I heard a great quote when I was in England that went something like, "I spent 95% of my money on women, fast cars and booze. The other 5% I wasted." Can somebody tell me the exact quote and who said it? Who said "The sun never sets on the British Empire" and what was the exact quote? What two countries were formerly separated by the Berlin Wall? Does anyone know the top 50 countries with the most high-rise buildings?
