The Beatles:
The Beatles were four lads from Liverpool, England who decided that they wanted to do what Elvis was doing. So they taught themselves to play guitar and moved to Hamburg, Germany where they played cover songs for two years while taking large amounts of amphetamines. Returning to England, they met Brian Epstein who convinced them to wear suits. This plus a number of hit songs led to their being famous. Later they rebelled against their popular image and wrote songs about the peace movement, but by then they were so popular that people continued to listen to them anyway. They were mostly famous for their mop top hair and tall boots, except for John Lennon, who is famous for breaking up the band with Yoko Ono.
Star Trek:
Star Trek was an idea invented by Gene Roddenberry.
It premiered in 1966 and was largely hated except by some convention types. Later it was tried again and was more successful once the captain went bald. Star Trek often features robots and people who look like elves but they aren't. It also featured William Shatner who is the most awesome force in the universe. The most widely impossible technology in Star Trek is the transporter which in real life could never beam anything anywhere. The Star Trek communicator has been attributed to starting the cell phone, but that's impossible because Alexander Graham Bell wasn't around then.
Communism:
Communism was an idea invented by Karl Marx. At first it was proposed to mean that everyone should be wealthy, but was later amended to only certain people. Communism gave the US a reason to hold hearings in the 1950s. It is also widely attributed to bringing socialized health care to Canada. The only Communists living now are those in the pork-bearing fast food countries. Communism taught us to hate the color pink, or maybe it was red, but either way, it was some kind of color. Communism killed Apollo Creed in the fourth Rocky movie.
