Schubert's Ave Maria was not in fact composed as a setting for the Catholic prayer. It was actually composed for part of Sir Walter Scott's The Lady of the Lake. "Ellen's Song" from the Scott poem begins with "Ave Maria'" and the misconception grew, with the Latin eventually supplanting the Scott.

Blair Tindall, author of Mozart in the Jungle and professional oboist, was very briefly married to Bill Nye the Science Guy. The marriage was declared invalid by the State of California. Neither Nye nor Tindall has since discussed the dissolution of the marriage. Tindall ater broke into Nye's house and stole his laptop, using it to send defamatory emails in his name. She also used herbicide to destroy his garden.
