Trivia

What long-range U.S. Air Force bomber had a hairstyle, a New Wave rock band, and a cocktail named after it?

• The B-52 Stratofortress strategic bomber. The beehive hairstyle was dubbed the B-52 because of its resemblance to the bomber’s bulbous nose cone; the band, because its two female members wore beehive wigs; and the cocktail, the B-52 shooter, because of its bomblike impact.
