TightEnd: If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural cause.
objection! Too commonly known to be an interesting fact. would have expected better of the tight one. |

Did you actually read that? But wait. What's that? Look closer and you might see that in either a deliberate or accidental tribute to This Is Spinal Tap the volume control on the online player goes up to 11. |

I'm not denying that it is in all probability a reference to spinal tap.
But you can't claim this as fact without some quote from the BBC confirming it.

Well someone from the BBC told me it would go to 11 (as a homage to Spinal Tap) before it was launched. I didn't actually tape the conversation though. |

Just read the question - and the proof that is ISN'T a homage to Spinal Tap is required to make my answer a fail.
You didn't ask for evidence of the correct answer.
