There's also The Conservapedia which is not, unfortunately, a satire. For example the article on Kangaroos:
"Like all modern animals, modern kangaroos originated in the Middle East[1] 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."

Wow. While I'm not fond of "C.E." myself, I wouldn't call it "anti-Christian"!

Their server is very slow though, pages often time out for me. Edit: I can't seem to view the page discussions anymore, seems you now need an account to even view the discussion pages. There also doesn't seem to be a way to create an account at this time. The "create an account" button has gone missing. Additional edit: Seems you are only required to log in if there is no current discussion for the page, you are then directed to edit mode which does require a log in. If there is currently some discussion you are allowed to view it, but not edit it. Last edited by Bearded One; 02-March-2007 at 07:09 PM. |

Well, he does have a point about predominant liberal bias at Wikipedia, and teh zanier articles at Conservapedia probably were written by others. (And they could very well have been liberals making fun of conservatism.)

at least relative to his own bias.

I don't get a liberal bias in Wikipedia. There are as many rabid conservatives as rabid liberals editing it. Believe me, I've seen the discussion pages.
I find CE incredibly pompous. Who says any kind of "common era" began when Christ was born? Yes, nowadays most nations of the the world, for reasons of expediency, are using the Christian calendar, but they didn't automatically start using it the moment Christ was born.

Well yes, I did know that of course. I have a soft spot for inventors, especially inventors named Little Dennis.
I've always been a bit puzzled as to why Denny wanted to fix the date of Jesus's birth as the beginning of the Christian era. Surely the Christian era began with Jesus's crucifiction, no?

Good point. And since he got the date wrong anyway . . . .
