swr: I doubt it. That quote has also been attributed to Thomas Jefferson, Mark Twain, and George Bernard Shaw. In fact, spelling wasn’t even “invented” until the mid-19th century.

When I get older I want to be just like Earl. I already tell my grand kids that I am perfect, I think one of them believes me.

The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits. Albert Einstein Earl has no limits
