Well, not 100% accurate as always, but still it's Cracked and they make a few good jokes.

Cracked.com article on 40K
I'm thinking it'd probably turn out more like Daleks playing Quiddich. "It is the Potter!! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! " (someone I know on twitter)

Fairly amusing overall, but what a horrible editing job!
Cracked is usually much better about that. Homophone errors, grammatical mistakes, etc.
People rip on BoLS articles...and they're not half as messed up as this article was.

Nice article, however the comments at the bottom really leave much to be desired (with the one noticeable exception of the Swooping Hawk comment)... Yeah, gotta love forums.

Dumb question:
As a kid there was a satire and parody magazine along the lines of Mad. It was named Cracked. I used to read it constantly. Is this Cracked.com in any way related to that old magazine?The Eye of Skreebo is upon ye. Skreebo expects.

Yes, after "dead tree Cracked" as it is known on Cracked.com failed they underwent a massive restructuring and came up with something much better.

That was one of the most poorly written write ups to ever infect my brain with an info virus.
The grammar was poor. The spelling was poor. The pictures were cool...ten years ago?
I guess I just don't understand the point. It was just a summary of the various armies in 40k. I kept reading because I expected a joke at some point.
