Slow Work Days...

Been a slow week, so here's some fun stupid stories!

Ow ow ow ow ow ow!

and I quote:

Authorities said the hand was found in a jar on Kay's dresser in her South Plainfield home last summer. Friends have said she called it Freddy.

And Evangelical Christians' answer to Wikipedia, which they claim has a liberal bias:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,,2024762,00.html

Hm... could they be right? Does Wiki favor liberal thought? Let's see:

How they compare:

Dinosaurs

Wikipedia

"Vertebrate animals that dominated terrestrial ecosystems for over 160m years, first appearing approximately 230m years ago."

Conservapedia

"They are mentioned in numerous places throughout the Good Book. For example, the behemoth in Job and the leviathan in Isaiah are almost certainly references to dinosaurs."

US Democratic party

Wikipedia

"The party advocates civil liberties, social freedoms, equal rights, equal opportunity, fiscal responsibility, and a free enterprise system tempered by government intervention."

Conservapedia "The Democrat voting record reveals a true agenda of cowering to terrorism, treasonous anti-Americanism, and contempt for America's founding principles."

So if by liberal they mean rational, yes, yes it does.

UPDATE: so The Guardian is obviously liberally biased in the bad sense (i.e. non-rational) of the term: they cut out the words preceding the quote on what they call an entry for the "US Democratic Party" (which is in fact simply listed under "Democrat"). The full paragraph is as follows:

The official platform of the Democratic party emphasizes strengthening America. Right-wing critics claim, however, that the Democrat voting record reveals a true agenda of cowering to terrorism, treasonous anti-Americanism, and comtempt[sic] for America's founding principles such as freedom of religion.

Regarding the entry on dinosaurs, it has since been updated to read

the behemoth in Job and the leviathan in Isaiah are sometimes said to be references to dinosaurs. ^[15]

rather than the 'almost certainly references to dinosaurs' as cited above. The Guardian botched this one pretty bad. (Although I should note that the entry on dinosaurs is still pretty funny--very 'scientific')
