Nope. QI fact.
And I'm sure I heard on QI once that water is actually blue, it's just the amount of blue in it is so small, it has to be in large amounts - like a sea or ocean - to see it..

We can do film facts?
Michael J. Fox wasn't originally cast as Marty in Back To The Future, some other actor was because he was busy. They filmed for a few months with the other actor and then when Michael J. Fox became free again, they fired the other actor and got him instead.
