    "Play it again, Sam."

    Bogey never spoke that line.

    Another one never spoken by Casey Kasem:

    "This week's top five are held by Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, King Crimson and ELP."

    Albert Einstein never said "compound interest is the most powerful force in the universe."

    At least, he never wrote it, nobody has ever claimed to have heard him say it, and the quote didn't start being attributed to him until well after his death.

    But it always starts flying around during US tax season.

    Also, Al Gore never claimed to have invented the internet.

    Sigmund Freud never said the folloowing which is often attributed to him "The Irish are the only people impervious to psycho-analysis"

    A student of Freud's said it years later, but Freud never said it.

    Jesus never said, "Hey Peter, I can see your house from here"
    Compact Disk brought high fidelity to the masses and audiophiles will never forgive it for that

    All the shit you read on Facebook that was supposedly written by Kurt Vonnegut was not actually written by Kurt Vonnegut.

    Also, replace "Kurt Vonnegut" with "George Carlin" in the above sentence and it still applies.

    John Lennon, too. In fact, you can probably fill up the entire page with names of famous dead people who get that kind of glurge attributed to them on Facebook.

    I remember in his book called Billions and Billions that he explained why he'd never say that: "It's imprecise."

    As for what people have never said, "Let's get Mike Tyson's thoughts on foreign policy."
    Progtopia is a podcast devoted to interviewing progressive rock, metal, and electronic artists from the past and present, featuring their songs and exclusive interviews. Artists interviewed on the show have included Steve Hackett, Sound of Contact, Larry Fast, Circus Maximus, Anubis Gate, Spock's Beard, and many more. http://progtopia.podomatic.com See you in a land called Progtopia!

    Carl did say "Billions". He just didn't say, "Billions and billions".
