    jimmy carr was on "t.v heaven, telly hell" lastnight (repeat).
    He's an english comedian, and the show is english for the benefit of americans.
    Anyway, carr chose the pop phsycic derek acorah as one of his "telly hell" list, and used the G.K chesterton quote:

    if people don't bleieve in anything, they'll believe anything"

    nice try jimmy, but chesterton actually said:

    if one doesn't believe in god, he doesn't believe in nothing, he'll belive anything

    but jimmy's version looks better.
