I make a point to attribute most things I post here. I don't like to take credit for anyone else's work because it is dishonest, and it gives license for others to steal my comic gold (or comedy spray painted a golden color, which I feel is mostly the same thing).
And so the Idea of Progress was mortified to realize he had posted the following photo and not attributed it to the owner:
The photograph originally came from John Baird's Flickr page. I don't remember if I took it from there, or if I found it on Google after someone else stole it (I assume the latter, but I can't remember for sure).
The Idea of Progress would like to extend an apology to Mr. Baird.
In light of this disclosure, tIoP would like to make the following admissions:
-I did not write the second uncredited draft of the Geneva Convention, the one where Harry Potter dies in the end.
-I did not create the beloved character of Jar-Jar Binks.
-I only won the Tour de France three times, not four. I was doping for one of those.
-I was not the governor of Nevada. I just told that to girls as a pickup line.
-While I am an ordained reverend (thank you, internet!), I am not the Pope.
-My tears are not diamonds, merely cubic zirconium
-I was not the fifth Beatle. I was the 17th (after Donovan but before Frampton)
-While I can fly higher than an eagle, I am not the wind beneath your wings.
I apologize for any inconvenience caused by previous statements.
