The Amish are half-breed humans that reside in the United States. Due to their religious convictions, they do not appear to have the technology.They are descended from an extraterrestrial named Adamo who visited Earth to dominate it along with his tyrannical alien buddies, but instead he fell in love with our amusing, pseudo-intellectual antics. He then settled in the deserts of America and met a Native-American woman called Gashuegecayxxxxxxxxxxxuarewiouxsthenacalooca. They lived in a little tepee and created 18 children. These children all banded together and started digging tunnels deep beneath the thick American bedrock. They lined the tunnels with torches and started holding secret ceremonies down there. Then they decided to live there. They have lived there since time, immemorial in peace and tranquility. In the 16th century, they emerged from the underground and they were bewildered to see modern technology and humans. But they chose to remain in their backward, ancient lifestyle. They mainly subsist on butter, milk, and other dairy products. They also like pop star Weird Al.
[edit] Beards
Amish are quite noted for their beards. The reason for their growing of lengthy facial hair is that they lack materials for making their quilts. When the beards come to a certain length, they have what they call "Beard-Harvesting season". This season comes in winter when beard growth is at its peak. They then gather at the town barn to have mass-plucking of beards. The collected facial hair is then placed on the Amish looms and made into quilts. The Amish also need their beards to stay warm at night.
[edit] Amish Pastimes
Amish are known for their extreme love and enthusiasm for butter-churning. They love butter-churning so much that they hold bi-annually the "Amish Butter-Churning Olympics". The sports in this athletic festival include:
- Synchronized Butter-churning
- The best butter churned competition
- 100 m butter churning race
- 250 m butter churning race
- 4x400 m butter churning relay
- Butter churn bowling
- Butter churn practical shooting
- Butter churn archery
- Butter churn lacrosse
- Butter churn Weight Lifting
- Playing video games on very expensive plasma T.V. s
- Cow tipping
- Cow towing
- Cow churning
[edit] Gambling
Amish are very fond of gambling. They usually bet on such things as who can churn the best butter in a minute, who can harvest the most wheat in a minute, or whoever can knit the prettiest quilt in a minute. They also gamble their wives.
[edit] Cycle-by insulting
Due to their beliefs in boycotting modern technologies, such as the car, and the gun, and their pacifistic beliefs the Amish found that the historical past time of drive-by shootings would be impossible. In response to this they adapted it into an equally deadly cycle-by insulting. Which basically involves cycling-by a person and calling them a wanker.
[edit] Appearance and Behavior
The Amish typically have a variation of brown hair, gray or blue eyes, a large bone structure, and many Amish females are born with beards much like Charles Darwin
[edit] Your Mom
The Amish worship your mom because, well, she is Amish. Nothing says your mom more than Amish. Your mom is also an Amish hooker who "churns butter" for Amish teenagers.
[edit] Diet
The Amish live off the land. They are pretty much cannibals. Shocking? Not really. They also drink un-hydrogenated milk. Scientists now believe that a steady diet of un-hydrogenated milk may be what causes the extreme intelligence of the Amish.
[edit] The Amish Underground
Despite living very secretive, secluded lives, the Amish are known to have vast technologies that far exceed anything found elsewhere in the world. The Amish are the well known technophiles, easily exceeding the rest of the World in their expertise in technology. They are best known for their experience in computer science, though they are reclusive, and refuse aid and contact with most of the world. Despite, or perhaps because of their reclusive nature, they resemble the A-Team in many respects. The Amish can be recruited for an unsolvable problem, if you are able to make contact with them.
The Amish have reportedly found fast algorithms to solve NP complete problems, although whether the hardness of the problem is actually true in the hands of the Amish, remains to be a mystery. Like many fledgling communities they use the cheaper asymmetric system.
The Amish inventor Graeber Bartholomew Good, perhaps the most famous of the Amish, invented the light bulb in 1903 so that he could read pornography at night without the fear of knocking over his candles with his vigorous kitten slaying. At the 1921 Universal Exhibition John Ambrose Fleming made a How many Amish does it take to change a lightbulb-joke while an Amish overheard him. 3 Days later the same Amish invented the vacuum tube.
Due to their reculsive nature and skills, not much else is known about the Amish, though we do know a lot about their history and the technologies they are able to employ. The actual behavior of the Amish is rather mysterious since they are so shy. They are extremely difficult to document.
We do know that the Amish have access to the World Wide Web.
Amish have their own internet service provider called Amis.net. The domain Amish.net was already taken. They are also known to have their own special computer virus. It can be found here.
[edit] History
Despite their primitive appearance as a society, the Amish have a strong foothold in the history of the world. Shortly after emerging from the ground in the mid-1500's, the Amish realized that, via their superior technology and intelligence, they could change the course of history. After establishing themselves as a primitive race of technology-haters, the aforementioned Amish Underground made plans the shape history to their own accord. By periodically releasing some of their lesser technological secrets to key figures in society, the Amish kept the rise of technology firmly under their control.
However, controlling the human race is a difficult task, even for the Amish. Fortunately, Amish control has faltered very little in the past. However, in 1914, the Amish general Gregario Hofflig never expected the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand to spiral to such epic proportions. According to several recently stolen Amish Underground reports, Hofflig witnessed the predicted assassination and began plans to quickly start a bloody civil war in Syria that would divert attention from the fact that a Syrian extremist had killed Austria's Archduke. Unfortunately, his orders of "start raids in Syria" were misinterpreted as "spread AIDS in Asia," and the Syrian government remained united when they received Austria's ultimatum. Hofflig could have still salvaged the situation by quickly taking control of the Syrian government and making them agree to all of Austria's terms. However, Hofflig hesitated, thinking that even Syria could not be stupid enough to invoke Austria's anger and cause the first World War. He was wrong.
[edit] The Amish-Mormon War
While many people believe Amish are much like the Mormons, most do not realize that this is true.
Since 1833, Amish and Mormons have been at war. Originally, the Amish and Mormons lived together in Amish Country, residing on their secluded farms and hiding their vast knowledge and technological resources from the rest of the world. However, by the turn of the century, a large group of Amish began breaking away from the traditional way of life. They began to shave, wear colored clothing, and speak profanity. In 1832, the Amish King, Jakob Yoder (1800-1853), banished a group of 63 rebellious men, women, and children from Amish country. The banned Amish retaliated by forming their own community and renaming themselves the Mormons. They published their own books of Propaganda in 1833, known as the Chronicles of the Latter Day Saint. The number of Mormons grew rapidly, and the Amish were greatly angered. In one of the most unprecedented events in history, the Amish declared war on the Mormons, driving them from Amish Country and into Illinoy [the common Alt Line Amish spelling of Illinois]. The Mormons held the Frontline in Illinoy in what is known as the Illinoy Campaign (1833-1835). However, the Amish continued to beat them back until the Mormons fled to Utah. By 1847, nearly all Mormons had been driven to the wastelands of the West, where they remain today. However, the Amish continue to fight the Mormons with their Satellite Death Rays.
A typical battle between the Amish and Mormons is fought entirely with Satellite Death Rays. Since the Mormons and Amish live so far apart nowadays, they cannot fight a conventional battle. Instead, they beam deadly laser rays at each other, causing the destruction of property and occasional loss of life. They also send propaganda back and forth via the World Wide Web.
Amish fight their enemies with pitchforks, sickles, and other farm and agricultural paraphernalia. Recent controversial footage of a "Tractor of Death" under construction in an undisclosed location in Amish Country have been released on Youtube.
[edit] The Controversial Tractor of Death
It was rumored that the Amish have been constructing a weapon of mass destruction deep within Amish country. A video which was released on Youtube, shows many notable Amish engineers and scientists like Ezekiel Jakobs and Jebediah Jeremaiah working on a what looks like a tractor. They are seen to be working in a barn, surrounded with hay, with many tools around them and blueprints. They can even be heard to be discussing such topics as "mind control", "fighting fire with fire", and "world domination", well domination or abomination; I couldn't make out the words properly from the other side of the door. The video is yet to be confirmed as real but experts quite agree that this is the actual video of the Death Tractor in question.
[edit] Why The Amish Are So Intelligent
Once every blue moon I lay in my bed drunk and high wearing nothing but my underwear and a pair of ski boots when the thought pops up,"Damn, those Amish are an intelligent group of people."But why are they "So damn intelligent?" To answer this question older than time itself let's compare this gentle creature to us, the humans. Firstly, we're fat, they're not, end of discussion. But why? Because they don't drive cars, they walk friggin' everywhere. So you want a recommendation? I'll give you your recommendation! Go hang out with some Amish People: You get a pimp hat, buttonless shirt, and long sideburns and a beard. What more could you ask for? Churning butter you say? You've got it! :)
