- From the page: "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."

- Every good Brit should know that Winston Churchill was not a myth. HE WAS A ROBOT! How else could he have been so witty?

- From the page: "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." It's nice to see the US isn't the only country being attacked with fixed, yet hilarious, statistics.

- Apparently Americans do not have a monopoly on being boneheadedly ahistorical: 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.

- I've grown tired of snobby Brits criticizing Americans for being retarded, looks like it's the Western world itself that's being dumbed down.

- So much for the knowledge of history being prevalent amongst the British peoples -- not to say that we in the United States are any better, and with our failing education system, probably worse ... next time, have a study where your test subjects have internet access when taking these tests and then see how they rank ...
