[edit]I've never heard of a version of "TV screen" that mentions domestic birds...
My recollection, the "theme tune" link, and the link to the 2004 version of the song from http://www.rte.ie/tv/theview/archive/20041130.html (Realplayer; last item on the page) all sound like "ticket" rather than "chicken" in the last line.
Still, I've never actually heard the theme off air so am suggesting this via a talk page rather than the main page, just in case someone is having a laugh.
Sorry, i actually did think it was "Chicken". EamonnPKeane 19:30, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Blizzlogo.gif
[edit]
Image:Blizzlogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Ratio, Proportion, & Percentage
[edit]A ratio compares two numbers by division. For example, suppose a scientist counts 800 wolves and 1,200 moose on an island. The ratio of wolves to moose can be written as an fraction, 800/1,200 , which can be reduced to 2/3. The same ratio can also be expressed as 2 to 3 or 2 : 3. A proportion is a mathematical sentence saying that two ratios are equivalent. For example, suppose a scientist counts 25 beetles in an area of square meters. The scientist wants to estimate the number of beetles in 100 square meters. A percentage is a ratio that compares a number to 100. For example, there are 37 granite rocks in a collection that consists of 100 rocks. The ratio 37/100 can be written as 37% of the rock collection. You can calculate percentages of numbers other than 100 by setting up a proportion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shjames02 (talk • contribs) 22:23, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
