1. He had lots of phobias (including eggs and jail cells!)
Hitchcock had a lot of fears. The most unusual of these phobias was probably his fear of breakfast foods. More specifically: chicken eggs. The oozy yellow yolks, specifically, freaked him out. He once said,
2. He was one of the first to make cameo appearances
Sir Hitchcock has 52 major films that have survived (one of his silent films from 1927 has been lost) and he makes cameo appearances in 37 of them.
3. He popularized the MacGuffin
it’s something used in a plot that helps to advance the story, but doesn’t really matter for any other reason than to advance the story. For instance, Harrison Ford once told David Letterman that all of the objects in the Indiana Jones movies are basically MacGuffins.
4. He tried to hide Cary Grant in Lincoln’s Nose
In North by Northwest, the climactic scene happens on Mount Rushmore. He wanted Cary Grant to hide out in Lincoln’s nose, but have his pursuants discover him when he sneezes.

1. Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you’d have to buy a new car.
2. Occasionally, your car would die on the freeway for no reason, and you’d have to restart it. For some strange reason, you’d just accept this and drive on.
3. Occasionally, executing a maneuver would cause your car to stop, fail to restart, and you’d have to reinstall the engine. For some strange reason, you’d just accept this too.
4. If you were involved in a crash, you would have no idea what happened.
5. Someone else - say, a company called Macintosh - would make a car that was powered by the sun, was twice as fast, and twice as easy to drive. But, it would only run on one road in twenty.
6. The Macintosh car owners would get expensive Microsoft upgrades to their cars which would make their cars run much slower.
7. The oil, engine, petrol, and alternator warning lights would be replaced by a single “ERROR” warning light.
8. New seats would require everyone to have the same size backside.
9. You could only have one person in the car at a time, unless you bought a “Car95″ or a “CarNT.” But, then you’d have to buy more seats.
10. The airbag system would say, “Are you sure?” before going off.
