Q: Born on July 5, 1810, he created the first circus and was the guy who said "There's a sucker born every minute." Who was he?
A: P.T. Barnum. In 2006, having evolved from being suckers, we're now called chumps and dweebs. Yes, it was P.T. Barnum who said, "There's a sucker born every minute." If he were alive today, I'm not sure what he'd be doing -- but it would be somehow connected to the internet. Today he's regarded as the Father of Late-Night TV.
