... and according to most modern historians, that "faster horse" quote was a fabrication.
I wonder if I'll ever be so famous that years after my death, people will make up quotes that I supposedly said.
Remember, kiddies, Mr Gone in 60, who invented the garage door, once said, “chopsticks? I smashed ’em!”
It’s started already mate.

Thank you very much for your encouragement.
And yeah... just thinking about it, I went to the kitchen and pulled out some chopsticks from the drawer where everyone throws the extra soy sauce, ketchup and hot sauce packets. I'm going to try picking up things off my desk with 'em. Might be less pressure than actually sitting in a Japanese restaurant with everyone else at the table saying "Whaddya mean you can't use them. Here, let me show you the rubber band trick." Yeah yeah...
Maybe there will also be a quote, who knows, some day...
"Yeah, remember Gone? One day he said "I finally got off my butt and checked the valves on my CB1100. And guess what, after tearing the thing down to the top of the engine, they were all in spec. I could have been watching TV, but no, I had to waste my time out here for nothing!""
