• The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window of any building in Paris
• No-one, but no-one uses Microsoft Windows – everyone uses unique operating systems. All of these computer systems, however mundane, are full of animated graphics and enormous download bars in the middle of the screen
• When paying for a taxi, you don’t need to look at your wallet as you take out a note. Just grab one out at random and hand it over. It will always be the exact fare
• Sex is always begun in the missionary position and finished with the woman on top

• Any police officer about to retire from the force will more often than not die on their last day (especially if their family have planned a party)
• Don’t panic if you’re heavily outnumbered in a martial arts fight, your opponents will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around you in a threatening manner until it’s their turn to fight
• Cars will explode instantly when struck by a single bullet
