I see that Conservapedia has had some work done to it lately. As a consequence it is now less embarrassing for the neo-cons who run it, and less hilarious for the rest of us. Although still pitiful by Wikipedia standards the article on France is at least properly formatted now, longer than a couple of […]

At last I have found something in the Conservapedia I can agree with. Two things actually, and both in the same article. By their standards its a very long article too, with lots of links (not as many as there could be of course) and even a bibliography at the end (first on the list: […]

Unintentionally deep?
March 6th, 2007 · Comments Off on Unintentionally deep? · Life
It is only supposed to be a cheap punning gag, but it could be the starting point for a serious discussion: I am talking about one of the publicity taglines for the film Clerks II… With no power comes no responsibility I think you can make that mean all sorts of things which Kevin Smith […]

France

If, as Shakepeare once wrote, brevity is the soul of wit, then the Conservapedia entry on France is fucking hilarious. I didn’t even need computer assistance to do the word count. (21 words)

I am trying to break my Conservapedia habit, but its just so addictive I keep saying to myself ‘just one more random topic and then I’ll call it quits’. Today I stumbled across an entry on Plato which has obviously been vandalised, from the point of view of the site owners, but looking at the […]

Blitzkrieg
March 4th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Life
Todays random topic on Conservapedia is Blitzkrieg. In a masterstroke of brevity the whole topic, which Wikipedia takes nearly 7000 words to describe in some depth has been reduced to this: A blitzkrieg is a quick surprise attack by massive ground and air forces, usually by the German military. “Blitzkrieg” is from the German words […]

Today’s Conservapedia hilarity
March 2nd, 2007 · 3 Comments · Politics
The Conservapedia site looks like being a great source of entertainment, even despite the scary thought that those behind it are totally serious. For some reason, Wikipedia does not have an entry on it, but it is mentioned in the entry about the Eagle Forum. Perhaps the most worrying aspect of the whole business is […]
Conservapedia
March 1st, 2007 · 6 Comments · Life
How fantastic of the Guardian Unlimited news blog to point us in the direction of a new site called Conservapedia. It really is like April 1st has come a month early. Conservapedia says that it exists because Wikipedia is “biased” and “anti-Christian and anti-American”. On the main page it says: You will much prefer using […]
