured going this far back and preventing earlier wars would mess up the timeline. But he hit a wrong button and came back too far.
