Preacher was a talkin' there's a sermon he gave,
He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved,
You cannot depend on it to be your guide
When it's you who must keep it satisfied

1. Abraham Lincoln's posthumous record, Will Someone Please Invent Paxcil So My Wife Can Stop Having Night Terrors, went double platinum in its first week of sales and featured the shockingly prescient Lincoln-penned "I'll Make You Famous, Bitch!"

2. The highly-anticipated Samuel L. Jackson actioner Snakes On A Plane is actually a remake of a 1943 William Wyler film starring Brian Donlevy, John Carradine, Jane Darwell, Agnes Moorehead and Lionel Barrymore. Lillian Hellman wrote the original script and really resented Wyler's uncredited rewrites. Katherine Hepburn had to be brought in to smooth the whole thing over, it was a real mess and there was always an unbearable tension everytime Hellman visited the set.

3. Bobster is Nathan Fillion. It makes so much sense.

4. Tupac and Biggie are both alive and well as Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie. The Wayans' Brothers film White Girls was actually an unsparingly accurate documentary about the two rappers pawned off as a witless tax writeoff.

You almost had me there El Vez. It was only until I read "Katherine Hepburn had to be brought in to smooth the whole thing over..." that I realised it was a joke. Everybody knows it was Audrey Hepburn and not Katherine.

It is possible to be travelling north on the M3 between Southampton and Basingstoke at a speed of 105 mph while listening to "Dixie Fried" by Carl Perkins and be overtaken twice by other vehicles.

Both police cars? No speed cams, or do they and you have sensors?
