Can I recommend the Conservapedia? It is at conservapedia.com.
It's - um - how do I put this? - a conservative riposte to the dreadful liberalism in that naughty old Wikipedia.
Hours of amusement can be had by repeatedly clicking on 'Random page'.
Especially funny are the entries on:
The Spanish-American war
and
The crusades ("the western army was already overwhelming ")
and particularly delicious is
Examples of bias in Wikipedia. I believe all forumites will especially enjoy number 6.
Happy reading!

Oh, right. I should have mentioned.
The site has provoked such hilarity in the states that it frequently runs out of bandwidth and it can be impossible to log on for hours at a time. I guess early morning is a good time because everyone in America is asleep. Well, most.
Stick with it. Cause it's a Wiki, you're never really sure if an article has been written by a genuine poster, or somebody trying to parody the whole concept. But it's a side splitter.
did like the Spanish-American War one.
Got to admit the "we insist on American English" is very annoying, an English Dictionary will give definitions for American/British and other spellings of a word any of which are correct but Americans hate anything not in a strictly American Dictionary And wikipedia is clearly not American despite its origins, so it is arrogrant to try and hold onto it, and wail in misery at it being "more liberal than the US population" er...yeah...the rest of the world IS more liberal than the general US population. Thanks for finding this Barry
quote in "the crusades": "King Richard the Lion-Hearted of England" and as a footnote "The Crusades went against our Christian teachings and the words of Christ" - did they? really ?
other interesting ones : Islam (links to blood sacrifice)
atheism : (Atheism is part of a scientific worldview)
Homosexuality: (1st section = Biblical_Views_on_Homosexuality) which says a lot really
Glad you liked it.
Whilst amusing, there is something terribly sinister in their calm and unthinking assumption that if it's American, it's good, if it's foreign, it's worse.
I missed the link, but I was reading a short biographical excerpt about one of the founders of Virginia, and suddenly there was a sub-section - longer than the biography - about the incorporation of christianity into the constitution of Virginia.
They are like a fungal infectious version of Mr Dick in David Copperfield - they can't keep their King Charles' head from popping up everywhere!
