Hahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahahhahahahahaha!
Oh shit, let me just catch my breath.
Hahahahaha! Hahahahaahahhaha!
Allow me to present you with two sentences from abovementioned ‘source’:
A conservative encyclopedia you can trust.
And in the entry on Evolution:
Creationists can cite material showing that there is no real fossil evidence for the macroevolutionary position and that the fossil record supports creationism.
Conservapedia’s front page trumpets:
You will much prefer using Conservapedia compared to Wikipedia if you want concise answers free of “political correctness”.
… to which I would add ‘… or any actual basis in reality’
I propose that the editors should re-think the name of their site and maybe retitle it as ‘Put-Your-Head-In-A-Bag-opedia’
Hahahahahahaha! Hahahahaahaahahaa! Oh look – a handy sandstone block! I think I’ll smash my head against it a few times.

Luggage shop at Sydney airport.
Someone really got a bit too clever for their own boots. I suggest they try and make it appear intentional by adopting a slogan something like this: If your wife catches you using inferior luggage, you’re dead meat!

The NASA Cassini probe, now in its third year of observation around the planet Saturn, continues to send back extraordinary images and surprising and revelatory science.
This must surely rank as one of humankind’s most wonderful imaginative achievements. It was less than 400 years ago that Galileo Galilei espied Saturn with state-of-the-art augmentation of his eyes. Now, our augmented eyes can see marvels of which Galileo never dreamed.
All those people looking for reasons to bolster their belief in irrational things by finding messages in stains on tunnel walls and on pizza trays, might do better to turn their eyes skywards for some real miracles.
