They say that some of the metal moulds for the original DeLorean cars now lie in the bottom of the sea off Connemara, having been bought in the bankruptcy sale as scrap by some fisherman who wanted to secure his lobster nets to the floor of the bay. Imagine that. The mould for the cars deemed the world’s sexiest, so much so that they could pass as contemporary in a movie that spammed three decades, used as scrap. Shiny enticements to lobsters on their last journey. And as those crustaceans walk slowly towards the cages that will transport them to the boiling waters of a posh eaterie, one hopes they tap those moulds and say, thanks for the memories. And if that urban myth is true, then today those moulds are unaware that the whole world is talking about them. For just one day. Unaware of the mayhem above the choppy waters that trap them there. They are the focus of international attention because of Marty McFly.

One of the best hoaxes online in recent weeks was the story that July 6, 2010 was the date in the future that Marty McFly flew to in Back To The Future, leaving the eighties behind. In reality the date in the movie was 2015, but if the 2010 date had been true, then McFly would have returned to the eighties, saying "I have seen the future, folks and yes, the Saw Doctors are still in it."
