Scholarly Journal Promises to Reject Your Submission



Lately, I've been trying to get an essay published in a scholarly journal. Maybe I have a chance with this one! The Journal of Universal Rejection, hosted by Pacific University, offers a timely response and permits simultaneous submissions. Editor Caleb Emmons writes of the advantages of his publication:

  • You can send your manuscript here without suffering waves of anxiety regarding the eventual fate of your submission. You know with 100% certainty that it will not be accepted for publication.

  • There are no page-fees.

  • You may claim to have submitted to the most prestigious journal (judged by acceptance rate).

  • The JofUR is one-of-a-kind. Merely submitting work to it may be considered a badge of honor.

  • You retain complete rights to your work, and are free to resubmit to other journals even before our review process is complete.

  • Decisions are often (though not always) rendered within hours of submission.


  • A four-issue subscription costs £120 per year.

    This is the original form of a tool now made of plastic that you place in the center of a pizza in preparation for delivery. Because pizza boxes have a wide surface area, there is a risk of something crushing the box down onto the pizza which can damage the enjoyment of eating it. Delivering mushed pizzas can also hurt the pizza companies image. I believe this dates back to the latter half of the 19th century.

    Around the turn of the century, a strange attraction was popular for an extremely short time: Mouse Circuses. These were created because of the flea shortage of 1908. Small circus acts were taught to mice. Mice arialists, high wire and slack wire walkers, diving mice, mice shot out of a tiny cannon, and most popular, the mouse strong man act. This is the barbell from that act, without the weights attached. Surprisingly, the demise of the mouse circus was not due to the arrival of cheap foreign fleas starting in 1910, but because of the "mouse doping" scandal of 1909, where it was discovered that many of the mice were using steroids. Every word is true. Except the ones that aren't.

    It's a key for replacing cleats in sport shoes, i.e. golf cleats. The replaceable cleats have two or four 'female' notches to receive the prongs from the key and they are screwed into place.

    It is a well used 'Plunge-Fork' for eating live eels. Its a bit of a acquired taste, but in Mibelsten Wisconson they still hold the 'Ael festivel' with four metric tonnes of eels being consumed by local and visitors. Mibelsten is also famous for being the setting for several urban legends about insane townsfolk killing travelers and satanic rituals. It doesn't appear on maps, but you can find it by asking around.

    It's a victorian ear stud. Now naturally one would have to keep such radical appearance secret so they would tuck it under their powdered wigs when going out in public or to a fancy occassion.

    Back in the day, when there were no watches,they had portable Sun Dial. The Sun dial was crafted so you can balance it on the palm of your hand; it incorporates cardinal directions(little studs on the side),numbers that are located beneath the top part, and little metal legs that cast a perfect shadow on your hand.
    Don't want to be late for the party !!!

    It's a type of knitting jig for knitting small tubes, especially the fingers of gloves.

    Look Out Schroedinger's Cat, It's a Trap! in 2xl if I'm right. A large air of nothingness if I am wrong. :D
