Each piece individually could be real -- although a few seem a little
too cute.
I once had a student write, in a paragraph about the British royal
family: the prince and the other whales.
Another wrote about The Canadian Pacific Railway [built with public
money by Cornelius Vanderbilt and friends]: a band of steal running
across the country. [More true than he knew...]
