[edit] Kinky

Hi. What does this mean? At first I thought it was an inside joke about their friends, but it seems they are talking about a manga. Wikipedia has an article about Akatsuki (Naruto). A.Z. 01:34, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Someone that cares about their favorite anime..way, way, way too much. Fan-pairings, essentially. -Wooty [Woot?] [Spam! Spam! Wonderful spam!] 03:27, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is there a wikipedia article on Miss South Carolinas "10% of americans can't find the U.S.A. on a world map" screw up?

Is there a wikipedia article on Miss South Carolinas "10% of americans can't find the U.S.A. on a world map" screw up? If not where is one/where can I find links to the actual video/when she is re-asked the question on The Today Show. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.183.196.100 (talk) 03:36, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What is the largest recorded street ice hockey game?

Hello, I am trying to find out what the largest street hockey game (played on ice) is. Like, for example if someone flooded the street in the winter and it froze or if there was ice naturally present for playing on. If this information is not available I would also take any info on the largest street hockey game ever played (ie longest street, most players etc.) Or I would appreciate it if anyone at least has any leads. I have checked out Guinness, who seems to keep records in a vault, and other sports mags and blogs to no avail. Thanks in advance! —Lost —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.77.165.34 (talk) 13:49, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] mountain riddle

its end is the mountains smallest name.what is the answer to this riddle? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.24.124.66 (talk) 14:28, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

A word that ends in -mt? Dreamt? Could you provide any more context? Skittle 15:28, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Or crommt? Algebraist 17:00, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Or Klimt? --Sean 20:01, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
I would go with the above line of reasoning, but if that doesn't pan out, then consider this stretch: According to this page, Dotsero is the name of a town in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. The name came from the geographical term "Dot zero" on early maps. "Dot zero" might be considered the mountain's smallest name. The end would be "sero" for Dotsero or "zero" for Dot zero. 152.16.59.190 09:49, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Song hunter

Hi i was wondering if anybody could tell me the name and artist of these two songs featured in the quantum leap episode 'private dancer'.

The first one is featured in the scene when sam and joanne dance together about 10 minutes into the episode, i think it is called 'Get away' but im not sure, and i don't know who sings it.

The second song is about 15 minutes into the episode during the scene when sam is watching diana dance alone. I think it may be called for you, but i don't know who does sing it.

Any answers will be welcome, thanks in advance Sci-fiGOD2k7 18:25, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I would like to know the name of this song...

It is the background music to this game http://www.armorgames.com/games/dreamcatcher.html and its also the background music to multiple "Rayman Raving Rabbids 2" game trailers.

I think the name (obviously) is "Around the World" but I need to be for sure and I also would like who made it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.183.196.100 (talk) 22:34, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

It is indeed called Around the World, and it is by Daft Punk. DuncanHill 22:41, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tiny Spanish comic books

Is there a name for those miniature comic books that are printed in Spanish? Is there an article about them? What are they typically about? --The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 23:23, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

In days of old, there was something called a Tijuana bible. Dunno if that's what you are looking for. / edg ☺ ★ 02:06, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Heh, heh, no that's not what I had in mind. I'm talking about more contemporary books that appear to be, for lack of a better term, the graphic novel equivalent to telenovelas. Mostly I'm wondering if there's a smaller, less widespread Latin equivalent to manga culture.--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 14:44, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
