I was searching for a song I down loaded some time ago, and found it in Google that a version of the song "Summertime" was written by Charlie Parker. But when I looked in at the list of songs by him it was not listed, Why is that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.169.193.198 ( talk) 02:47, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
The Clemson-Notre Dame college football game is on the TV right now. Some minutes ago, there was a disputed call, and while the replay officials were deciding what to do, the cameras turned to the ESPN play-by-play announcers: their booth was immediately above the fans (the base of the booth was a wall behind a row of fans, whose heads were just below the booth's floor), and the replay officials were adjacent to the TV guys, so they too were literally just a few feet away. Is this a normal location for this booth? I'd expect the replay officials to be separated from the crowd by much more than about ten feet, for example, to protect them from tomato-throwers. Instant replay in American and Canadian football says that plays in NCAA games are reviewed from a "secure booth in the press box"; the scene didn't appear secure and didn't appear to be in a special press box, but that section isn't cited and perhaps I misunderstand the typical location of a press box.

There's a rumor that Little Mix is going have a hiatus on 2017 to find their new fifth member? Chandelia16 ( talk) 05:05, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
Sporting question: does anyone know the reason why the Wales national rugby union team wore their "away" black kit in their recent match against Fiji (playing in white with black shorts)? Wales' normal kit is red with white shorts, so there would have been no confusion. I was hoping some explanation would appear in the article or one of the match reports, but I've not found anything.

I'm trying to recall a book I read many years ago, probably in the mid-1980s, though obviously it could have been written much earlier. There's a girl who has a pet coati and she and a boy are at some kind of archaeological dig (in Mexico maybe?) and they have to scare off some thieves who have come to steal the artifacts. There's some kid-level trickery involved, like playing recordings on a loop and shining flashlights against cardboard cut-outs to create adult-sized silhouettes, etc. I thought that it was perhaps related to E. L. Konigsburg's book, From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler because I thought they also ended up staying at a museum, but I could be conflating two unrelated novels. Despite coatis not being particularly common elements to kid's books, searching has turned up nothing promising. 99.235.223.170 ( talk) 16:27, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
Hi there,
I'm looking for a song.
I can't remember the lyrics, well.
What I do remember, is that there was a female singer, singing in very high frequency, something like "It's real... it's real love". The lyrics that I wrote might be all wrong, so focus on the description of the singer.
This is an old song, which was very popular then. I believe it was in English.
Thanks! — Preceding
