Worth a click

Fed up with the (perceived) left-wing, liberal bias of internet encyclopedia Wikipedia, Andrew Schlafly invents an online alternative "Conservapedia" with an unabashed right-wing focus. It's front page boasts:
[This] is an online resource and meeting place where we give full credit to Christianity and America.. You will much prefer using Conservapedia.. if you want concise, clean answers free of "political correctness"
Amen. Site includes daily Biblical quotations and its 'Today in History' column features prominent religious figures, American politicians, as well as notable historical events.

Man, check the entry for New Zealand on Conservapedia. Good for a belly laugh but not much more.

ROTFL - You're right! I had no idea NZ was colonised by the Japanese in 1206, nor the Russians in the 15th Century. I was certainly unaware that Maori comprise the majority of the population.

I suspect their fact-checker may have swallowed too many party pills.
