    Just as a side note, the main dude who fell for “Piltdown Man” went to his grave swearing it was “true” regardless of the fact that the hoaxters admitted to the fraud.

  4. Come to think of it, many Americans still refer to Obola as “the President” regardless of the voter fraud in 2012 and the lies surrounding his nativity, travels, and education.
