The staff also chose articles from those submitted to the site to be voted on by readers for the coveted "Funniest of the Month" title. Those who have made it to the list of the top article authors include "She's Gonna Blow: The Colon Cleansing Experiment", "The Wal-Mart Prank", and Hargrave's own "The Viagra Prank". ZUG Live ZUG Live, which was billed as "The World's Funniest Comedy Community", was a thriving online forum where users discuss every topic imaginable, with each poster able to give and receive "funny points", which are formally known as "ZUGZ", or commonly referred to as "orbs". Frequent posters competed to be ranked on the monthly list of The World's Funniest People. The ZUG Live software, which had been built entirely in-house, features humorous touches like the "Swearbot", which automatically turned swear words into the names of famous poets. Still, many threads had coarse language or adult discussions, so ZUG Live required its users to be over 18 years of age before they were given posting privileges. Name While Zug is the name of a city in Switzerland, as well as the German word for train, Hargrave insists that the name has nothing to do with either, and is actually a recursive backronym for the phrase "ZUG is Utterly Great".
