      The original quote WAS Winston Churchill, the bit about Lincoln is just Americans trying to claim it for themselves.

      Churchill was American, I've seen the film[^]

            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?

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

                    Why would you want to suck Chuck Norris' thumb? Don't you just love the vagueness of the English Language sometimes?

                    - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

                      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.

                      No no no. That was said by Marilyn Monroe in 2136. She famously had this conversation with Galileo. George VII was famous for saying: "Justin Bieber is a complete and utter talentless sh*t"

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

                                Churchhill's mother was an American. His father was the duke of Marlborough. Winston was the second son so he did not inheret the title.
