Hey Savage Parrot

What happening on your island? Are you guys starting 'dumb down' like we are in America? We have a big lead in that department, but I hope the UK isn't trying to challenge us is this game!

LONDON (AFP) - Britons are losing their grip on reality, according to a poll out Monday which showed
that nearly a quarter think Winston Churchill was a myth while the majority reckon Sherlock Holmes was real.


The survey found that 47 percent thought the 12th century English king Richard the Lionheart was a myth.
And 23 percent thought World War II prime minister Churchill was made up. The same percentage thought
Crimean War nurse Florence Nightingale did not actually exist.
Three percent thought Charles Dickens, one of Britain's most famous writers, is a work of fiction himself.
Indian political leader Mahatma Gandhi and Battle of Waterloo victor the Duke of Wellington also appeared
in the top 10 of people thought to be myths.
Meanwhile, 58 percent thought Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional detective Holmes actually existed; 33 percent
thought the same of W. E. Johns' fictional pilot and adventurer Biggles.
UKTV Gold television surveyed 3,000 people.
Failing to plead
with a throat full of dust
Life falls asleep
in a fetal position.
