Newsflash! Brits as dumb as Americans

[simcha]

Even if this is true in any small part...our Greatest Briton was not voted 'Mighty Mouse' or 'Del Boy' whereas apparently the greatest American is...Homer Simpson

I seriously doubt the findings of that survey, I don't know a single person who would think Winston Churchill was fictional character. It's in spelling where the British are particularly thick.

The address used for Sherlock Holmes in Baker street is now a bank. I believe they have an enqueries desk specifically for people looking for old Sherlock. Bad enough that they think he is real but still alive????

Obsession with Ro Dents? Is this some kind of car malfunction?

It doesn't take a Stinking Bishop to make you ill; try to Liederkranz, followed by some nice ripe Durian fruit, and follow it with some Haggis.

A planet is a body of earth surrounded by sky.

When you breathe, you inspire. When you do not breathe you expire.

Same here, seriously who do they ask these questions to?

Plus, I imagine people would have not taken it entirely seriously
