To the President of Nigeria, dressed in traditional robes 'You look like you’re ready for bed! On key problems facing Brazil "Brazilians live there' When asked i hed like to visit the Soviet Union "The bastards murdered half my family" To an asian man at a Washington Confrence "are you Indian or Pakistani I can never tell the diffrence with you chaps" To a blind women with a guide "Do you know they have eating dogs for the anorexic now" Speaking to a driving instructor in Scotland, he asked: "How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to get them through the test?" "I don’t think a prostitute is more moral than a wife,but they are good for doing the same thing" When visiting China in 1986, he told a group of British students, "If you stay here much longer, you'll all be slitty-eyed". After accepting a gift from a Kenyan citizen he replied, "You are a woman, aren't you?" "If it has four legs and is not a chair, has wings and is not an aeroplane, or swims and is not a submarine, the Cantonese will eat it." (1986) To a British student in Papua New Guinea: "You managed not to get eaten then?" "When a man opens the car door for his wife,it’s either a new car or a new wife". Angering local residents in Lockerbie when on a visit to the town in 1993, the Prince said to a man who lived in a road where eleven people had been killed by wreckage from the Pan Am jumbo jet: "People usually say that after a fire it is water damage that is the worst. We are still trying to dry out Windsor Castle." On a visit to the new National Assembly for Wales in Cardiff, he told a group of deaf children standing next to a Jamaican steel drum band, "Deaf? If you are near there, no wonder you are deaf." In 2002, he asked an Indigenous Australian businessman, "Do you still throw spears at each other?" Said to a Briton in Budapest, Hungary, "You can't have been here that long you haven't got a pot belly." (1993) Seeing a shoddily installed fuse box in a high-tech Edinburgh factory, HRH remarked that it looked "like it was put in by an Indian". "Aren't most of you descended from pirates?" (in 1994, to an islander in the Cayman Islands) At the height of the recession in 1981 he said: "Everybody was saying we must have more leisure. Now they are complaining they are unemployed." Upon presenting a Duke of Edinburgh Award to a student, when informed that the young man was going to help out in Romania for six months, he asked if the student was going to help the Romanian orphans; upon being informed he was not, it was claimed the 85-year-old duke added: "Ah good, there's so many over there you feel they breed them just to put in orphanages." At the University of Salford, he told a 13-year-old aspiring astronaut: "You could do with losing a bit of weight." In 1997, the Duke of Edinburgh, participating in an already controversial British visit to the Jallianwala Bagh massacre (Amritsar Massacre) Monument, provoked outrage in India and in the UK with an offhand comment. Having observed a plaque claiming 2,000 casualties, Prince Philip observed, "That's not right. The number is less." During a Royal visit to a Tamil Hindu temple in London, he asked a Hindu priest if he was related to the terrorist Tamil Tigers. In 1996, he drew sharp criticism when he said "a gun is no more dangerous than a cricket bat in the hands of a madman". The comment came in the wake of the massacre of 16 children and their teacher in Dunblane, Scotland. In 1987, he wrote in his book If I Were an Animal that "In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation." "Dontopedalogy is the science of opening your mouth and putting your foot in it,a science which I have practiced for a good many years".  [Edited 7/14/09 17:36pm] Everybody's looking 4 the ladder

Philip was born at the Villa Mon Repos on the Greek island of Corfu on 10 June 1921, the only son and fifth and final child of Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark and Princess Alice of Battenberg.[3] The Prince was baptised at St. George's Church at the Palaio Frourio (Old Fortress) in Haddokkos a few days after his birth. His godparents were his paternal grandmother (Queen Olga of Greece) and the Corfu community, represented by Alexander Kokotos, Mayor of Corfu, and Stylianos Maniarizis, Chairman of the Corfu City Council.
Shortly after Philip's birth, his maternal grandfather, Prince Louis of Battenberg, died in London. Louis was a naturalised British citizen and, after long and distinguished service in the Royal Navy, had renounced his German titles, and adopted the surname Mountbatten. After visiting London for the memorial, Philip and his mother returned to Greece where Prince Andrew had remained behind to command an army division embroiled in the Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922).[4] The war went badly for Greece, and the Turks made large gains. On 22 September 1922, Philip's uncle, the reigning King Constantine I of Greece, was forced to abdicate, and Prince Andrew, along with others, was arrested by the military government. The commander of the army, General Georgios Hatzianestis, and five senior politicians were executed. Prince Andrew's life was believed to be in danger, and Alice was under surveillance. In December, a revolutionary court banished Prince Andrew from Greece for life.[5] The British naval vessel HMS Calypso evacuated Prince Andrew's family, with Philip carried to safety in a cot made from an orange box. He and his family were taken to France, where they settled in the Saint-Cloud suburb of Paris.[6] don't know.
