One of my proudest stupid moments on the Internet was when I was chatting to Mike Godwin (I know him through Wikimedia, he was their lawyer for a while) and I compared someone to Neville Chamberlain. … talking to Mike Godwin. He just said “don’t talk to me about WWII stuff, there’s no happy ending to that discussion.”

Understatement of the year! :D
