- GoofsPeabody says that the WABAC "teleported Sherman and I" to 13th century China. Correct grammar is "Sherman and me." Peabody is very precise about everything, and should not have made this mistake.

PEABODY'S IMPROBABLE HISTORY: MARCO POLO explains . . .
. . . the difference between a tailor and a cutter. A tailor simply sews together outfits designed by others in the clothing industry, like a connect-the-dots or color-by-number "artist." On the other hand, a cutter designs the clothes--and cuts out the first model, from which all the later copies are adapted to various-sized individuals. As depicted here, Marco perfected this process with his namesake garment, Polo Shirts, as Henry Ford later originated the assembly line to accommodate his corporate car-building manufacturing volume goals. Though Hank attempted to copyright the syllable "Ford" to apply to ALL future automobile, the U. S. Patent office noted that Polo's trademark brand applied to only one style of shirt--NOT to all of them. It would make little sense to beat nags wearing Polo shirts, they added.
