Line 50:
* Henry Ford is sometimes believed to be the inventor of the automobile; Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot invented the first self-propelled land vehicle in 1769, intended for transporting artillery, but Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz actually invented the first practical automobile 20 years before Ford. To Ford's credit however, he popularised the assembly line process which streamlined vehicle production and thus democratised automobiles from toys for the affluent to an essential mode of transport.
* [[Marie Antoinette]] never actually said, "Let them eat cake." ([https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Marie_Antoinette Wikiquote says] that phrase comes from [[Jean-Jacques Rousseau]]'s ''Confessions'', written when Marie was 11 years old.)
* There is no concrete evidence that Saint Francis of Assisi wrote the prayer "Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace"; the prayer's earliest known appearance was in 1912 in the French spiritual magazine ''La Clochette''. The Franciscan Order sort-of [[Old Shame|disassociated themselves]] from the prayer, and one church historian remarked that the prayer, while noble in its sentiments, sounded a bit too [[Out-of-Character Moment|uncharacteristic]] for Saint Francis to have written by way of its self-oriented tone, as he is well known for embracing a life of stark modesty compared to the wealthy lifestyle of his family. To Francis' credit, he did however write "[[w:Canticle of the Sun|Canticle of the Sun]]", which is more in line with his personal theology.
