Anyone else noticing the increasing amount of people using quotes as signatures? To open up a can of worms, who was the first one to use a quote as a sig?

Life is like a shit sandwich, the more bread you use the more shit you get.

I think so... A lot of the others are f(*#^$g politicians and they are known to steal everything from the great minds without giving due credit... I'll need to do more research to know for certain though... The general census from most people I've talked to in science and engineering is that it's originally from Einstein. (But I don't know that many people...)
