In pages 31-31 in Chapter 2 of the novel The Amber Spyglass, after the angel Balthamos told Will Parry that God was not really a god but was actually an angel, he said this:
- "One of those who came later was wiser than he was, and she found the truth, so he banished her. We serve her still."
I don't understand. Who was that female angel who found that out, whom Balthamos and Baruch served? Is there any clue? Was that what led to the first rebellion by angels against God in the story?

What are the lyrics of Go Diego Go? My 3 year old loves the show (OK, I do too!) but as I don't speak Spanish, I can't figure out the words. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.154.18.118 ( talk) 02:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Fairly self-explanatory title. 140.247.236.240 ( talk) 19:09, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- Strictly speaking, rapping is a vocal style while Hip hop is a genre. However they are closely related, and hip hop music is quite often called simply "rap". Friday (talk) 19:14, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- By example, turntablism can be considered an "instrumental" form of hip-hop. It can also be argued The Last Poets were rappers before hip-hop existed. (However, some would dispute both of these examples as being clearly within the definitions of hip-hop and rap.) / edg ☺ ☭ 19:22, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- Often when people say things along the lines of, "I listen to hip-hop not rap", they are using rap to mean more specifically gangsta rap, or "commercialized" versus " underground rap". So you can say it's all hip-hop or it's all rap music, but many people place different artists and music into these seperate categories as a way of distinguishing their preference for certain styles of music within the overall genre. So someone might claim that the music of 50 Cent and Ludacris is rap, whereas that of Mos Def and Talib Kweli is hip-hop. Of course the way people use these terms varies widely across times and places and is constantly shifting and evolving, so you're not gonna find real clear cut and agreed upon definitions unless you use Friday's "strictly speaking" ones. Hope that helps. Azi Like a Fox ( talk) 05:12, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm having a hard time finding past Oricon sales charts. Specifically, I'm trying to find them for " White Summer and Green Bicycle, Red Hair with Black Guitar." by The Pillows.-- SeizureDog ( talk) 23:26, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- The reason that you can not find it is the song has never charted in the single chart. This is the list of the group's singles and albums. You can find the chart record when you click their number 1 single. But not the song. Oda Mari ( talk) 09:29, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
