Interesting and revealing... both at the same time. -> Good stuff.

It's interesting how, at the tops of the lists, Wikipedia dominates in pageviews, but, as we look down , they're really comparable. (Wikis are really cool and rather useful, but would you use one for medical advice? I guess we've been doing that for thousands of years, but without the Internet)

It would appear Wikipedia is the choice of U.S. congressional pages, while Conservapedia is the favorite of their employers in  the former majority party.

An interesting tidbit:

I looked up "Gay bowel syndrome" on both Wikipedia and Conservapedia, and guess what: it didn't exist on Wikipedia, although Conservapedia had 96 references at the end of the article.

On homosexuality: the first subtitle on Coni: "Biblical statements regarding homosexuality"; on Wiki: "Overview"

(Sarcasm) Conservapedia is no doubt a "Trusthworthy Encyclopedia"...
