Movie fact Beetlejuice 1988: The studio disliked the title "Beetlejuice" and wanted to call the film "House Ghosts." As a joke, Tim Burton suggested the name "Scared Sheetless" and was horrified when the studio actually considered using it.

If an aerial vehicle has a greater-than-one-to-one thrust to weight ratio, the thrust can accelerate the vehicle vertically.

That is the first time I've ever heard Kate Winslet referred to as "the girl in Titanic".

So is Winona Ryder, believe it or not. I'm still not sure I do, but that's what her bio says.

The George cross that appears on the Maltese flag was awarded to the islanders by King George VII of Britain for their heroism during World War II.

Rosemary Clooney was of course George Clooney's aunt...but she was also Debby Boone's (1977 fame "You Light Up My Life" and daughter of Pat Boone) mother in law. Didn't know that until now.

A lot of people think that "enormity" means "really big". It actually means "really horrible".

That's big.

The Nike logo, called the swoosh, was created in 1971 by graphic design student Carolyn Davidson, who was paid a grand total of $35 for the job. Upon her retirement in 1983, Davidson received a golden swoosh ring and a still-undisclosed amount of Nike stock.
