Academy Award–winning Hollywood director, Ron Howard, gave his three daughters middle names inspired by where they were conceived.
Yup. His actress daughter Bryce Dallas was conceived in Dallas; and twins Paige Carlyle and Jocelyn Carlyle, in the Hotel Carlyle in New York City. Howard has noted that he and his wife named their only son Reed Cross after a London street because “Volvo isn’t a very good middle name.” ![Director, Ron Howard](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJPBEWtE41XyWWiZ1V48SEQ7jVwKvKcyh7aPEhDVgQ8TTtPsQ0JghILV8XJgJxniMwHYGc0XO826bl8-dDhsRz-zl2dmhw_cW1jTCMqx7-p-RUnUfYEAWsIuGN1qNXX8-wyh80/s400/ron_howard_2.jpg)
Pabst, was the first beer sold in a snap-top can.
Nope. It was Iron City beer, in 1962. ![Iron City Beer](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn1Hb5QJu3hwQoPNqmTo-ks4XFplHslr8aklzcssX-xebFo4s3X7Opwy9p_ACGTk5iyDjeWytxSEX14AbJDtjQuUO_FK7NOH3RyMc4o7kNShRLJbt2hgiJPR8wrUjcbnFjleVt/s400/IronCityBeer.jpg)
The Vatican have an observatory in the State of Arizona.
Yep, It does. In Arizona, on Mount Graham, northeast of Tucson, where Jesuit astronomers built the 70-inch Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope in collaboration with the Steward Observatory at the University of Arizona.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4iil2WVdc1q3VbPf2-91u0UoXJ8qM-4V_KRraly4_suEX2UstR9k856coxbWl-wOubehHH7a1VWqtLaWCGqG_W1jjFPUx5A7Qagp3eU8zAKCFXZxbkgyxcPIrfqkY31fgTWxy/s400/vatican_observatory.jpg)
The second half of the phrase that most of us know in shortened form as “happy as a clam" is “. . . at high tide”.
Yep. —although some say “at high water.” !['Happy as a clam at high tide'](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaGejZatxMY_onFqsRD2QJc7U6SvWKZcDeZkFkt1deekH-VKmK2pVh5VsFIEoa21Snrd9DZM2FP565UWWOs-VvB4SuUeZ0X3W9xdOg8EIWNJsgt9T7CcUcof5S7AdD3IvmfVR-/s400/HappyClam1.gif)
Maris Crane, a character on a popular, long-running TV sitcom was never seen—except when she had a pie thrown in her face.
Un-uh. It was Vera, the wife of Norm Peterson on Cheers. She was regularly mentioned on the show, sometimes heard, and fleetingly seen only once—when waitress Diane Chambers accidentally threw a pie in her face. Vera was played by Bernadette Birkette, who is the offscreen wife of George Wendt/Norm Peterson. ![Vera Peteson's face hidden by pie](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmONJPTv-5rI_7wIYM2Y0Ahpcxm8ddxECGmRTxmYy03R_pjbzcEPzQjLHAai8PJCHwJkj4-odoTj8H5ERIJbK092q0gbtY0cJrXzTorhHAIvzgK7zo1w4Ex73LzjgiQYrv3QVU/s400/200px-Vera_cheers.jpg)
