The new conservative "rival" to Wikipedia -- high humor

stupid

Some wingnuts (including an offspring of Phyllis Schafly) have decided that Wikipedia is slanted towards liberalism and ungodliness, so they started a rival called www.Conservapedia.com. 

It didn't take long for some blogs of the over-100 IQ persuasion to take note, with the result that Conservapedia has been having server problems.  If it ever gets back up (don't those conservatives have any money to spend?) you might take a gander and contribute some knowledge.  In the interim, for amusement you can read gems like these, noted at the science blog Phyrangula:

http://scienceblogs....

MACROECONOMICS:
Macroeconomics is the analysis of the economy as a whole, or the analysis of large subdivisions of the economy. Macroeconomics is to microeconomics as forest is to trees. Macroeconomics is the opposite of microeconomics.

Needless to say, the entry "forest" now reads:
Forests are collections of trees as a whole, or large areas of trees. Forest is to trees as macroeconomics is to microeconomics. Forest is the opposite of trees.
KANGAROOS:

Like all modern animals, modern kangaroos originated in the Middle East and are the descendants of the two founding members of the modern kangaroo baramin that were taken aboard Noah's Ark prior to the Great Flood. ***

After the Flood, kangaroos bred from the Ark passengers migrated to Australia. There is debate whether this migration happened over land -- as Australia was still for a time connected to the Middle East before the supercontinent of Pangea broke apart -- or if they rafted on mats of vegetation torn up by the receding flood waters.

In the paragraph on atheism:

Stalin and Richard Dawkins are prominent atheists. Dawkins wrote a book, called "The God Delusion" which supposedly disproves Christianity. However, most critics did not like Dawkins' book, and Stalin is now dead, having killed millions of people.

A few good ones are noted at Wonkette: http://wonkette.com/... (Buried within the Wonkette link is the funniest photoshop I've ever seen - but it is naughty -- NSFW.)
