Anecdote

Did Nelson Mandela die in prison ?

Many people remember Nelson Mandela dying in the 1980s while in prison… but he actually passed away in 2013. This is where the phenomenon gets its name!

02

The Monopoly Man

To this day, many continue to be convinced that the iconic character of the famous Monopoly board game, the man with a mustache and a hat, is wearing a monocle, as the accessory seems to naturally match the character. Still, he has never worn one!

The Song « We Are the Champions » of Queen doesn’t end with « of the world »

This song has been heard over and over again. Yet, if you were asked how it ends, your memory, after having hummed it in your unconscious, would make you say ‘of the world’. Error! Freddie Mercury ends the song with a single « We are the Champions », without sequel!

On Oscar for Leonardo DiCaprio

Many are convinced that the lead actor of ‘Titanic’ had previously won an Oscar for his iconic role in this timeless film. Error! If he does have an Oscar at the moment we are speaking, it is one that he only obtained in 2016 thanks to his acting in the feature film ‘The Revenant’.
