1. In general, people will express themselves with utter certainty, even if what they say is unlikely and unsubstantiated.

2. Fishbicycle is right in a question about the Beatles.

3. The third point in a list should be concerning a member called Opal, rather than contain actual content.

4. It is very important for batman to be prepared.

5. There is no question so absurd or so irrelevant, that there will not be people to answer it.

This is true. In real life, I am pretty much a Beatles expert. Around here, I don’t even bother.
