1. Saying that the groups of Jarrod's waxhouse resembled paintings of the Old Masters; in fact those groups were very poorly put together, and were not up to the standards of real wax museums.
2. Making a big deal out of the fact that the eyes of Marie Antoinette follow you everywhere. There's nothing extraordinary about that; all good portraits have that effect.

Re: #2. The portrait "eyes" that seem to follow you around the room are simply done with the gaze of the subject focused directly at the (camera) or artist. Only this way will the eyes always be looking directly at the viewer regardless of his position in the room.
