Interesting - Conservapedia throws me a 403 Forbidden when I try to access that link, and any other of their pages.

Anyone else having trouble? (Win 7, FF4, UK based ISP)

I'm getting a tcp error now. It doesn't really matter. It would be much like rushing off to correct the entries in Uncyclopedia and Encyclopedia Dramatica, anyway.

But Uncyclopedia and Encyclopedia Dramatica don't claim to hold the universal truth or try to convince people to follow a specific lifestyle based on that.

On a site note, my GGP post earned me my 666th karma point. Very suitable.

You're probably right about that. Not everybody thinks "reluctant to incorporate new information" when they see the name "Conservapedia" and has a little giggle.

Hah, hilarious. I'm outside of the US and it 403's me too. When I proxy via the US, it's fine. Guess they don't want evildoers from those atheist countries getting this information.

We just don't want all you freeloading communists stealing all of our hard-earned capitalist bandwidth...

They don't even make an exception for the Brits.

As the man said…

Works for me (Chrome, Ubuntu, in USA)

The following appears to have been recently added to the page: "Most recently, a new model for reflections of heat produced on the spacecraft[5] has been proposed. While this greatly reduces the amount of unexplained acceleration, it does not appear to completely eliminate it.[6]"
