Character mistake: Rosie and Villa may be at the pinnacle of their respective careers, but neither knows squat about cars. Villa identifies the burned out hulk of a Pontiac as a '71 Lemans, when it is obviously a '70. Then Rosie has the gall to disparage a '69 GTO as a lemon, when everybody and his brother prefers the 69 over its predecessor, to the tune of more than $10K.

NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service (2003)
Character mistake: Ducky states that the Romans believed that the vein of 4th finger on the left hand ran directly to the heart, thus, logically, it was the "ring" finger. However, there is no evidence that the belief originated with the Romans, nor that the 4th finger has a special vein...the fingers in the hand have a similar vein structure.
