Have You Heard Of "Conservapedia"?
I think I saw it mentioned on the Daily Show several months ago and had forgotten about it until I saw this video clip comparing the the top 10 pages with the most views on Wikipedia versus the Top 10 most viewed pages on Conservapedia.

Ridiculous of course, but also funny:

1. Too right!
One track mind, perhaps?

I no longer question their strange habit of hanging out in airport restrooms...makes perfect sense to me now.

In fact, the whole Conservative movement makes more sense to me now...this pretty much explains EVERYTHING about the Conservative viewpoint...OBSESSION.

Thanks!!!

2. Homosexuality
I should also have included the Conservapedia link to homosexuality in the original post:
