The Funny

The Funny is a mostly primitive nomadic faction in Andromeda and the only known faction to possess magical capabilities.

Culture and Religion
The Funny practice a religion wherein they worship an abstract entity known as The Funny. They often practise human sacrifice whenever a bad joke is told, as this displeases The Funny. They also practise black magic.

The slogan of The Funny is "smegma", a quote by Cason Mohen, a mythological character that is central to The Funny. It is said that he called these words aloud in a time long ago in the distant land of "Glaucestea."

The Funny have a long history of nomadic movement.

History
The Funny began on a remote island when a MEGACORP-manufactured ship, The Joke Boat, weighed anchor by their village for a TV show. They immediately began worshipping this bizarre structure and commandeered the ship and its staff. This is when they adopted English as a formal language. As the Joke Boat was heavily centred around comedy, the tribesmen adopted this as a religion, which over time mutated and became very hardline.

Although primitive, The Funny are able to control The Joke Boat, and sail it across the world in seek of MEGACORP oil rigs (they believe oil to be pure piss.)

Philosophy
The Funny believe that piss is truth and that truth is piss; that these two concepts are completely one and the same. In their native language, Funny, they only have one word for both concepts: pis. They believe that human urea is impure piss, as it is only translucent and highly viscous. Crude oil is pure piss, as it is very low in viscocity and entirely opaque. They fuel the Joke Boat on "the purest piss", the residue at the bottom of the distillation chamber during the oil extraction process; as it happens, this is coincidentally the correct method, as this "purest piss" happens to be heavy fuel oil, which it runs on.
