Grimsby
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
Grimsby, otherwise known as "Very Grim Grimsby" is an established sea port, located on the coast of North East Linconshite, England. Rumor has it that the town was founded by the Grim Reaper in the early 9th century, reportedly accustomed as a place where crime was encouraged and rewarded. To this day, the town has pretty much the same customs. With a population of 223 people, Grimsby is generally regarded as one of the most populated places in the region, and even the country. In the year 2008 census, it was ranked as the 56th most populated town in England.
Grimsby is also linked with its very unfortunate neighboring village, Cleethorpes. This linking caused the government to establish Cleethorpes as a part of Grimsby, increasing the population in 2004 from 223 to 281. This enhanced Grimsby's position as one the most populated towns in the country.

[edit] History
[edit] Formation
In the year 945 A.D, Death (Or the Grim Reaper) was leaving an old country house in North East Linconshite, after killing an elderly couple. Whilst walking through the swamps, he noted that an area of highland. Upon climbing it he discovered the area was reasonably flat and saw an opportunity for building a town. Over the next 50 years, Death did this, and made the town we all know and
hate love as Grimsby. He named it after himself. Unfortunately, within the first few years of establishing his town, no people visited due to their apprehension towards the Grim Reaper leading a town. Eventually, however, people settled there when he put adverts in the local newspaper claiming that there would be no rules under his authority. By the 11th century, the towns population had risen to 210,547 people, all of them whos dad is the grim reaper.
[edit] Vikings
In the late 11th century, England was thrown into chaos when the Vikings invaded. Due to Grimsbys position on the coast, it was noted straight away by the sailors on the longboats, and targeted for attack. The Vikings landed on the shore, marched straight into the marshy town and talked to Death face to face. They famously quoted:
"We come from the land of the ice and the snow from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow."
Death, startled and frightened by the mysterious invaders, fled the town and went into hiding. The Vikings took over Grimsby and to this present day there lifestyle is still adopted in the town. The population of Grimsby warmed to there captors, and soon came to call them there new leaders.
[edit] Middle Ages
Eventually the Vikings were driven out of England, and hence they were also driven out of Grimsby. The country began to stabilize and this offered a chance for Grimsby to expand. So far, its entire population of 200,000 people were living in an incredibly small area, forced into poverty. Despite the fact no one paid for anything and the fact that there was no rules, people were starting to wish there was. In 1569 salvation came. A small group of residents established a dock on the coast and began a small fishing company. By selling the fish they caught they made enough money to buy better materials and land, and therefore saved the town. In just 20 years Grimsby soon became the largest town in the county, and poverty was extinguished. The town learned a vital lesson for the future:
Even though there was no cost on anything and no rules, there still needed to be money made in order to buy land from the government.
[edit] 1900-Present
The town continued to grow and expand after the establishment of the fishing industry, and became infamous famous for its completely different customs compared to the rest of England. In 1917, Russia went through a revolution, and was officially dubbed as a communist country afterwards. Due to the striking similarities in Grimsbys rules and Russia's rules, Grimsby was officially declared communist in 1931. This seriously hampered the towns popularity, and the government warned people to stay outside an 8 mile radius of the place.
In World War 2, Grimsby came under great threat of been bombed by the Nazis, however they were lucky because the Luftwaffe pilots claimed that the town looked as if it had already been bombed. Because of this easy mistake, Grimsby avoided bombing throughout the entire war.
After the war, the cold war began. Grimsby was the only part of England to support the East, and became an outcast throughout the country. The most significant event of The Cold War in Grimsby happened in 1962, when the Russians started secretly building nuclear silos in the town. They were discovered by an American spy satellite doing this, and Britain was informed at once. Britain threatened to fine Russia £100 if they continued to produce the silos (Not because £100 was a lot of money in those days, rather because Russia were so poor they couldn't afford it). Despite this threat, Russia continued to ship nuclear weapons to Grimsby. So the Americans stepped in as they usually do and threatened to destroy the next Russian ship which came anywhere near Grimsby. Russia backed down. This event is known as "The Grimsby Missile Crisis." In 1995 the fishing stocks lowered. Because of this, the residents of Grimsby couldn't afford new exports from different parts of England. Fearing another decline into poverty, the town revolted against the communist leaders, and overthrew them. This was the end of communism in Grimsby.
In the year 2000 a town council was established in Grimsby. This council began to adopt the traditions of other towns in the country, but had difficulty doing so because the residents had grown so use to the no rules and no currency idea.
