If I store stuff at 128 kbps on a 512 mb player. What should be my normal capacity? I only got 10 songs stored on here. Maybe it's reading it wrong - since it came from a file I made on my PC but it seems like only a few songs - compared to what I thought it would hold. It's an e100 Sansa SanDisk product and it also can handle SD cards plugged into it's side for more playing capacity. Up to 4 G. What am I doing wrong????? I've searched the site at SanDisk and here but am not finding what I need to learn more with. TY for any help you can provide !!! Newbie Girl
TY for your replies. I will take it from here. I KNEW something wasn't right !!!!

There is a movie made in the '50s about a boy who has been kidnapped or is running from someone because he saw them commit a murder or something like that and it ends with the boy hiding in a cave or hole or crevasse on the side of a cliff in the desert. He gets rescued but it was scary ... you never knew if he would get away or not. Anyone know the name of this film? Diligent 07:08, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
The lyric goes; "Over in Kilarney, many years ago, me mother sang a song to me in tones so sweet and low. Just a simple little ditty, in her good old Irish way, and I'd give the world if she could sing that song to me this day.
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo ral too-ra-loo-ra-li, too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Hush now don't you cry!
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo ral too-ra-loo-ra-li, too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, that's an Irish lullaby."
Where does it come from? Who sang it (other than Care Bears)? DDB 08:42, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

hi all, why are there some novels that have several (usually around 6) blank pages at the end of the book? thanks 195.188.254.82 13:20, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

It was possibly featured in an "animated film festival" type montage/feature thingy (perhaps)?, sometime around the mid to late 1970s (perhaps)? It is possible that __name_unknown__ came out around the same time as Closed Mondays (film). It might have even appeared alongside it. A quick description follows:
A man is depicted hunting butterflies. He is running around catching them in his handy little net. He catches them and then takes them home and sticks pins in them, fastening them in a little display case. One day while the man is out hunting with his net, the most glorious and lovely butterfly ever seen appears to him. Its wings shimmer with radiant and constantly changing hues. Angels (or sirens?) can be heard singing in the background whenever it appears. The man is enraptured and chases after it, trying to catch it, until he finally becomes exhausted and collapses on the ground. The butterfly then gently swoops down to the man's body, carefully lifts him off the ground and flies back to some cave somewhere, abruptly throwing the man's body against a spike-covered wall, filled with the corpses of dead butterfly hunters. The end.
Can anyone name this short animated film? Thanks. NoClutter 20:39, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
This was a one-time comic strip that appeared in an unkown book somewhere around the mid to late 1990s. The name of the book is unknown, but the book was basically a collection of comics from different authors, each of which was in the "counter-culture" or "alternative" style that you might find in an Alternative weekly. Not much more is known about this except a description of the strip itself, which follows:
A man is depicted walking along wearing the staid 1950s style suit and hat (e.g., [Image:Beleyesbogey.jpg]) against a totally white background. The man's walk changes to a steady gait, gait to a jog, jog to a run, and run to a full blown sprint, his hat flying off in the process. Suddenly, he trips over something and his body flies through the air. Transforming into a blob in mid-air, and then finally landing on the ground as some little black creature with nothing except two legs, a mouth and two eyes.
The creature opens its mouth, and another identical creature jumps out. This happens again and again until the frame is full of these creatures. The creatures then form villages in their mouths, which turn into towns, which turn into cities, and the cities are connected by highways that go from mouth to mouth. Then, one of the cities sends a missle to destroy another city, and the cities start bombing each other into rubble.
In the final frame, a man can be seen walking out of the dust cloud, looking back at the rubble. He is wearing the staid 1950s style suit with an expression on his face like "what was that?"
Can anyone name this comic strip or the book it appeared in? Thanks. NoClutter 20:51, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
I say a movie many years ago. It was a movie about a man who had to live the same day over and over again. He wakes up and finds the date has not changed. And he live away from home (I think)and it was some what like "50 First Date".I would like to know the name of the movie. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Emmanuel arthur ( talk • contribs) 14:12, 13 March 2007 (UTC).
Hi,
I would like to know more about the Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Violin 1721 that was found in Southern Germany in 2006 (this info posted on Wikipedia). How would I go about getting more information on this? It is extremely important to me to find how this information came about...who discovered that is was found in southern Germany and as much info as I can get. Please please help me. Thank you.

Can anybody please help with identifying this song:
There is an old song - perhaps pre-1940 - about a king of the cannibals (or savages??) who eats somebody. I believe it is a 'comedy'-type song. It might have been by Phil Harris, but that's a bit of a longshot.
Part way through, there is a line something like,
"Then a missionary with a bible and a canary......"
and at the end is something like,
"It must have been somebody you ate King . Yeah, it must have been somebody you ate."

Thanks, Rockpocket, for trying.
Sincere apologies to any who may have been offended by my seeming impatience, incompetence or lack of manners (shouting). I am, as you may not have realised, something of a novice at this sort of thing; consequently I am not yet fully aware of all the etiquette, protocol etc. Thank you for your guidance. I was not, by the way, actually being impatient - merely registering that Rockpocket's response, helpful though it was, did not answer the question.
I'll learn (quickly I hope)
