Enough of that rubbishy pigeon German. It seems the Illogicopedia has been mentioned in a German article on Wikipedia parodies- not sure where it originated, but it seems to have been syndicated a few times.

Update (23/3/08)
Some other news sites such as Expatica.com now have an English translation. Ja bitte!
There's also a mirror at Yahoo News, perhaps the most famous of the sites syndicating the article.
