** One article lists "superheroes that probably won't be hitting the big screen anytime soon." One of those is Squirrel Girl, who eventually got so popular she made it to the small screen, in the animated ''Marvel Secret Warriors'' and the live-action ''Series/CloakAndDagger''.

* CriticalResearchFailure:
** One volume had, following an article on the history of ''Series/FamilyFeud'', a list that was ostensibly funny answers culled from the show. In actuality, most (if not all) came from the British version, ''Series/FamilyFortunes''. You'd think the fact that one of the questions was "Name a job that requires a torch" (Britspeak for "flashlight") would've tipped them off.
** The same book had a list of trivia about sloths. In the first printing, it mentioned a species of sloth that was apparently dying off because it took too much energy for it to mate. This "fact" was replaced with another in later editions.

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: The 25th anniversary edition had an article about ''Series/{{Glee}}'', and said that the first song sung on the show was [[Music/ArethaFranklin "Respect"]], sung by Mercedes as her audition for New Directions. While it was the first song ''sung by a main character'', it was actually the second song performed overall - the ''actual'' first song was [[Theatre/{{Oliver}} "Where Is Love"]], sung by two minor characters who were subjected to ChuckCunninghamSyndrome later on. (And both songs were barely prominent; the first ''full'' song on the show was [[Theatre/LesMiserables "On My Own"]], sung by Rachel as her glee audition, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_in_Glee_(season_1) which was the fifth song overall.]])
