Quotiki
Be interesting to see, as Quotiki evolves, whether general misinformation about quotations and attributions gets picked up as gospel.
Case in point: a recent discussion on ADS-L discussing "Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana."
Oft times attributed to Groucho Marx, this quote is now attributed to Tony Oettinger, a professor with interests in computational linguistics with a 1966 cite.
The gang of word huggers on the ADS-L list are merrily trying to antedate the quote and/or confirm it with Oettinger.
