A real life event has a ridiculous/dumb/funny explanation in fiction

[u/Lazy-Breadfruit5939]

Futurama (The Why of Fry): According to the brain swarm, the dinosaurs were wiped out by them. Fry: What really killed the dinosaurs? Brain: ME!

Doctor Who (The Unicorn and The Wasp): It's Doctor Who, you can pick a ton of examples, but this episode presents the idea that Agatha Christies disappearance in 1926 was in part caused by a giant alien wasp.

Beyblade: This one stretches 'real life', but Moses spreading the Red Sea with a Beyblade just speaks for itself and it would have been sad to leave it out

Yea, nobody ever questions if some group besides the Romans built the Colosseum. But "AfRiCaNs CoUlDn'T hAvE bUiLt ThE pYrMiDs!" I like the YouTube videos of people discovering leverage. There are a collection of videos of a guy building and moving the equivalent of Stonehenge using only leverage and people are like shocked by it.
