Description
A humorous collection of quotes from famous people in positions of power that said something...unwise. Perhaps it seemed like a good idea at the time but they sound funny now. A few examples: "Direct thought is not an attribute of femininity. In this woman is now centuries behind man." - Thomas Edison; "There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in their home" - Ken Olson, 1977
