SPY FACT -- Ian Fleming chose the name James Bond for the character of his spy novels because "it was the dullest name I had ever heard."
I responded,
Well,
yes, but it was lifted from the cover of a book in my grandfather's
area of expertise: Ornithology, the study of birds. James Bond was a
published ornithologist back in the 50's. That's where Fleming found
the name.
Bond used the ornithologist role as a cover in a mission that took him to Havana, Cuba. Anyone know which film that was (Clue: it was one of Pierce Brosnon's films)?
(Second clue: Bond meets up with the NSA's Giacinta "Jinx" Johnson)
