Jerry Seinfeld

Jerry Seinfeld is said to have 47 Porches and a bunch of other cars. How many computers does he have and what kind are they? 71.100.173.69 (talk) 16:28, 6 April 2008 (UTC) [reply]

Is there anything that gives you the idea that he owns more than just one or two? Dismas|^(talk) 13:20, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, how big of a house would one need to necessitate 47 porches? Poechalkdust (talk) 15:49, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Old show

I remember this old show on the Nine Network called "Challenger". It has people being asked questions, and going through obstacles like a glass sphere, a hall of mirrors and those swing-like thingies. But I can't find any mention of this show anywhere on the Internet. Anyone have a link to a mention of this show? Interactive Fiction Expert/Talk to me 06:54, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know the one you're talking about, but other than one geocities page that lists just about every Australian game show ever ([2]), there's very little evidence that it even existed. It's hard to google for, because the term "challenger" or "challenge" is used so often in reference to game shows already. Frankly, I'm still waiting for them to bring back A*mazing.

My first thought was The Krypton Factor 09:27, 8 April 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hotclaws**== (talk • contribs)

No, it was definitely Challenger. It ran in the late 90s on Australian TV, although it could easily have been based on a show from somewhere else. I can remember that there was a general knowledge portion, and a portion where team members had to find something in a maze that consisted of revolving doors with mirrors on them, while being guided by a teammate who was watching on a screen. More than that, I don't know. Confusing Manifestation(Say hi!) 05:15, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is not Home Sweet Homediddly-Dum-Doodily :( . Although it fits my description. The social worker looks like kind of nerd. He was very skinny. His boss yell at him. He was tracking Homer.

Another Avatar Question

So here is what Im curious about.

This week, Nickelodean is having a marathon of Spongebob Friday night. That makes me mad. I hate spongebob, but anyway...

If the release date of Avatar: The Last Airbender episodes Day of Black sun Part 2(311), The Western Air Temple(312), The Firebending Masters(313), The Boiling Rock Part 1(314), and The Boiling Rock Part 2(315) on DVD is May 6, 2008, then how will Nickelodeon play episode 312-315 on different Fridays before the DVD releases? Will they play both 314 and 315 at the same time? How will they do it? 311 is already out, but 312-315 arent, at least not in the US. Only in Canada.

Also... Why did the Canadians get to see 312 and 313 before we did? Just wondering. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.31.145.125 (talk) 16:55, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When Will Soap Operas Die

When will soap operas die? I swear One Life to Live has been showing its ugly rear for so many years now and nothing is solved. How can they still get any good viewers and good ratings? The show is boring and clearly doesn't make sense. This guy was your brother, but he was thrown in jail for years. We never told him about it. Then you find out the brother is some other guys son and that their mother was sleeping around with someone. How many people are their mothers going to sleep with? Not only that, but so many people have come back from the dead. How does that reflect reality? Soap operas need to die. I don't see how woman can watch them or anyone can watch them in that fact of the matter. I nearly died on the couch watching one episode. I'm going to make it my end mission to stop soap operas from ever appearing again. The show is called One Life to Live not One Life to Live But You Didn't Really Die on that One Life You Lived.

Thank You

Always

Nah. The people who brought it back have always wanted to bring it back. They just had to wait until a)memories of the awful last few seasons faded and softened in the public consciousness b)the people responsible for cancelling last time left/died/changed their minds c)they were in the right positions in the business themselves to bring it back. 'The guys who watched it when they were 8-14' covers a huge proportion of the UK population, given the length of time Dr Who was on and the audiences it typically attracted. The BBC agreed to bringing it back ultimately because it looked like it could attract family audiences and sell toys. People had been moaning for years about the fading of Saturday night family entertainment, and the BBC's always up for things that sell toys. To everyone's surprise it was successful at this, and so they commissioned more :) 130.88.140.121 (talk) 16:25, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I need some help writing an email response

I need some help writing an email response. Yesterday I posted an add on gumtree.com in the dating and friendships section, and today I received several responses from women who are interested. I have narrowed down the list and selected my favorite, a 23 year old girl. Her message was as follows: "Hi liked ur ad - im 23 from south london. like reading, walking, playing badminton, swimming. I also love music. Looking to meet someone to chat to online at first and see how it goes from there. What are u into and what are u looking for? hope the fact im older doesnt bother u." I now have the arduous task of writing a coherent reply, a task which I fear I am incapable of doing. I understand this is an unusual request, but could anyone help me? I am only looking for some pointers, a starting point if you will, on which to build my reply. Please don't advise that I "just be myself". I've been myself for many years and it hasn't helped in courting females. Many regards, Samuel oliver bradford smith (talk) 18:42, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Personal information removed--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back (talk) 03:40, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The reason people say "be honest" and "be yourself" is because the relationship is doomed if you are not honest. You will hit a point at which it is revealed you were dishonest and then you have to try and repair the relationship - which rarely works well. So, if you have any interest in a relationship, be honest and be yourself. If you don't have any interest in a relationship, just tell her that your two favorite things are commitment and changing yourself. -- kainaw ™ 18:50, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm of several minds about the "being yourself" question. Sadly, each of us has repulsive aspects of our personality which are best concealed from prospective lovers, especially during the delicate initial phases. The Fat Man, who has, at times, achieved success in the field of Internet dating, quickly learned that attempts at an overly "honest" profile/ad and initial correspondence--where he revealed too much of his crass inner nature too soon--have not resulted in fireworks. His more successful communications have downplayed his rougher edges and emphasized his charming aspects while avoiding undue fabrication and exaggeration. Don't pretend, don't lie, but have the sense to recognize which aspects of yourself are best unadvertised. Simultaneously, work hard to improve thyself so that those less endearing qualities will diminish over time. For example, get in better physical shape; put some serious energy into your academic or professional output; make new friends; join a club or volunteer organization; get some form of counseling. The inclination to improve oneself is a most attractive quality.

Returning to your specific situation, it sounds like you're already off to a good start--after all, she contacted you! She said she liked your ad--it's your turn to tell her what interests you about her. Compliment her, make a small joke, try to bond over a common interest. Keep it simple, and don't waste time exchanging long or numerous emails. You're looking for a date, not a pen pal. Is there a cultural event in the near future that both of you would care to attend? Is there a bar/club/restaurant/cafe/neighborhood that you both like to visit? If so, be bold and ask her out. Once you meet her in person, do your best to be polite, charming and attentive; if you sense a spark, then try revealing a little more about your inner self--cautiously begin discussing your quirks/aspirations/philosophies/tastes and see if she's receptive. If not, cut your losses and move on to the next prospect. In short, be yourself--but having a selective, sanitized version of yourself is always advisable.--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back (talk) 04:43, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's like every day is Groundhog Day until you start the refinement process as everyone has said so far. Being nice, interested, interesting and taking some cues from her gives you a good start. Julia Rossi (talk) 22:40, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If she doesn't have the grammatical skills or thinking capacity to add two letters to make a word, she either is stupid, or is not looking for a relationship.

Football

This is where sports questions go, right? On the basis that it is, here is my question: what three players, playing for the same European club, have scored the most goals between them? Eg at Man Utd, Carlos Tevez, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney have scored 72 between them in all competitions. How about other clubs? Like Chelsea where you have Anleka, Lampard & Drogba (I'd assume those are their three top scorers) 81.96.161.104 (talk) 14:23, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Above 50: Bayern Munich are 64, Sevilla are on 60, Ajax are on 55 (excluding domestic cup data), Real Madrid are on 51, Arsenal are on 50, but noone seems to come that close. It's very likely that it's Man United, assuming you only want top level clubs in the major leagues. And including goals not scored for their club (ie international, at former clubs as with Anelka) confuses the issue even more. I'm afraid I don't have easily gettable figures for that. --Iae (talk) 21:18, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, it doesn't mean anything in the game, it's just supposed to be "advice" from Strong Bad on how to play the song and get that "squeedly-meedly" heavy metal guitar sound, but not knowing anything about guitars he's made up terms like "trembolo" and "chord surpassers". --Canley (talk) 02:07, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Although Tremolo is a real term, which refers to the end of the solo where you have to play a bunch of the same notes really fast. --Ouzo (talk) 13:40, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Essentially, it's meant to be parody of musical and guitar-related jargon. Someoneinmyheadbutit'snotme (talk) 19:13, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

rocking us

BOTH linkin park and bob dylon are rock. so where's the difference? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nonstop funstop (talk • contribs) 06:28, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Apart from the obvious listening-based difference look at our article Rock music - it suggests that rock is music with a predominantly vocal melody, accompanied by guitar, drums and bass. Since those elements can be used to produce music of such vast difference to each other we tend to see people adding in 'detail' such as soft-rock/hard-rock etc. The difference is obvious when you hear each respective artist, but the component parts are sufficiently similar - though some of Bob Dylan's stuff gets labelled folk music ny156uk (talk) 07:51, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Christina Aguilera's breasts

Are they natural? It doesn't look so to me, but I've never eared she had breast implants. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.0.195.195 (talk) 20:19, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's possible that they're natural. I'm a dude without kids but as far as I understand it, breasts get a bit larger during pregnancy and while lactating. Dismas|^(talk) 20:34, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They were pretty big naturally beforehand. She's breastfeeding, so now they are much bigger. I don't know in exact measurements how much bigger breasts get in general, but I guess at least 50% is about right. Adam Bishop (talk) 03:02, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
