Stephen Fry IS Oscar Wilde

Hmmm. So I was walking past the British Library the other day, and I noticed this Stephen Fry quotation on the wall: "An original idea. That can't be too hard. The library must be full of them." The thing is, I didn't see who it was attributed to, and naturally assumed it was an Oscar Wilde pearl. Then I realised that there are some serious similarities between Fry and Wilde:

1) They look similar.

2) They're both masters of wit and humour. As a tit-for-tat example, lets have The Importance of Being Earnest and The Hippopotamus.
3) They're both gay.
4) They've both been on University Challenge:
5) They're both national treasures.
6) Stephen Fry is Oscar Wilde and there's video evidence:
Case closed.
