* TheBlindLeadingTheBlind: What ultimately destroyed the island was depth charges being dropped on it when a [=US=] pilot mistook for a submarine. However, the bombs used would be completely inappropriate for their intended use (bombing Libyan submarines, something that notably does ''not'' have much water to bomb), and confusing matters is that the article has multiple newspaper citations that say "it happened", and not much else, and an EditWar broke out on the article, leading the crew to believe it's an urban legend, and newspapers reported on the story from one another. As of writing, this section is removed from the article.

** Gary mentions that the French dislike anything english, including biscuits (calling them "Biscuits En Glaze"). Gary goes one further and mentions that "We'll get to you" is what the Germans [[CrossesTheLineTwice said to the French in 1939]].
