    Wondered what you were talking about until I saw the full stop. Isn't punctuation a wonderful thing!

    Right. First few have a theme. So do the last ones.

    King Charles I walked and talked half an hour after his head was cut off.  Sounds impossible?  Not when punctuated.  Insert a semi-colon after "talked" and a comma after "after".  What a difference a comma can make, as in "What is this thing called love?" and "What is this thing called, love?". Oh how I love being a grammar pedant.
