[Verginius Rufus]

The story about "Let them eat cake" had been told of other people before Marie Antoinette was born.

But I like the Far Side cartoon about Marie Antoinette's last-ditch effort to save her life before she was guillotined: "Did I say 'let them eat cake'? Let them eat cake and ice cream!"

Yep. Yet, articles keep repeating that Marie Antoinette rumor as if it's historical fact.

P.S. The Far Side was always the best comic strip.
