Gah, it's a joke site, people. Some of the subsidiary pages have the driest humor I've read all year. #8 of the 10 Questions is so dead perfect, it's like the essence of every argument with a well-read crackpot concentrated into a perfect jewel.

I enjoyed their periodic table.

Honestly, it's usually best to assume a site's a joke and then let it prove to you that it's serious, like CAP Alert. Actually, the early version of the Landover Baptist site really tested my humor detection skills; these days, it's a lot more obvious.

Well, it's because of Landover Baptist that such sites are a lot more obvious these days.

It took me ages and ages, though, to figure out that CAP Alert was actually real. Now that gives me the willies.

I have to say that it took me a little time to work it out, because I was expecting to laugh at it rather than with it, but yes, definitely agreed. It is pretty close to perfect. :-)

It's not actually all that funny, but I still can't stop giggling at "IUPAC supports the use of Arabic (Muslim) Numerals" on this page: http://www.re-discovery.org/get_us_out.html
