"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question."
-- Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
another Churchill one (first line isn't churchill):
"Winston!, if I was your wife, I'd poison your tea"
"Madam, if I was your husband, I would drink it"
The UK parliament is fantastic place to observe flame wars. Bliar, and the leader of the opposition, keep trying to get one up on each other, accomapnied by much jeering from their own people. Sheer hilarity.
