Woo-Hoo! We're not the only retarded industrialized nation!

Apparently, a quarter of Britons think that Churchill was a myth, and half think that Sherlock Holmes was real!

I'm sure that if you asked Americans, a quarter would think George W. Bush was a myth (well, perhaps he is), and that half think that Cookie Monster is real (well, perhaps he is), but still, at least we're in good company.

This can't possibly surprise you, right? Didn't you spend some time over here? No disrespect to the Brits, but on average they don't seem to be vastly more intelligent than Americans, so those numbers sound about right.

But the accents! Everyone knows you can't be stupid if you have a British accent!
