The first two are "Boys (Summertime Love)" and "I Surrender (To the Spirit of the Night)". but I have no idea what the other ones are. --jh51681 (talk) 03:22, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]


whats the last song called —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tom12350 (talkcontribs) 05:25, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

! When I clicked the link, my computer got flooded with weblinks opening all over the place (I don't know what this is called, but I am sure most of you have experienced this at some point too). Moreover, from what I could see before I had to shut down my browser, it didn't look safe for viewing at one's workplace. Just a warning, not trying to censor anything. ---Sluzzelin talk 08:40, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I now saw that Tom12350 had included "link is nsfw" in his post. (If only I had recognized that initialism :-). ---Sluzzelin talk 08:58, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Star Trek Augments

[edit]

I know I read somewhere the latin name for the Augments from Star Trek (e.g. Khan Noonien Singh). I know it was homo sapien (something). Can anyone help? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.250.117.26 (talk) 01:41, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there is any such name in Star Trek canon. If there was, it would almost certainly be mentioned here. --Tango (talk) 02:25, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps it is in one of the novels (which are non-canon, of course). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.250.117.26 (talk) 05:00, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Criminal Minds episode

[edit]

I recently watched the Criminal Minds episode where there was a guy who transmitted live strangulations over the net. One suspect was an older guy who sold the unsub a refridgeration unit (where the murderer stored the bodies). Although I have watched and rewatched the episode, I can't figure out what the old guy did or what his connection was. Rossi (the FBI agent) was adament that there was a connection. Can anyone help me figure out what the old guy did wrong? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.250.117.26 (talk) 01:44, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

time space dimension is curved

[edit]

Most people think about travelling with speed of light,if we closely observe Theory of relativity by einstein where he said that gravity is force which is created by displacement by masses in time space dimension.And now coming to topic where most think wormhole is best way to by speed of light or move one place to anthour place in less time,but to travel that way the start and end point should be connected which completes the cycle because of which can draw to conclusions that it is cylinderical or sperical.But this conclusions has some problems which I can think such as we can't travel into past and after certain period we end up where we begin. The possible solution is it has to be helical in shape,with its two ends representing start and end of universe,telling that its ends the way it has begin.And the displacement in dimension may due the energy possesed by masses,unlike only by its mass.And as time passes by,energy of the mass is dispersed to surrounding. if we combine mechanics and dynamics we may be able find amount of energy required for wormhole or minimum mass required for formation of black hole.Sciencesri (talk) 08:07, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Science desk is that way... Dismas|(talk) 08:10, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That's ok, the post contains more entertaining content than it does actual science. Not quite Time Cube level, but I can't see a question in there to try to answer, anyway. Confusing Manifestation(Say hi!) 05:51, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Beatles interview

[edit]

I remember a Beatles interview in which a female American reporter made a really stupid comment which went something like this: "Well you all have haircuts and play a guitar". Does anyone know when and where this interview took place and to which Beatle the remark was addressed? Thank you.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:18, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Probably an early one, like when they first arrived in 1964. I thought it was at the press conference at JFK when they landed, and there are lots of questions about their hair, but nothing like that specifically. You can read it here, and any of their other interviews at BeatlesInterviews.org. Adam Bishop (talk) 19:23, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Adam, I'll take a look at the site you listed here. I just happened to recall it might have come from that documentary British Rock.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 19:30, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I can remember another female interviewer asking one of them: "Well which Beedle are you, honey?". Again, I think it might come from British Rock.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 19:33, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There was a press conference early in the Beatles' career where a reported asked them, "What do you call that haircut?" George's answer was, "Arthur." Everard Proudfoot (talk) 21:03, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No, I am pretty sure that was a scene from A Hard Day's Night (film) and not an actual press conference. Lots of the "Beetles acting cheeky at a press conference in black and white" you see in little clips was actually from the same scene. While the Beetles had their cheeky moments, I am not sure that anything quite so drole ever occurred spontaneously in actual press conferences. --Jayron32 01:23, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The one at JFK that I linked to has "Can any of you actually sing?" and John says "No, we need money first". That's better than anything in Hard Day's Night! Adam Bishop (talk) 12:15, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I like the interview when John is asked why he thought the Beatles were more successful than their fellow Liverpudlian bands, and George butted in: "Because we got a record contract".--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:08, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Film ID

[edit]

If someone can help me identify this film for me it'd be great:

It was Japanese, I think. An animation, sort of like Manga. It was centred around a young girl whose family and eventually the people around them turn really weird and then she has to go to a castle somewhere to meet an elder to ask for help. It was set in present-day Japan I think, and it was broadcast on British TV a couple of years ago. It's really stuck in my mind and if anyone can help that would be really great! Thanks!

Howl's Moving Castle? DuncanHill (talk) 19:10, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It might've been - it sounds familiar in places but I do not recognise other parts of the plot. Does anyone else have any other guesses? Thanks DuncanHill, but I am still not sure - if no one else has a guess or suggestion then I'll go with that film because there's so little I can remember about it. There was another thing though - there was a prominent scene in a washing-room of some kind, a market and a place where lots of people were eating, but because everyone around the girl had changed they were eating really gross food and their faces were all mangled... A bit vague but I promise that's all I can remember! Chevymontecarlo 20:41, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That's exactly Howl's Moving Castle. Her relatives eat at some public stand, and they're transformed into pigs. There is also a lengthy washroom laundry sequence. -- Finlay McWalterTalk 20:48, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That scene you describe is from Spirited Away, actually...--Leon (talk) 21:56, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
D'oh! You're right, they seem to have blended together in my limited brain. -- Finlay McWalterTalk 22:02, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds like Spirited Away to me. Astronaut (talk) 12:22, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You guys are great! Thanks a lot! Chevymontecarlo 15:26, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
