He was talking to me OB1 :D. Snopes is a very great site for debunking of various false information (though just like anything, if it sounds too crazy, listen to your common sense, and not that horribly stupid saying "it's so crazy it must be true!", which is a statement I hate, and then read the bottom of that page :D). The important thing is that this site sources all it's info. Check the sources and you have a large number of things agreeing on this. Silly billy, snopes rocks.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
