Physics Forums have the advantage that a lot of serious physicists and mathematicians participate in the discussions and, sooner or later, things like that disappear, although sometimes people could be really insistent.

That's a lie, we all make it up as we go.

Wow Crus, you must have gotten a tan since I last saw you, according to your user pic.

He's looking a lot like Cassius Clay, isn't he?

I Am The Greatest! By Cassius Clay.

This is the legend of Cassius Clay, The most beautiful fighter in the world today.
He talks a great deal and brags indeed-y
Of a muscular punch that's incredibly speedy.

The fistic world was dull and weary, With a champ like Liston, things had to be dreary. Then someone with colour, someone with dash
Brought fight fans a-running with cash.

Yes, I'm the man this poem is about I'll be Champ of the World, There isn't a doubt.

Here I predict Mr Liston's dismemberment
I'll hit him so hard, He'll wonder where October,and November went.

I am the greatest!
-Muhammad Ali

Too bad all the hits he took have joggled his brain. He and Howard Cosell were quite a pair.
