What Would Jesus Wiki?

From an article in Wired:

An alternative Wikipedia written by conservative Christians has become a major target of mockery on the web.

Conservapedia brands itself on its main page as "a much-needed alternative to Wikipedia, which is increasingly anti-Christian and anti-American."

Conservapedia's entry on kangaroos says that, "like all modern animals ... kangaroos are the descendants of the two founding members of the modern kangaroo baramin that were taken aboard Noah's Ark prior to the Great Flood."

Marijuana, the wonder drug

An interesting article in the International Herald Tribune by Lester Grinspoon (an emeritus professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School). Here is an excerpt:

"Marijuana is effective at relieving nausea and vomiting, spasticity, appetite loss, certain types of pain and other debilitating symptoms. And it is extraordinarily safe — safer than most medicines prescribed every day.
If marijuana were a new discovery rather than a well-known substance carrying cultural and political baggage, it would be hailed as a wonder drug."
