DR. SHELDON COOPER
A01 S06_E04: It doesn’t matter what the name is

Before moving to Vienna, he had already been rejected by the city's Academy
of Fine Arts. Though he had passed the initial exam in 1907, his drawing skills
were "unsatisfactory," the admissions committee decided. In the fall of 1908,
he again applied to the Academy of Fine Arts, and again they rejected him.
Over much of the next year, he would move from one cheap rented room to
another, even living in a homeless shelter for a time. Then in 1909, he ﬁnally
began earning money by making small oil and watercolor paintings, mostly
images of buildings and other landmarks in Vienna that he copied from
postcards. By selling these paintings to tourists and frame-sellers, he made
enough to move out of the homeless shelter and into a men's home, where
he painted by day and continued studying books at night.

ROUND 2:
The Title Is Right

Q1
1
The general idea behind this 4 word phrase can be traced back to the days of
sailing ships, when the wives of sailors sometimes accompanied their
husbands on long voyages. As privacy was scarce aboard these ships, the
story goes that if a woman gave birth during the voyage, the delivery would
often take place in the most secluded place available: between the cannon’s
on the ship’s ______ deck. The child’s birth would then be noted in the ship’s
log as the phrase in the question.
An American urban myth also proposes that the saying originated in a story
reported in 1864 about a woman impregnated by a bullet that went through
a soldier’s testicles and into her womb. The story about the woman was a
joke; though some readers thought the story was real.
Identify the phrase?
