  • A meme claiming that Andrew Lincoln (a star of the zombie hit television show The Walking Dead) is the son of a survivor of the 1972 Andes flight disaster, and that the actor used his father's experience with cannibalism as the inspiration for the character Rick Grimes, has been circulating on the internet for several years: The above-displayed meme was originally posted to the Interesting Facts page of the IHatePeacocks2.com web site in August 2014. While this web page is full of interesting claims, none of them should be considered facts: The Interesting Facts page is full of humorous but incorrect claims, such as Kim Jong-Un being roommates with the dark lord Cthulhu in college, but the web site's intent can be summed up with one of its own memes: Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 crashed in the Andes Mountains in 13 October 1972. While sixteen passengers did ultimately survive the ordeal (and some did, famously, have to resort to cannibalism to do so) none of the survivors carried the name Lincoln, nor the actor's family name (Clutterbuck). While several profiles of the actor mention Lincoln's father, a businessman, none mention any connection to the 1972 Andes flight disaster: This meme (along with the rest of the memes from this particular site) is a joke and not at all based on factual information.
