Forget the DOW and NASDAQ. Western civilization hit a new low today, as reported in the London Daily Mail. In an article titled "Challenge Churchill!" the results of a recent poll revealed that one in four Britons polled believe that Winston Churchill was a fictional character. Other "fictional" characters included Richard the Lionheart, Sir Walter Raleigh, Charles Dickens and Cleopatra. On the other hand, the respondents knew that Robin Hood, The Three Musketeers, and Sherlock Holmes were real.
Of course, in a postmodern society, who's to say?
