Wow! Is everybody that insists on writing on this post completely illiterate. Olly, “”Mine 98%…” is not correct. I do not feel the need to continue with you. Memememeee, “The ones that sight a reputable source sometimes have empirical evidence, though.” For one, “The ones” is not gramatically correct. For two, “sight” is not the correct usage. It should be “cite”. And for three, if you our citing something, and you beleive it is correct, that information is not made up then. Just because you reiderate it does not make it any less true.

[...] This weeks quote was originally pulled from The Quotations Page and attributed to Anonymous. A little digging shows that it is likely a misquotation (or addition) to an original quote from Steven Wright, though the 98% figure has been claimed (perhaps aftert the fact?) by Clovis-Sangrail at Deviant Art.
