Doodlebug Anklebiter wrote: "Don't speak to me of naval tradition. It is nothing but rum, the lash and sodomy." According to my source, Churchill's assistant, Anthony Montague-Browne said that although Churchill had not uttered these words, he wished he had.
P.S.
I especially like this debunking:

Paul Addison of Edinburgh University makes this comment: "Surely Churchill can't have used the words attributed to him. He'd been a Conservative at 15 and a Liberal at 35! And would he have talked so disrespectfully of Clemmie, who is generally thought to have been a lifelong Liberal?"

You see, the roots of physical aggression in the male of the species is found right here, in the old DNA molecule itself. Right up here at about one 'o clock as I recall. Oh yes Diane, fascinating -- hold on to your hat, because the very letters, DNA, are an acronym for the words 'Dames Are Not Aggressive.'
There are many theories as to why the Florida orange is far superior to its California counterpart. I personally think it's the trace mineral elements in the Floridian water. That's obviously due to the frequency of typhoons in the nitrogen rich alligator guano. Furthermore, there's three points...
Norm, it's a little known fact that the word Florida comes from the language of the Okie Canokie Indians and it means, literally, "place where the old people come to sweat."
You can make it from Boston to Italy in 8 hours 37 minutes 22 seconds with a good tailwind. Well, unless you take the polar route in which case you run into those convex currents created by the Aurora Borealis.
Oh yeah, and after all the game of billiards was invented by the ancient Venetians, Norm, and it gained popularity after a group of Benedictine Monks invented felt.
You know, recent medical studies have shown that time zone transference, A.K.A. jet lag, not only can be very upsetting to one's metabolism, but also directly correlates to the loss of hair follicles.

Indeed. Some argue that the very quiet (and a few not-so-quiet) issues Brasil has with race are due to this fact.

Patrick Curtin wrote: Dogs can watch TV, they just find most programs banal I heard somewhere that cats' eyes are so sharp that the refresh rate on most TVs is not fast enough to fool them; they perceive a series of flickering still images. This is most pronounced in older TVs; newer LCD models have faster refresh rates.
That means that people who brag that their cats are so smart because they watch TV actually have a cat that is a bit on the slow side.
I don't know how true this is... The internet seems to provide contradictory information.
