Birthday Verfication of Candi Milo

In the vein of famed singer Mariah Carey, who is at a dispute whether she was born 1969 or 70 from numerous talk page threads voice actress Candy Milo (the same one who provided Snap Cheese and Flea's voices) from a quick Google search gives her a birthday of January 9, 1961 (58 years) from IMDb which is (usually) against reliable sourcing rules or January 21, 1966 (53 years) from BTVA. (Behind the Voice Actors)

However the latter date has less search results than the 1961 birthday which has greater demand. Being born on that day makes her acting career beginning from 1979 13 years old or in 1961 18 years old.

Had done this on the talk page unfortunately no replies came so this is why I'm re-asking the question here. Don't worry I will contribute at irregular intervals now and then.

Rufus Wainwright live session

I'd very much like to listen to a live set broadcast (for free, no piracy here) on the website of CBC2 circa 2002. It was eight or twelve songs that were much better than the album versions. I'm sure that the particular page no longer exists, and if it does is no longer compatible with modern browsers. (It used some weird Flash stuff.) Are the CBC2 live performance archives still available to us? Temerarius (talk) 04:07, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This kind of question is more likely to be answered by hardcore fans on a fan forum. There's one on his website [1]. --Viennese Waltz 11:17, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Poor Scrooge McDuck from another universe

If I'm not mistaken, there's a Disney comic book story where Scrooge McDuck meets another version of himself, a Scrooge McDuck without money from another universe. Is there any information about that story?I tried to search about that story on INDUCKS but didn't find yet. Thanks in advance. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 11:39, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Could it be Zio Paperone e la proposta dell'alter-ego (August 22, 1995) by Rudy Salvagnini and Giorgio Cavazzano? Scrooge is bored with his life, and agrees to exchange places with an extradimensional counterpart of himself. He finds out too late that he switched places with a Scrooge who is unhappily married and nearly bankrupt. He has to fix the problems with this reality before being able to return to his own.

Is his counterpart also a Scot? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots01:28, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

50/50

I am looking for a song. I believe the artists name was Mendoza, and the song was called 50/50. I have searched online but have not been able to find this anywhere. It was ubiquitous in the late 90’s in South Africa. The genre was Kwaito. Preferably I would like a Youtube link. Thanks. Anton 81.131.40.58 (talk) 12:43, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
