Yep. And then I had it in the back seat or trunk of my car for a couple years! (er, unless it was when we went out to dinner with megan. I don't know?!)
Um, it may still be there. I don't know where it is.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I wonder what percentage of Britons enjoy fucking with pollsters...

My mother pushed it when we were kids, so I'm guessing it does not.

I love it when they stick in things like this. 23% not believing in Churchill? Significantly weird. 3% believing anything? Not.
I wonder, also, if it's possible they thought they were saying, "legend," which one could argue Churchill is.
