I was watching Young Frankenstein last night, and in the scene where Igor goes 
to get a brain from the Brain Depositary, I noticed that one of the brains was 
labelled "Charles Opie, Missionary."

Naturally the name Opie caught my eye, so I did a bit of research. It seems 
that there was a graphic artist named Charles Opie who had previously worked as 
a preacher. The artist who made the labels for the brain jars was a buddy of 
Opie's, so he put the name on the label as an inside joke. Apparently Charles 
Opie didn't find out about it until many years later.
