You guys are starting to get really personal here...am I going to have bring up the Size Does/Doesn't Matter debate to even the odds here? ===== Not everyone can get 15 minutes of fame. The earth's population is about 6 billion. At 15 minutes per person, that amounts to over 171,000 years we'd have to spend just sitting around watching people be "famous."

In any case, the originator of the quote, Andy Warhol, is one of those people who now appears, with the benefit of hindsight, in his true colours as a pretentious and now irrelevant fraud. Very much in the mould of John Lennon I think we'd all agree ... or would have thought so until he made the top ten in the BBC's "100 Greatest Britons" last year.
