Even though they spell their words with extra "u's" and other strange interpretation of the American Language, there still wasn't enough evidence to suggest that they are, in fact, morons.

Of course Winston Churchill wasn't real. The Duke of Wellington is a pub I think... and Gandhi is just the evil split-persona of Ben Kingsley.

| | | | i dont know where they got this info or whothey asked but i find it hard to believe that people dont believe churchill was real. maybe they interviewed stupid peole that dont know who he is. but for people to believe that he is a fairytale is imo falsified. plus it comes from the daily mail which severely twists the truth. |
