What is #BenCarsonWikipedia and why is it on my Twitter timeline?

You give the Internet an inch, the people of the Internet will take it a mile. Also when you become the Republican frontrunner, you're going to be under more scrutiny than before. These are lessons the Ben Carson 2016 campaign is learning this week.

#BenCarsonWikipedia has taken off on Twitter after Buzzfeed surfaced a video of a Carson in 1998 giving a commencement speech to Andrews University, a Seventh Day Adventist university in Michigan. Carson, as a Seventh Day Adventist, believes in creationism and a strict reading of the Bible.

In the speech, Carson describes the pyramids in Egypt as being built by Joseph to store grain rather than the widely accepted anthropological explanation that they were constructed by the pharaohs as tombs.

So, to many, that is a pretty out-there statement. Vox has a good explainer on Carson's original statement as well as video of him confirming on Wednesday that he still holds the same belief. The article also gives more background on Seventh Day Adventists, what they believe and how they practice their religion.

Being 2015, the people of the Internet have decided to put Carson's statements into context in a satirical and ridiculous manner. Here's the gist: They are posting facts that would be true in a "Ben Carson alternate universe." So essentially a universe in which Ben Carson is elected president of the United States, and these are what you'd find on Wikipedia.

Here are some #BenCarsonWikipedia samples full of snark:
