The page on the Second law of thermodynamics has a chapter on "Liberal abuse of second law of thermodynamics". I wasn't sure if I was reading an imitation of The Onion that tries to take itself too seriously.

It's founded by the son of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllis_Schlafly, so that brand of crazy is basically vintage.

That said, it is indeed so insane that trolls sometimes become contributors just to see how far they can push it. There were several known cases of trolls going far enough undetected to get various admin rights (to block etc).
