Would that include only real famous people, or do fictional ones (they get quoted too, you know) count as well?

While awaiting your reply, here's one I just thought of:
Al Gore: "I invented the internets!"
He never actually said this. What he said was that he took part in a commission that laid the groundwork for what would eventually become the internets. At least, that's how I remember it.

Hi, Huntard.
The plural "internets" is something Dubya started.
Really? I just thought it was some sort of internet meme thing to refer to it as the internets, or teh interwebs, and stuff. I didn't think Gore actually said it like that, it was more my paraphrasing of what he supposedly said to make it sound extra stupid.
Thanks for the link!
