I think the best part's the ''intentional'' misspelling.

alt.religion.kibology -- is it a legitamite religion or a complete waste
of time?

The answer to those questions, and many others about alt.religion.kibology--
in fact, *all* others about Kibology--is a resounding "YES".
alt.religion.kibology, with an estimated 50-60,000 readers, is one of
the most popular *.religion.* groups on Usenet, and it carries approximately
as many articles per week as all of bionet.*.  In about two and a half
years, it has been steadily growing to become one of the most
well-recognized groups on the net...

...in spite of the fact that it's an utter and complete collection of
pointless babble.

"Oh, but I already get enough pointless babble in talk.bizarre, and
alt.slack, and alt.alien.visitors, and rec.org.mensa," you say.  "And
alt.conspiracy, and talk.*, and soc.*.  So what's new and different
about Kibology?"

Well, first, alt.religion.kibology is the home of many pop-culture
phenomena unimportant to your everyday life!  The most important of
these is James "Kibo" Parry himself, central deity of Kibology.  All
good Kibologists (and all bad ones) worship, love, fear, and detest Kibo!
But wait, there's more!  alt.religion.kibology also features the
STUPIDEST STUFF we can find in other groups, which is then CROSS-POSTED
to a.r.k for your reading pleasure!  NOW how much would you pay?  But it
doesn't end there!  There's also discussion about Bigfootf, and people
chanting "beable, beable, beable," while other people try to guess
what's on Kibo's coffee table, and massive cascades, and clueless people
who wandered in from alt.online-service.prodigy, and ads for combination
paint-shaker/ant-farm contraptions, and some guy named BIFF!  Yes, you
get all, this, and the confident KNOWLEDGE that you're DESTROYING
VALUABLE BRAIN CELLS FOREVER by reading alt.religion.kibology!

If you HATE Usenet and think it's ALL babble and drivel, then JUST CHECK
OUT ALT.RELIGION.KIBOLOGY--it's *MORE* than you'd expect Usenet's
drivel to be!  Yes, not only do certifiably insane people hang out
there, people who are too insane to certify do so as well!  These people
can give you important information concerning your love life as well as
entertaining you with their ''witty'' poetry.  But there's more to life
than ''wittiness''!  Kibology is DEADLY SERIOUS.  Did you know that
Kibology not only cured 56,000 cases of CANCER last week, but it also
CAUSED them all as well?  GLORY BE AND ALL PRAISE KIBO!

Besides, even if the group sounds like a total piece of crap, you should
drop in anyway and just laugh at what bozos the people there are.  In
fact, that Kibo guy may even be a bozo himself.  But at least he's being
the BEST bozo he can be.

A followup review from an forgotten netter:

__________________________________________________________________________

Kibology changed my life. I used to get to work & start in on a 
productive workday at 6am. No. If i can struggle into my office 
by noon I am lucky. The first thing I do every day (after i evade
the suspicious glances of my co-workers) is open up my newsreader
(xvnews v 2.0 patch 2) and read EVERY STUPID ARTICLE in a.r.k, which
of course, means every article! Several hours later, my mind numbed
by the heady diet of kibology, I may run a compile or 2, or just 
noodle around with some perl. At night I cover my head with aluminum
foil to prevent bozosity.
