There is a rumor floating around the Internet that
alleges a mystery character from a popular video game
was in reality an American politician from the 1950s.
The rumor is in the form of FIVE QUOTES by a
politician named Adlai Stevenson.
The quotes are rather bizarre, and appear to be
describing parts of a video game called Final Fantasy
3. Each of the quotes seems to suggest that a mystery
character from this video game, known only as Gogo,
was secretly meant to be Adlai Stevenson.
The quotes are referenced, making them somewhat easy
to verify.
After examining the references, I was UNABLE to find
ANY of the five quotes. The Gogo/Adlai Quotes are in
fact a CLEVER HOAX created by a 14-YEAR-OLD BOY, who
was doing a research paper on Adlai Stevenson way back
in the year 2000....
