Besides Goth and Punk, is there any subculture that are related to Rock 'n' Roll?
Is there any subculture that are related to Hip-hop/Rap?
Sorry for repeating this question originally posed under Humanities whence no responses were forthcoming, but I really would appreciate a current, accurate and timeous response (insofar as is reasonable)to this troublesome and very pertinent House Selling difficulty under Scottish (Scots) Law. Please don't advise me to see a Lawyer - that is the source of my current problem and this subsequent quest for impartial advice.
Could someone please advise whether, under Scots Law, a houseowner intent on selling the house, is legally obliged to advise potential buyers of any ongoing or previous neighbour-related tensions, disputes, or other such hostilities, whether or not the potential buyer asks that specific question?
And is the seller's agent/solicitor also legally obliged to answer such a buyer's question if such disputes are known to him/her even if any such problems have not been disclosed by the seller, but have been made known by other means?
What would be the buyer's redress(es) if such problems did exist but were not disclosed to him before the sale was concluded?
Many thanks in anticipation for any useful responses. But please, no speculative or emotive responses.
I dont know if this is the place to post this question, but I was wondering if I was just crazy or if others out there would be upset like me if this happend to them.
I have this friend, and him and I were best friends. I met this girl (they were never friends before) and we started going out and we went out for 6 months on and off. At the end she cheated on me and now my ex girlfriend and the person who I thought was one of my best friends are friends and they go out sometimes (I know hes not trying to get with her because she has a new boyfriend). Do I not have the right to be mad at him? I mean if he was really my friend he wouldnt be friends with her and go out with her and be friends with her and her boyfriend. I even told him on two different occasions that I dont like him talking to her. I even yelled at him for shaking her hand one time when she stuck her hand out. Am I crazy or should I be really mad? Thanks
Hey, does anyone know if this website, MegAtomix Media ( http://www.megatomix.com) is still being used by anyone. I used to be a member there, but my account got deleted. Recently, I was interested in joining again, but as far as I could tell, no one has used it since early 2005.
I wasn't sure if maybe you have to be a member to view the new material, or if the site had moved..or what??

I've had a look at the usage notes for the station stats and was wondering is there a sure fire way of working out which of the group stations is the main station. I realise that some are obvious such as the main station that represents Birmingham Stations is Birmingham New Street, but some are less obvious, e.g Warrington. Thanks for any help DannyM 09:24, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
What is the capital of Kazakstan? Thanks
Sometimes it can be a bit weird, like it used to be Almaty. For instance, it isn't entirely clear what the capital of Tanzania is. Evilbu 13:24, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

I remember seeing something where Man A pays Man B to kill a person (I think at a train station), and when Man A gets there, he finds out he's supposed to kill Man B. I have no idea what this could be. Any ideas?

I am looking for a school that was in Phoenix Arizona in 1982-1985, named, Arizona Career College. It was a postsecondary private school. Specifically, I am looking for witih whom it was accredited through.
I was looking for the same thing-- I work at a University and have a student who went there. Google was no help-- I looked at every reference without finding accreditation information. I decided to call the bigger national accrediting bodies like ACCSCT and ACICS. No records were found with ACCSCT. I called ACICS (Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools), and back when they used to be called AICS, they accredited Arizona Career College. The person I spoke with at ACICS said that Arizona Career College is found in their 1987 book of accredited institutions, and their initial accreditation date was 1977. He was not sure when they ceased being accredited, but the school closed on 6/30/1988, so they may have been accredited up until their closing date. They definitely were accredited by ACICS from 1977 through 1987. ACICS can be reached at (866) 510-0746. We think that the records/transcripts are kept with the Arizona State Board for Private Postsecondary Education. Here is that information: Arizona State Board for Private Postsecondary Education 1400 W. Washington, Room 260 Phoenix, Arizona 85007 Phone 602-542-5709
When was the doorknob invented? Does anyone know for certain? Bhumiya ( said/ done) 15:17, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
OK, next historical origins question: what was the origin of the stupid American middle school custom of yelling "doorknob" when flatulence is detected? Is it still done, or now lost in the mists of primeval time? alteripse 17:40, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
Can anyone name similar songs? Not by theme or lyrics, but by sound. It can be instrumental as well, I don't mind.
This song is interesting to me because of the slow, rhythmic pace, and the weird "drowsy" melody. I really liked it. ☢ Ҡi∊ff⌇ ↯ 16:43, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
I know this question has a logical answer, but no one seems to be able to find any evidence or examples. The question is this: Does an amputee (let's say, for ease of argument, a double-leg amputee) get drunk faster after the amputation than he/she did with limbs intact? Logically, your blood-alcohol level will increase faster if you have less blood; a person with no legs has less blood than a person with two legs. But has anyone ever documented this before? Are there any amputees out there who have experienced this? I'm basically looking for a citation. TheSPY 17:23, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
I heard a song that was the same, if not very similar to the keane song bedshaped, but this was in classical style, and I thought in a foreign language, there was less emphasis on the instrumentation, and more on the vocals (there were atleast parts, if not the whole song, without instruments). I was wondering could anyone tell me what this is?
In many sports, even when the play of the game is paused, the clock still runs. Why is that? Reywas92 22:09, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
In soccer specifically, they calculate the amount of time that was wasted whent he play was stopped and add it onto the game at the end. That's why it says "Time Added". -- Jamesino 23:11, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
PS Soccer players would do the same if they were allowed to I,m sure (and they do spin out injuries and so on so everyone can take a breather). Jameswilson 00:43, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
When the NASL was new to america, and a huge league had sprawled over a country that had no idea how to play the sport, among other comical errors, one referee thought that you have to stop the clock every time the ball went out of play or gameplay stopped, this caused his first matches to last over two hours, until he was informed of the rules. Philc T E C I 11:51, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
To counter an unsigned comment above, as an American, I think it's crazy that soccer just lets the clock run and then has the ref add stoppage time at the end rather than simply stop the clock when the ball is not in play. Shouldn't everyone know exactly how much time is left? And doesn't giving the ref the power to end the game at his discretion lead to abuses of authority, or at least accusations of such? -- Mwalcoff 04:58, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Its quite a new thing to put a board up saying how much injury-time there will be. Before the referee gave no clue. It added to the suspense in my view. You didnt know if this was the last attack or whether there were still a couple of minutes to go. And yes, the downside was the potential for abuse. Jameswilson 23:01, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi, so there's a video game that has songs, and people have made midis of the songs. Now the midis are based on the songs, but they are not the exact songs in the game. I was wanting to use one of these. So I am wondering, are the midis that immitate a copyrighted song also copyrighted. I emailed the site owner a ton of times and they won't even answer. But people on wikipedia know a lot about copyright, so I'm sure someone does. Are these midis legal to freely distribute and are they free enough to be used on something commercial?

Supposing tonight a freak virus breaks loose and kills everyone in the country except you. No buildings or anything have been destroyed,so the water,power and things are still working at the moment,just everyone else is dead.How long would you be able to survive for and what would be the most important...or exciting things to do first?
Sleep tight... 88.106.195.245 22:28, 9 July 2006 (UTC)Lemon
Depends on what country you live in and what exactly the cause is. If the virus can be dealt with, you might get lucky and be picked up by some rescue crew from another country. For instance if you live in Denmark, maybe some German scientists or army crew would go into the country.
The movie 28 Days Later describes what you say except for one little detail....
However, my fellow Wikipedians, I would like to grab this unique opportunity to ask for a film : there is a film in which a black man in the USA, probably New York, finds the complete city deserted for no obvious reason. Later he meets one other person : a white woman. The plot is interesting as one could say their relationship would never have begun under normal circumstances. The movie is in black and white. Please tell me the title. Evilbu 22:38, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
So nobody has an idea about that black and white film dealing with this? Evilbu 12:45, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Canley, thanks, that is quite certainly what I was looking for. Did you find it a good movie? I saw it once, but didn't get to see the end, and have regretted doing so ever since. For giving me the title, you have my undying gratitude.
Last person alive in the country? Drive to another country after collecting a truck load of money.
Last person alive in the world? Might want to go around and collect enough solar panels to satisfy your electric needs, along with a lifetime supply of new (no acid inside) storage batteries and acid to fill them, and a dc to ac inverter. Perhaps help yourself to a survivalist's lair with a well, fireplaces, and a woodburning stove. A well or rain-fed cistern could supply water. An outhouse can be easily built to handle the world's small sewage disposal needs. A garden and fruit trees and a few animals (think dairy goats, not cows) and chickens could supply food. Gasoline and diesel will gum up and it is impractical to produce your own, so collect a lifetime of supplies while vehicles are driveable and roads haven't crumbled and been overgrown by trees. Raid hardware stores, building stores, farm supply stores, museums (your very own art collection can include anything.) Electronics stores (what is the shelf life of a computer? I have seen 20 year old used computers still work.) Fossil and nuclear power plants would trip offline in a few days at most. Small hydroelectric plants could be easily restarted generating, but powerlines will trip offline when storms pass through and stay off. Perhaps find a country place with a creek and a micro-hydro plant which could supply electricity for an extended period, not too far from a city where things could be obtained. A woodburning stove can fry or bake any food. I suppose that alternatively a city place could be equipped qith enough solar panels to be liveable for a few years. Canned food will be inedible in a very few years. Flour, rice, cornmeal, butter, shortning, etc will decay in a very few years unless kept in a deep freeze, as will manufactured food. Frozen food would last years in a deepfreeze. Sugar will last many years unless bugs or animals get to it. Expect lots of rats and mice unless predators increase in number. No need to seek out companion animals; dogs and cats would quickly find YOU. Batteries (of the alkaline variety) have a shelflife of several years, but batteries can be made from 19th century recipes if a supply of copper, zinc, acid, etc is obtained before travel becomes next to impossible. If you are healthy and do not require blood pressure medicine, insulin, etc you might live until the first serious illness or injury occurs. A camping supply store could provide a lifetime supply of water-purifying equipment. A load of books, cds, dvds and computer games might ward off boredom(see electric supply, above). Is it possible to completely download Wikipedia? Is it possible to download a meaningful amount of the worldwide web content? What would be the failure mode and speed of failure of the web in this apocalypse scenario? Lack of human contact and the realization that (human) history is OVER, making any accomplishments pointless would drive most people mad after a while. A radio sos beacon directed to space could offer some small hope of rescue. Religion might offer some comfort. Edison 21:36, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
