I have a friend whose greatest hero is Errol Flynn. Although his first film was Captain Blood, my friend says there was a movie before that where Errol was just a dead body...know the name of that film? Thank you, Connie stlgal99@charter.net
For the article on the Romanian Gypsy musical ensemble Taraful Haiducilor: there is apparently a book (in Romanian) Hopa, tropa, Europa (Hop and trot around Europe) by Speranţa Rădulescu, about the group's first European tour. I don't imagine I'm going to track that down from Seattle. If anyone has a copy of the book and would like to contribute relevant material to the article, (or if anyone knows where I might get a copy) that would be greatly appreciated. -- Jmabel 20:29, 1 Jan 2004 (UTC)
I think this book is hardly easy to find even here, in Bucharest. I shall try though, but it is very unlikely that I'll see it in the widely known bookstores. Masi27185 12:37, 4 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Hello, In a Danish recipe for "Breakfast Horn Bread" the amount of flour required is "250 g". To what does the "g" refer? It cannot be grams because this would equal only a half cup of flour or so, whereas most bread recipes call for 5 or 6 cups of flour. Thanks for your help. Steve

Can someone verify the relationship between Naptha and greek fire? I've always been told they're synonomous, but I'd like someone to confirm that. Also, I cannot find the chemical make-up of Naptha anywhere. - Raul654 10:40, 7 Jan 2004 (UTC)
My family watched the movie, The Verdict, on TNT a few years ago and really enjoyed the version that your station aired. I've checked listings from time to time trying to see if it was being aired again but haven't seen any mention of it. I know that movies are frequently aired and would like to know if this movie will be aired any time in the near future.

Quilling is the correct term. You can purchase quilling materials at many craft stores. You need a quilling needle and paper and glue. 65.28.110.120 11:44, 24 December 2005 (UTC) Beth Donovan, bhdonovan@gmail.com

Hello. Recently I wanted to publish some important speeches of a Greek prime minister (given in America in 1950's) in WikiSource and some parts of them in a relevant Wikipedia article too in order to show the influence of the Greek language on the English language. I sent an email to the webmaster of the site I found the speeches asking for copyright information etc. He replied to me by saying that he has no idea about the copyright of the speeches, but they are very common and widespread on the Internet and published on numerous websites so his personal opinion is that there is not any "hard" (meaning enforceable) copyright covering these speeches. This adds to my suspicion that those speeches (from 1950's) are in the public domain since I have also seen them published in printed magazines etc. Do you think I can proceed and add them in Wikisource and Wikipedia, or need to do something else in order to be sure about their copyright status? Also, since the speeches were given in USA, the copyright (if they have any) is based on American law or the Greek law? Thank you. .'. Optim 13:50, 12 Jan 2004 (UTC) .'.

I am involved in a foolish argument/discussion with my neighbour. She claims that, under certain conditions, one can walk from Cornwall to Mont St. Michel on a sandbar. Of course this is balderdash, however, I would like some hard data to lay my case to rest. Can someone direct me to a website where I can print out a depth chart of the Channel? Thank you.
