Cool. I like to get my "facts" from an unverified source.
While it is more than a bit absurd it doesn't work with https, I am not sure the "s" provides much fact verification.
It doesn't verify the facts but it helps to verify the source as in making sure you are actually connected to this site.
They just have a domain validation cert. That doesn't mean much, other than your communication with the site is secure. And there's HTTP resources being pulled in invalidating most of that security. Bonus derp points for being a COMODO cert.
