What? Celtic druids didn’t build Stonehenge? Or was it just the year that is the determiner? I felt like it must’ve been older than 500, but then I thought I knew for sure it was Celtic Druids.
People have this weird idea that Celts were the initial inhabitants of the land because they were the ones that were there when the first literate people (the Romans) showed up.
Of course, the Celts were just one wave of an endless cycle of migration, invasion, and conquest. And certainly not the first.
Yeah, apparently Celts building Stonehenge is an extremely common misconception (according to AI). There are still some sources on the web that say the Celts did it (untrustworthy sources, though). Thanks for busting this myth!
Well, the Druids themselves wouldn't have lifted a finger, given their privileged status. I think the popular misconception that Celts built the monument is also due to the obsession Wiccans and Neo Pagans have with the place.
And yet, being a British-German living in Germany, I recall, that pounds, pints and miles were things the "Out" camp were quite passionate about during the Brexit. Ridiculous really, when I was at school in UK some 50+ years ago, maths was done almost exclusively in metric measurements with imperial being just an afterthought in a later class.
Brexiteers and Conservatives were and are just desperate to hang on to anything traditionally "British", without a second thought as to why those things may have been going out of fashion, and regardless of whether they define "Britishness" anyway.
We should have stayed in the EU, adopted the Euro, and binned off imperial measurements entirely. Ok rant over, sorry.
8/10. Missed the first and last. I knew Marciano and Balboa were the movie and a real boxer, but never having seen any of the movie or cared about boxing, I always get them mixed up. And I think I shall start to weigh myself in pounds. I'll be well under 20. LOL.
9/10 for me today, missed the Emma Stone one, I knew Jesse Eisenberg did at least two with the Zombieland movies, thought there might be another one in there
10/10 again finally but I had to guess on #10 - I thought it was twenty pounds so I just went with the biggest number. Thank goodness there wasn't an option for 24 or something.

This theme rocks, by the way.

(Not that any of that expertise really helped in this one beyond a single question, haha!)
I think jetpunk is lying to us 🤥
