True story: A friend of mine left the cinema after watching Titanic, and 
overheard a couple of people talking.

"Did you know it's based on a real story?"

"Don't be stupid!"

"No, seriously. There REALLY WAS a ship called Titanic and it sank."

"Yeah, well, I bet they've exaggerated it a bit..."

Draw your own conclusions.
