Culturally, Russian people have no concept of either self-depracation or light-hearted banter.

When their Embassy tweets what Brits might see as subtle humour or satire, it is meant as a genuine insult.

Did you get that astonishing fact from the Sun or the Daily Mail?

Well, it was actually rumoured to be a Ferrari (and other sources, a VW Beetle) but...

Quote

 

Legend: A red Ferrari is visible during the chariot race.

Background: Apparently there is a split second glimpse of a red sports car behind one of the pillars at the stadium. The background to this legend is unknown but it still persists.

True or False: False

Legend Explained: totalfilm.com , ever dedicated to the facts, has spent many hours studying the chariot race footage.

We can conclude, with bloodshot eyes and motion sickness, that there is no sign of a sports car of any kind during the scene.

Director William Wyler vehemently denies this claim, along with Heston and others involved in the production.

Several books and websites concur with our verdict, and if it says so in a book then it must be true.

Is it delivered? Are we supposed to collect it ourselves?  You'd think they'd put a note through the door wouldn't you.

The McDonalds Big Mac had two previous names: the 'Aristocrat' and then 'Blue Ribbon Burger'.

The name 'Big Mac' was created by Esther Glickstein Rose, a 21-year-old advertising secretary who worked at McDonald’s corporate HQ in Oak Brook, Illinois.
