Is it just me or does Edgar paraphrase the last two sentences of The Stand when saying life is a wheel that always comes back around on page 525, paragraph 4?Trainman 2000 (talk) 23:57, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Sounds like "Word Processor of the Gods" in which you "type" things to happen. Make your wife disappear -- press delete. Hope it's not a complete rehash. Globe199 19:38, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Actually what this sounds precisely like is Patrick from the 7th book of the "Dark Tower" series. In the foreword to "From A Buick 8" King wrote that many readers might see Christine in this car and further admitted that after a point, the stories he writes now are retreads. I no longer have the book, so I could be wildly off the mark. Of course he also said he would be retiring with "From A Buick 8" and we can see how that went down.

Bah. They're all recycled concepts. All these stories date back to a story (not King, but a decades ago) about a boy and his paint brush where if he painted a wheel for a cart on the sidewalk, a wheel pops out of the pavement, or if he painted a violin on the side of a brick house, he can pluck the violin out from the side of the house and play it. If someone remembers the name of the story, please tell me.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Duma whole.jpg

Image:Duma whole.jpg 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
