Why Bother? - An interesting query if ever there was one, though quite a queer query. Many have fought, and died, and loved, and had passionate feelings about this question. Actually, no they haven't. Because the question is "Why Bother?" and the answer has always been "I don't know"... Until now. For today is the day that Uncyclopedia takes a first-hand, up-close, personal, and touchy-feely look at a question that has depressed mankind for... at least a few weeks or years or so.
“Why am I bothering to type this? Read below to know why I am typing, and why I shouldn't be bothering to type.”

Verb
The Question itself is, ironically, a sentence fragment. It has no Subject noun, much like life itself has no Subject noun. Probably, someone was halfway through writing it and decided, "Eh, I won't even bother," and stopped. Perhaps, it was meant to be "Why bother completing sentences or questions?" But, the world will probably never know, or much less give a dump. Or dare I say, bother.
Also note the extensive use of symbology throughout the sentence. Clearly, the empty space between "Why" and "Bother" is meant to represent the primary reason not to bother: Because life is a silly, worthless and futile void of a wasteland that will never come to anything. The "?" at the end represents humanity's desperate attempts to find meaning or purpose or subject nouns in life, yet constant failure to find (or "answer") that question. Also, the abbreviation of the sentence (WB) has the same exact initials as Warren Buffet, The WB Television Network, and Wonder Bra. Coincidence? I think not! But I still don't care.

[edit] Conclusion
To bother, or not to bother - That is the question. No one knows the true answer. It's like an enigma wrapped in a mystery wrapped in a tortilla wrapped in an enigma. Yet, everyone has their own answer to the question, their own reasons. Perhaps, scientists could someday carefully research and record the individual answer of everyone on Earth, and come up with the best and most conclusive answer to the question. But - really - Why Bother?
