One odd thing is that look back at reports of what Sir Newton did, it is believed he had a mild form of Autism, which to be honest, them quotes do seem to fit partly.Newbie DM/PM/GM

I heard this one quite often
"I know the closest artillery is American, what is the worst that can happen"
It is attributed to several people depending upon the story, but usually told to us about why joint manoeuvres with the US is a bad thing.Newbie DM/PM/GM
