    We all know it’s Vaas who said it first.

    Jokes aside though, misattributed quotes are quite the phenomenon. Is it deliberate? Is it some sort of mandela effect? It’s really weird sometimes, but like Gandhi said, don’t believe anything that comes without a verifiable source.

      I thought it was Lincoln who said you can’t trust everything on the Internet? Sounds like Gandhi kinda stoled it, but changed it a little.

      He totally said that! It’s written down in the Internet so it is true!

        Back in Gandhi’s time, you had to do the CSS formatting by hand as well.

          But then Gandhi invented the first autolinter.
