-- The bagpipe was not a Scottish invention
-- Abner Doubleday did not invent baseball at Cooperstown -- or anywhere else in America
-- London's Big Ben is neither a clock nor a tower
-- Robert Fulton did not invent the steamboat, and the boat he built was not called the Clermont
-- Cleopatra was not Egyptian
-- Lizzie Borden was acquitted
-- Scores of persons had flown nonstop across the Atlantic before Lindbergh
-- No witches were burned at Salem
-- Edison did not invent the light bulb
-- Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes never said, "Elementary, my dear Watson"
-- Mark Twain was not born in Hannibal, Missouri
-- And, alas, there is no such thing as an aphrodisiac.
