    That's definitely wrong, and is a case in point that you shouldn't believe anything you read on the internet.

      Chuck Norris was scared of the kid who sucked his thumb in class. At high school.

        Whenever I am presented by the notion that travelling through time at anything other than 1 s/s is even remotely possible I offer the following - if at any time in the past or future of life on this, or any other, planet, a being should invent time travel then we would have known about it since before the earliest records. I think that was said by George VII.

          Let's assume that we invent time travel in the future. This means that instead of changing lets say WWI or WWII or any other mischief, we are saying that it was the best that could have happened? :doh:

            Well at the moment you are correct, but if time travel is invented in the future then we could hypothetically go back in time and get Winston Churchill or Abraham Lincoln to say these things for irony's sake.

                      I just came across some one's sig and it shows the quote "The problem with quotes on the internet is that you can never tell if they're genuine" from 'Winston Churchill (1944)'. But Google takes me to http://funny2.com/fakequotes.htm[^] indicating the quotation is from Abraham Lincoln. Anyways I believe the internet itself started as a politically recognized phenomenon only long after the periods of these people right? Any comments?

                      I read somewhere that it was first said by Napoleon Bonaparte around 1795. I believe the other two gentlemen stole the quote without giving credit to the original author.
