[QUOTE="JonnyP, post: 1005303, member: 17918"] One of my favourites as it was effectively telling the authorities to take a flying leap at a rolling doughnut: ?Eppur si muove? - Galileo Basically translates to albeit it still moves, this is what he said immediately after being forced to recant the blasphemy that the Earth moves around the Sun and not vice versa which the Vatican wanted to keep pushing for reasons of the usual human condition. The said condition being believing that as they were in charge, what they said had to ALL be taken as the word of the divine. A bit like some governments! [/QUOTE]
