Tard would be a step up for Conservapedia. It's like a black hole of stupidity.  Imagine all the stupid in the universe concentrated into a singularity the size of Ann Coulter's heart.  No intelligent thought could escape!   If you took all the stuff in Conservapedia that made sense, you'd have three piles consisting of a's, the's and an's.  They'd all be red from embarrassment and in Comic Sans because that's the dress code.

Grass cannot survive without a certain fungus that helps it fix nitrogen from the atmosphere and the fungus can't survive without the grass. They must have appeared on earth at the same time. I wondered who they had managed to garble (fungi do not fix nitrogen) so I went to their reference, which turns out to be about a symbiotic relationship between an aphid and a bacterium. At least aphids and grasses are both green, which is probably good enough for their purposes. -------------- All sweeping statements are wrong.

They get something like 1/3 of the sugars produced by the plant's photosynthesis but in return the plant gets a supply of nitrogen, which it can't extract from the air itself. Similar bacteria are also found with alders and a few other plants. The nitrogen fixation does not take place in the presence of free oxygen but the plant produces leghemoglobin, similar to hemoglobin, that supplies oxygen to the bacteria and gives the inside of the nodule a pinkish colour. Many plants have fungi growing into the root and spreading out into the soil in a different symbiotic relationship. Like the bacteria, the fungi (known as vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza or VAMs) get their energy from the plant. In return, the fungi penetrate the soil more thoroughly than the plant roots and are significant in absorbing nutrients, in particular phosphorus. I think Conservapedia got the two confused, exaggerated the importance of the fungi to the plant and gave a link to a third, completely different, symbiotic relationship. -------------- All sweeping statements are wrong.

If they can't understand the concept that humans are not the be-all and end-all, I seriously doubt they would understand pigmentation in leaves, or the fact that those bright colors of reef fish are excellent camouflage in their natural (unlit by human lights) habitats.  It's the same mindset that says that the moon is position just right so that we can have eclipses.

Nomad Posts: 311 Joined: July 2007 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 13 2009,04:13    Holy Hell!  What a bunch of obsequious, cowering mice men!  Some of them recognize that putting a picture of Hitler up on a page about someone else is a bad idea, but they still defer to the authority of the others and merely suggest that multiple copies of the same Hitler picture looks a bit silly, and perhaps it would be better off further down the page. Happily some of them eventually were feeling feisty enough to post something like this:     Quote I think Conservative's a force for good. Say what you want about the man, he's got style. --Wikinterpreter    Yes, a style that involves a lot of Hitler pictures. Corry 17:08, 6 November 2008 (EST) And it gets better.  The talk returns to the subject of the video, which some protested because they knew the interview had been arranged under false pretenses, and we get this:   Quote But all the fuss conceals an even bigger bit of dishonesty. Dawkins and his ilk continually brand intelligent design as "Creationism", on the grounds that ID developed out of Creation Science. They refuse to respect the careful attention ID proponents have taken to remove God completely from the design argument. They pretend not to see it. That is what is so infuriating about these deceivers. They censor the facts, because they have no counterargument. Science should be a marketplace of ideas..

Occasionally there would be a disgusting photo of someone, or bits and pieces of someone. My wife always seemed to know, and would demand to see. It turned out, if it was particularly bad I would say, "Oh My!" Not what I would have thought I would have said (in fact I didn't know that I had said anything). {To give you an indication of the wonderful woman I married- she didn't want me to be alone in viewing the really bad stuff}. One time we were at the Orange County Science Teachers Association annual meeting. Between the dinner and desert there was always a lecture. One year the lecture was on forensic science. There was a slide show of dead bodies, blood spatters, and rape examination. Several people became sick. My wife leaned over and whispered, "I feel bad that I don't feel bad!"

That would be the approximate translation of hemolytic staphylococcus gangrene. Here is something that grossed me out, deriving statistical norms for infant development under famine conditions. The point was being able to tell if the child was dying from starvation, or of disease. I had to keep reminding myself why that was a meaningful distinction.
