How would you say, "A thousand Khrushchevs can't be wrong" in Russian?

I heard only one equivalent in Russian: "Миллионы мух не могут ошибаться". It's quite rude proverb. It can be translated as "Millions of flies can't be wrong" and means that pieces of shit are something usefull, becouse it appeal millions of flies. They all can't be wrong :)).

I would love to remind that the working language of this community is Russian :)
It's a relatively funny sentence, so it's good to make it understandable for those who is in the very beginning of their Russian studies.

That's why we always ask to translate the comments in Russian.

I am sorry, but it is not Mr. [livejournal.com profile] wolk_off personally that you have to agree with - it is one of the community rules. In general, I would recommend you to get acquainted with the community rules before you post anything (and this advice is valid for any community, not just this one).

Millions lemmings cannot make mistakes. ( eq thousand moderators can't be wrong ;-D )

I understand, this is so egotistical from their side to disbelieve in your own intellect, but "Dura lex sed lex".

This community is not just you and him, and this is not just a private conversation between two of you in one's private journal. This is why communities have rules, and this is why those rules are mandatory for every member of the community.
