Where could I find a recording of this Antonín Dvořák piece? I would prefer it to be either free online or a CD or video (VCR, unless I'm mixing it up with something else, is also fine). Vltava 68 ( talk contribs) 07:44, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
You can find it
here on YouYube, I would then use [vixy.net] to convert it to mp3. If vixy is busy, download the free conversion software and then use that to convert the youtube video to an mp3.
I don't know about a CD though...I guess you could burn the mp3 to one. Hope that helps. W.i.k.i.p.e.d.i.a - Reference desk guy ( talk) 02:48, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

I usually Photoshop out watermarks - it doesn't take long, persistance is the key. Thats why I love silhouettes, so simple! W.i.k.i.p.e.d.i.a - Reference desk guy ( talk) 02:42, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello. I am a playwright in the United States and would like to use the music of Freddie Mercury in a story that chronicles his life. Who can I contact to ask/acquire permission to use his music? I know there will be a royalty fee negotiation but I'm not sure if I should contact the record labels in the United States or in the UK. Any light that can be shed on this situation is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you in advance. Mercuryrisingnyc ( talk) 15:07, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

When I was a kid in elementary school, I read a story about a boy and his robot. I don't remember too much of the details but I do remember that the robot used a tape recorder to talk. The tape recorder contained spoken words and the robot would rewind and fast forward back and forth to form speech. I think the boy and the robot were very close, as if they were friends. As time went on and he got older, he gradually got rid of his toys and eventually locked the robot in the basement to be forgotten. I don't recall if the robot had emotions but the fact that the robot was alone and abandoned was played up at least in the narrative. In any case, the story ends with the phrase "Some day..." or "One day..." with the implication that some day/one day the robot (or perhaps robots in general) would rise up and perform some sort of drastic action (revolution?). It could be an Isaac Asimov story, I don't know. That's all I can pretty much remember. Does anyone know the name of this story? 67.184.14.87 ( talk) 18:14, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi! Anybody knows new song with lyrics Go to the Floor. Sung by man, dance style i think. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.77.182.61 ( talk) 18:23, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
I don't know about that, but there is a song by Missy Elliott called Go to the Floor. W.i.k.i.p.e.d.i.a - Reference desk guy ( talk) 02:25, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
This actually came out of a joke I made with a kid dressed as Spiderman who was trick-or-treating, about what would happen if Spiderman's mom had this fear of spiders. (I've since learned his parents had died.)
Has any bad guy ever tried to spray Peter Parker with something that affected his nervous system such that it gave him a fear of spiders - would this render Spiderman ineffective? Or, since he would have the knowledge of when he was about to use his spider-like powers, would it be useless, since as far as I understand, a phobia is usually based on unrealistic anticipation of what could happen, and Parker would at all times be in control of his spider-like abilities.
I suppose it would leave him still able to - though he might struggle the first time or two - but it also seems that, with the averge comic book reader not as informed, this might make a clever idea for the writers of such. Same with Batman and fear of bats. (I remember one Superfriends cartoon where some villain is stopped after spraying a mist that made everyone afraid of everything, but they don't seem to have ever tackled the Batman/fear of bats thing specifically.) 209.244.187.155 ( talk) 18:23, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
I don't think this is trying to start a debate, nor do I think it is a clumsy way of talking, I tend to write in an almost self-monologue when on Wikipedia's reference desk - I don't think that’s bad. Anyway, to the question at hand, I have never read or watched Spiderman and so wouldn't know whether this has been tried before. I suggest writing to the makers of Spiderman and asking them, if they say this hasn't been used against Spiderman before, I suggest you recommend that they try it because it is an ingenious thought.

I see your point, I just didn't quite get what he was asking (probably because it's quite late) and kind of just commented on what I understood. So, my apologies. I think that he is just asking the question because he was just wondering. But I see that this could be a controversial topic and a debate could start.

At the risk of actually helping to answer the question, my guess would be that if this were to happen, it would have been one of the times Spidey fought against Mr. Fear. This site lists all of his appearances, with some details about what occurred in each story (and also unfortunately shows our article needs to have some excessive quoting removed). I didn't see anything exactly like what the OP asked, but didn't give it a thorough look. Matt Deres ( talk) 19:20, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
There was a situation in a recent book or movie in which a husband leaves his house to get a drink at Cheesecake Factory. I believe it was a nicer suburb area where there aren't any bars or the guy was just a yuppie. I've tried searching Google and IMDB quotes and I was hoping someone would recall it off the top of their head. I would really appreciate it. Thanks!. 67.49.72.252 ( talk) 19:28, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
