Amusingly, there was a bit in the Economist about a guy believing that Robert Hardman's estimation on how many people the Queen had met was ridiculous (4 million which apparently is 170 per day). It then goes on to discuss a claim that Churchill had smoked 250,000 cigars which is over 7 per day which includes him from age 0. If you go from age 10, this is over 8 cigars per day

How he managed to live to 90 given his smoking and drinking habits, is somewhat a mystery.

"The greatness of a nation consists not so much in the number of its people or the extent of its territory as in the extent and justice of its compassion" - Inscribed on the plinth of the Horse Memorial in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
"Many politicians are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident proposition that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim." ~ Thomas Babington Macaulay
What I hope to be The Thousandth Man - Quote:
-
0NE man in a thousand, Solomon says. Will stick more close than a brother. And it's worth while seeking him half your days If you find him before the other. Nine hundred and ninety-nine depend On what the world sees in you, But the Thousandth Man will stand your friend With the whole round world agin you.
'Tis neither promise nor prayer nor show Will settle the finding for 'ee. Nine hundred and ninety-nine of 'em go By your looks, or your acts, or your glory.
But if he finds you and you find him, The rest of the world don't matter; For the Thousandth Man will sink or swim With you in any water.
You can use his purse with no more talk Than he uses yours for his spendings, And laugh and meet in your daily walk As though there had been no lendings.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine of 'em call For silver and gold in their dealings; But the Thousandth Man he's worth 'em all Because you can show him your feelings.
His wrong's your wrong, and his right's your right, In season or out of season. Stand up and back it in all men's sight With that for your only reason!
Nine hundred and ninety-nine can't bide The shame or mocking or laughter, But the Thousandth Man will stand by your side To the gallows-foot - and after!

I could imagine Winston smoking from 10. His father probably smoked in the chimneys (from the fire? I'm so punny.)
Also I found the hmm hmm ...
Rachel's Boobs thread ( :evil: ), and I'm wondering if I should still be here.
