* On ''Series/{{House}}'', it's established that House's mother often cheated on his father. House is aware of this, and wonders if the man who raised him is really his biological father. When his father dies, House manages to secretly cut off a little bit of the corpse's hair to do a DNA test. It turns out the dead man isn't House's biological father, and so House develops a theory that a Unitarian minister that is a long-time friend of his parents might actually be his dad. He gets especially suspicious of this when his mother starts an open relationship with the minister after his legal father's death. He manages to sneak a napkin that the minister used out of the restaurant after having dinner with the man and his mother, and does a DNA test on that, [[spoiler:but it turns out negative. It is never established after that who House's biological father is.]]

This was sort-of confirmed in the ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'' novel ''Literature/DarthPlagueis'': according to that book, the Force created Anakin as a reaction to Plagueis tampering with it in his experiments. However, the Disney-era ''Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse'' novel ''[[Literature/StarWarsQueensPeril Queen's Peril]]'' stated that Sidious was the sole Dark Lord of the Sith in the film period, and left it an open question whether Plagueis ever even existed in the new canon.
