Has Mr. Burns ever given a full speech in a Simpson's episode? If so, which one? -- kainaw ™ 00:14, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
My little brother and I just joined neopets and we were wondering; is there any way to get your neohome to a mode in which your neopet can move around in it? Because at the moment, all we seem to be able to do is edit the furniture and other items. Library Seraph ( talk) 00:40, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
Weird, I though that that would be a very basic function. Thank you for your answer and not just telling me to go to the neoboards. Library Seraph ( talk) 00:14, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
is there a website where I can view the uniforms of each nation that participated in the 2008 Summer Olympics and 2010 Winter Olympics, like Great Britain and India and Pakistan for athletics section? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.64.52.220 ( talk) 01:52, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
Why was there no mirror-universe episode in Star Trek the Next Generation? There was one in all the other series (except voyager which had an "evil voyager" episode from the doctors memories). Was there a conscious decision made by the producers that they didn't want to do a mirror-universe episode? —Preceding unsigned comment added by SpinningSwing ( talk • contribs) 09:16, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
Does anyone know of any CDs or "proper" (non-YouTube) audio/video releases of this song – needn't be this particular singer, just in general. Thanks! ╟─ Treasury Tag► Woolsack─╢ 13:11, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
When did most homes start to have video recorders? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shellbie ( talk • contribs) 14:06, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
The article on the 1969 Chicago Cubs season states that the reason the team went into the N.L. East was to be with their rivals, the Cardinals, and that the Mets had wanted the Cardinals in the East with them since they were reigning league power. However, I've read a couple posts on baseball-fever.com where it corroborates something I'd heard elsewhere - that the Cubs led this parade of them and the Cardinals into the East, and Atlanta and Cincinnati in the West. And, that it was becasue they didn't want 27 games on the West Coast, where it could cut into TV revenue and hurt the newspapers. Also, that the N.L. owners may hve wanted to punish the Braves' owner for moving his team.
Of course, both the Cubs' desires and the Mets' could be right, but I wanted to know if anyone could find a source for what I'd heard before it was added, as right now it's just original research. I wouldn't delete the other, but I would think that - if sourced - what I'd read would deserve to be added. Or, have I heard wrong about this? Somebody or his brother ( talk) 15:16, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
Further up the page is some discussion on star trek episodes and this reminded me of an episode I saw when I was younger, and remember it scaring the crap out of me. I think it was TNG, and it involved the ship traveling through a portion of space where people would stop contacting with the floor and walls or something, I remember it being described as bubbles. The image that bothered me so much was a person partially embedded in the floor, as if the floor had stopped existing and she had fallen through it, and it reappearing as she passed through, severing her or something. Anyone know what episode this was? Gunrun ( talk) 15:18, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
Holy crap THANK YOU! I'm not OP but I've also been trying to find what episode this was for ages. Somehow I must have skipped it when watching all the TNG episode. OMG this is awesome I'm going to watch TNG episode for the first time ever I'm so excited! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fire2010 ( talk • contribs) 20:02, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
I'm looking into the origins of a song: Ain't No Grave (also known as There Ain't No Grave Gonna Hold My Body Down, Ain't No Grave Hold My Body Down, etc). From a Washington Post mention, I wonder if it might might have originated as a Church of God in Christ song, but I don't have resources to confirm that.
On Wikipedia and AllMusic, I've found the song mentioned both as traditional/public domain and with a composer. I don't see any usable references in any case.
Listed as Traditional:
Listed as composed by Claude Ely:
The Washington Post mentioned the song in the February 18, 2004 article "Gospel Music's New Apostle; With 'Goodbye, Babylon,' Lance Ledbetter Has Resurrected a Long-Ignored Era of Sacred Song", ( preview only)(via citation in Claude Ely). I don't have an authorized copy, but it appears to say: "Even the wildest rockabilly rarely reached the unhinged delirium of "There Ain't No Grave Gonna Hold My Body Down," Ely's take on a favorite song of the Church of God in Christ. A Holiness pastor from Kentucky, Ely was a faith healer and a terrific guitarist, judging from the ferocious rockabilly rhythms on "Grave," a country hit in 1953." A recording (date unknown) of a Claude Ely version can be previewed at Amazon.
I found 3 relevant song listings on AllMusic; these have various credits, including public domain, traditional, and particular composers:
However, 1963 is the oldest reference, so AllMusic doesn't even list the 1953 version by Claude Ely. They do have a list of songs composed by Claude Ely
Any help on the origins would be great. Here are some ideas of things that would help:

Could someone with experience reading both Marvel and DC comics explain what differences (if any) there are between the two "universes"? I'm an avid DC comics fan, but I've never read anything from Marvel, so my Marvel knowledge is pretty well limited to the recent Marvel films, rants by Marvel fans about what's wrong with said films, and a few pieces of other information I've picked up here and there. I know the DCU doesn't have mutants, unlike the Marvel universe (is there a name for it, by the way? The Marvel-verse or something?), but that's about it. Does Marvel have a multiverse like DC? Are certain kinds of powers or storylines more common in one than the other? How similar are the superheroes themselves, or the superhero teams? How often does Marvel have big crossover events (like Infinite Crisis, Blackest Night, etc.)? Is there a Marvel version of Elseworlds? Anything else you've noticed or have to offer (or even just general information on Marvel, even if you don't know much about DC) would be great--I'm happy to take any and all information on this. I might start reading Marvel comics at some point and I've got no particular problem with either company, so there's no need to try to tell me that one is better (or worse) than the other, by the way. Just general information about the differences (or similarities) would be great. Thanks! 24.247.163.175 ( talk) 20:25, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
What is the song used on the trailers for Sons of Anarchy on Channel 5 in the UK please? DuncanHill ( talk) 21:33, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
I know this question has been asked like a million times already, but I've looked all over the internet. I've read a bunch of articles on websites and I just don't know which one is right for me. I'm about to move into my new house in like two months and finally get high speed internet and xbox live and I need to know how to connect to xbox live. I'm gonna get at&t fast access DSL 1.5 Mbps cause that is basically the only company that can reach my area and that is the fastest speed that they have that can reach my area. My bedroom will be on one side of the house and the desktop computer will be on the other side of the house and I can finally get xbox live, but I need someone to tell me step-by-step how do I hook up with xbox live. I've read a bunch of stuff online about ethernet cables, routers, modems, adapters and a lot of other stuff so can someone please tell me how to do it. I also want to be online and on xbox live at the same time. I thought about running a really long ethernet cable from the computer to a router and then to my xbox 360, would that work or should I try something else? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.3.15.130 ( talk) 22:48, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
That idea you had, the one where I run an ethernet cable from the computer to the router and then to my xbox 360 sounds pretty good. Are you sure all I need is just that and where would you suggest I put the router, close to the computer or to my xbox 360 cause I heard it makes a difference? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.3.15.130 ( talk) 01:34, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
It shouldn't make much of a difference the distance between everything, especially over cable. However this way you will need to keep your PC turned on while you run your Xbox. Gunrun ( talk) 14:32, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
Why does the router have to be close to a phone jack
Okay, I think I have all I need, thanks to all who helped —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.3.15.1 ( talk) 23:41, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
In 1990 I was in Ischl, Austria and I saw a tv sitcom that featured a nightclub owner and his transexual mate who was the torchsong entertainer for the club. I am interested in knowing more about the show and the actors. This may have been from Spain and dubbed into German for the network. Budrowe ( talk) 23:21, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
