I just read on CNN.com that 1 in 4 people questioned (3000 in the survey) in England believe that Winston Churchill, Ghandi and Cleopatra are fictional characters, and many questioned believed that Sherlock Holmes is a real person - go figure?

Didn't somebody once say 'Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it' I suppose that appies to ignorane of the past as well.
