Looks like the Brits and the Yanks have something in common

They both know absolutely nothing about their history!

Well, hopefully 50 years from now, kids will think Paris Hilton was a myth.
Time is but an illusion. Lunch time...doubly so.

Who are "They? "

The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

I think it all has to do with the conspiracy of having MSG, partially hydrogenated oils, and other artificial ingredients in our foods that is degrading all our minds, lol. j/k :D

To be fair, it was only 3000 UKTV Gold (a station that as far as I can gather has re-runs of old mind-numbing sitcoms and soaps) viewers who were surveyed which might explain a few things but I reckon alot of kids of today would come up with similar results. XP

I agree with Nene UKTV Gold viewers aren't exactly going to produce the most promising results. Richard the Lionheart is kind of understandable in that I suppose his story seems so fantastic that it could be mistaken for a myth if you didn't care to look into it. The rest are pretty unforgivable though X|.

Ditto, UKTV Gold and it's viewers don't know what they're talking about, if the BBC were to do the same thing, I'd love to see the differences in the results.

LOL, it's true we're so thick! Seriously, I was shocked at those results but I pressume it's down to a widespread belief in conspiracy theories, drummed into the viewers that have spent too much time watching repeats of the X-Files.

Still, I don't believe Paris Hilton is a real person. I think it's a French hotel.
Out of the gloom a voice said unto me;
"Smile and be happy, things could be worse".
So I smiled and was happy
and behold;
things did get worse...
