Saw a guy on TV mix up the Rosetta Stone with the Stone of Destiny
Like buddy, one helped crack Egyptian hieroglyphs, the other is a big block the Scots fought wars over, they aren't even close to the same thing. Has anyone else had to grit their teeth through a documentary fact mix up like that?

Mix up the Rosetta Stone with the Stone of Destiny" is pretty wild. I remember reading somewhere that the Rosetta Stone has three different types of writing on it, which is why it was the key to cracking the code. The Stone of Destiny is just a big slab of sandstone that Scottish kings sat on during their coronations. Totally different jobs, one is for reading, the other is for sitting. It's like confusing a dictionary with a park bench.

Heard my buddy swear at the TV for a full five minutes over that exact mix-up.
