GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[HairOfTheDog]

If I remember right when Al Gore invented the internet that topic came up and was proven to be true.

Poor Al. He'll never live it down.



He said he was responsible for taking the initiative of creating the internet, and he was speaking in political terms at the time. That's not quite the same as claiming to have invented the technology. And, Gore really did contribute a lot to the advancement and promotion of the internet, for which he's been acknowledged by the man most commonly considered the inventor of it.

But, it was poor (or intentionally exaggerating?) wording which got a bit twisted with repetition and has made for some excellent mocking material for decades. It's right up there with Palin claiming to see Russia from her backyard and Quayle's "potatoe" guffaw.
