4. The Regency bluestocking heroine can't stop saying "OK," the hero gets the date for the Battle of Waterloo wrong, somebody mentions Darwin's theory of natural selection about 50 years before Charlie-boy publishes On the Origin of the Species, and all the non-English phrases in the book are either gibberish or sound like they'd gone through several drunken rounds of translation and re-translation in Babelfish.

"If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight!..." Sun Tzu said that, and I'd say he knows a little more about fighting than you do, pal, because he invented it! And then he perfected it, so that no living man could best him in the ring of honor. And then he used his fight money to buy two of every animal on earth. And then he herded them onto a boat, and then he beat the crap out of every single one.

Galileo evaded the common trap via first the proper imaginary experiment and then rolling balls down inclined planes, so that air drag didn't messed up his results as much as it would in a free fall from the Tower of Pisa advertised by Hollywood History.
