[sub]A.k.a. a poll of misinformation…[/sub] I’ll come clean and admit this popped into my head after seeing an extra-credit history assignment… My question is: does anyone know of any sites out there that sincerly have just flat out wrong history information on them, but are ironic/funny also? I’m not talking satire, like The Onion, but things like a site of someone who honestly belives little green and purple men from Galaxy Z gave the Allies the tools they needed to crack Germany’s secret codes, and has the ‘proof’ for it. I’m not having much of a problem finding sites with misleading/incorrect information on them: I just got curious as to if there were any really good(?!) gems out there that I’m missing in the sea of google searches. * * * \<\< What we learn from history is that we fail to learn from history. \>\> ---

I’ve always been a fan of [That Wacky Millennium!](http://pw2.netcom.com/~rogermw/millennium.html) and its follow-up, [That Wacky Century!](http://pw2.netcom.com/~rogermw/century.html) Athough a majority of the history is correct, most nuggets of history are not, and the all end in a phrase that starts with “Those wacky…” or “That wacky…” For example: > [@](#): > > 1970 – Astronauts Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton, and Kevin Bacon lead a star-studded special effects extravaganza when their oxygen tank explodes en route to the moon. Private ownership of gold is re-legalized in the United States. Those wacky gold futures contracts! > [sub]From _That Wacky Century_, ©2000 Roger Wilcox[/sub] ---

_follows link and peeks_ Good humor there: but I think it falls more under satire. Doesn’t take away from the reading value though. "1985 — “New Coke” appears, at about the same time the old radioactive water problems at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant are cleaned up. (Coincidence? Read the book!) Those wacky Edsel-like marketing blunders! " I always knew there was a reason why I didn’t like New Coke! 😃 * * * \<\< Foo. \>\> ---

You’ll have to dig around on [this](http://artbell.com/) site, but its got all kinds of wacky things on it, from chupacabras to LGM (Little Green Men), and things you don’t even want to think about. ---

Darn. When I saw the thread’s title, I thought that this might be about _Historical Sites_ with bad history…you know, like the haunted lake where the sexy teenagers died skinny-dipping 100 years ago tonight. 😉 Ranchoth (They found a human skeleton in the park where they filmed part of _A.I._, if that helps. )
