Lol I added [BODMAS] to wikipedia . Here's what happened:

BODMAS, standing for: Brotherhood of Doom Massacre Authoritarian Scum, are a well known UK based rock band. There are 4 members: Brother Pro, Brother Love, Brother Pig and Captain Invisible.

Bodmas recently added a 5th member: Brother Greg to the group, but fired him one week later as it was revealed it was a publicity stunt for their latest album The Return of BODMAS.

Bodmas have had many UK number 1's including Powell's a Hacker, Uranus Tonight, Quarry Bank Mill and the number one selling record ever Minimalist Family Reunion, which to date has sold 2 Billion copies.

Bodmas formed when the four members met at St Brown's University, and released their first demo 2 months later.

To date they have released 4 Albums:

Platoon of Doom Have Your Cake and Eat It What? The Return of BODMAS

BODMAS are currently touring Africa and working on a concept album loosely based on band member Captain Invisible, entitled: The Ballad of Captain Invisible.

And then the replies!


I think this article is a hoax. I can't find any substantiation for any such group on Google, and the claim that any record sold 2 billion copies (and I can't find the record listed with Google either) seems absurd. I asked the editor who created the article if it was real, but they did not respond John Barleycorn 22:36, July 13, 2005 (UTC)


Speedy delete: The mnemonic can be recreated later as a pure redirect, if necessary. At present, the article is a hoax. The members are all buddy names. The records don't exist. There are a bunch of buddy-jokes built into it. The nomination was correct: if you don't know if it's a speedy or not, go with VfD, but to me it's clearly a prank/vandalism, and therefore a speedy.

Redirect to Order of operations, where it used to redirect to. The most albums ever sold was 28 million, followed by Michael Jackson at 22 million. Moitio (talk) 17:30, 14th July 2005 (UTC)


Hi. I'm new to Wikipedia myself, but I have a question for you. Is the band BODMAS a real band? I mean, just claiming that anybody sold 2 billion copies seems a little wrong? I know I'm no expert on British pop music, but I can't find any references to any such band on Google, and if they've put out four albums, wouldn't they be searchable? Thanks.

Bodmas are a real band they played at Wembley a while back. I think their in Africa now doing a concept album or something. They have a site, its on google.




**Can you give us the address for their website? I tried to find something on Google which mentioned this band, I kept getting order of operations information, but when I typed in the supposed albums, I got nothing. The assertion that the band sold 2 billion copies of their album also seems suspicious. I apologize if my listing was incorrect. [[User:John Barleycorn|John Barleycorn]] 18:33, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
