There was a website that I had quoted a long time ago. The author said something like "when the robots are taking over the world, don't panic. Buy a robot." I loved it. So I linked to it on my old blog. Then years later, I went to the source only to find that the page returned a 404. So I linked to the wayback machine instead. But then, it was removed from the archive.org. I can't even remember the name of the website at this point, just that it had the word "café" in it.

Anyway, all this to say that since there are no sources for this quote, then I'm the new original source. You can quote me on that.

I have seen "That which does not kill us, has made its last mistake" Attributed to myself, through a similar process.

I think I had it in my Usenet sig for a while,and eventually they became the oldest records people could find of it.

Maybe your own site from when the link was present has been archived by the Internet Archive. I'd give it a try, maybe you can recover that link at least
