Regarding Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Spike actually wanted to get his soul back! He wasn't tricked by the demon. The viewers were tricked into thinking Spike wanted the chip removed.

Last example for the Real Life section states: "During the Civil War, some recruits often try to join while underage. They manage to accomplish this by putting a piece of paper with a number of it, and then saying when questioned 'I'm over 16.'"

I'm guessing this is a reference to the American Civil War, can anyone confirm this?

is this really a very good image for this page?
