proportionally speaking, how much can a ballon expand before exploding? also, how fast does the gas made by combining vinegar and backing soda expand? Thornydevil ^Munchies? 00:29, 19 August 2011 (UTC) U put this in the wrong catagorey --FilmGuySuper8 (talk) 00:49, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

1) It depends on the balloon, it is literally to wildly variable to make any reasonable approximations. A kids party balloon will have a very different tensile strength than, say, a condom. 2) It depends on many factors, including concentration of the vinegar, how finely powdered the bicarbonate is, etc. Again, can't be approximated without any more specific data. --Jayron32 01:28, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I thought the OP was maybe referring to a piece that the piano player would have performed while the silent film was showing.

Herr Mendelssohn to the rescue: Songs Without Words. See also Vocalise. -- Jack of Oz ^{[your turn]} 23:42, 20 August 2011 (UTC) [reply]

But seriously, "song" doesn't mean "music with words" or "music with human voice". It's just the plain-speaking name for all musical compositions in any form. Even "composition" sounds a little bit pretentious and it was the least hoity-toity synonym I could come up with. (If you say "piece" you've gone off the edge.) Take a look at Instrumental and follow the links to the famous examples. Can you find one that's not called a "song" in its article? Several have (song) as their disambiguator. 67.162.90.113 (talk) 00:28, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Song" is indeed the usual term for any piece of popular music. The vast majority of popular music is vocal, so it's of little moment if the small proportion of purely instrumental music also comes under the "song" banner. But the word was not traditionally so widely used; it was reserved for, well, songs - i.e. musical works performed by a singer (see the "song/singer" connection), usually with some accompaniment (piano, guitar, instrumental ensemble) - which are very different animals from symphonies, sonatas, string quartets, concertos, even operas (which contain arias, which can be thought of as a type of song, but they're not called that in that context). I have to say it's odd to hear a piece of popular piano music like "The Entertainer" referred to casually as a "song without words"; it seems a somewhat circuitous solution, involving first including all music in "song", but then qualifying some of it because it isn't sung, but played. This sort of raises the question of why call these instrumental works "songs" in the first place. -- Jack of Oz ^{[your turn]} 02:41, 21 August 2011 (UTC) [reply]

Downer endings in Corean films

So far I have seen two Corean films, The Host and Haeundae and both, while very good films, have had decidedly depressing endngs, or at the very least, it's been the case that you have deaths of main characters that you really like. So is it common in Corean films to have sad to bittersweet endings in films in contrast to the typical Western standard of happy endings? I realise I am basing this off only two films (a monster film and a disaster film no-less), but still, I want to know if I can expect more endings like this from future Corean films I watch. Anyone here have a good working knowledge of Corean cinema? Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie | Say Shalom! 05:47, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Having seen plenty of Korean films, I have to say no. But really every country has their own share of films with depressing endings and it's not like the Korean film industry focuses entirely on depressing the viewer :p --GroovySandwich^Yum. 06:23, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also, from what I've seen, romantic comedies are the most common genre there--GroovySandwich^Yum. 06:25, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Western film distributors have found a market for shocking, dark, and often violent East Asian horror films (Park Chan-wook, Takashi Miike, the Battle Royale films, Dumplings, etc) and therefore have tended to release similar films. As GroovySandwich mentions, western audiences only see a tiny minority of the wide range of films made in Korea. Similarly, the French or German films that reach English and American screens tend to be serious dramas or arthouse films, not the huge number of low-brow comedies both nations produce, so English-speaking people get a very distorted view of most of the world's cinema. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:58, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is that because humor probably wouldn't translate all that well? Googlemeister (talk) 13:07, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

American film studios do seem to have an absulute obsession with happy endings - even Schindler's List has one for goodness sake. Films like Bladerunner have been forced to have a stupid happy ending pasted onto the end of them. If you have been brought up on these films, it must seem rather odd to have a film where everything doesn't turn out to be all right in the end. Alansplodge (talk) 22:12, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The horror genre is the exception to the happy ending bit. Some horror films have a happy ending (well, happy in that the main character or characters don't die horribly), some do not. Googlemeister (talk) 14:47, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Megaman

Give me the name of the Mega Man games that are for adult. Or are all of them for Children?69.131.127.230 (talk) 21:55, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You may or may not be the same person asking about Zelda and other game ratings, so I'll try and respond in broad strokes, but first, may I ask what age range you consider "children" to be?

Not all games are marketed to one or the other. While some games are clearly not for kids (Grand Theft Auto, Catherine, Mass Effect), and some are clearly targeted at children (Barbie Horse Adventures: Wild Horse Rescue, Littlest Pet Shop (video game), Go, Diego, Go!: Safari Rescue), many are somewhere in between. Mario, Zelda, Mega Man, those are all sometimes somewhere in between, and occasionally (in North America anyway) are rated Teen, which is neither adult nor child. So, in response to your specific question here: All of them are for adults, and all of them are for children, of a certain age. Mingmingla (talk) 16:25, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Song name

It sounds a lot like "It's Not Unusual" by Tom Jones, though that's not from the early 90's. There was a cover version of it done by the early '90s band Belly that was on their EP titled Moon which sounds almost exactly like what you sang in your file, but honestly its a pretty obscure track, I don't believe it was ever a single of its own right, and it was only availible on the Moon EP or as the B-side of their single "Gepetto". See [1]. (I was a big Tanya Donelly fan back in HS/College and so I actually own this EP). --Jayron32 03:36, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

MLB (modern era) games completed.

Since the inception of MLB's modern era, approximately how many games (including post season) have been played through the 2011 All Star break? Many thanks, MoJoMLBFan — Preceding unsigned comment added by MoJoMLBFan (talk • contribs) 21:28, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You can work this out using Major League Baseball schedule which has the number of games played in each league for each period of time. For example, the National league had 8 teams from 1900-1961. That means that there were 4 games among those 8 teams at any given time. 1900-1903+ 1919 (5 years) had 140 games, and that gives us 4*4*140= 2240. 1904-1918 and 1920-1961 (56 years) had 154 games, and that gives 4*56*154 = 34496 games. Add those two to get 36736 pre-expansion games in the NL. The AL had the same schedule with the same number of teams, but expanded its league and schedule one year earlier thnan the NL, so the AL would have had 2240 for the 140 game years, and 33880 for its 154 game years, and 810 games (5*162) for 1961. That's a total of 36930 AL games over the same time period; or 73666 major league games from 1900-1961. From 1962-1968 there were 20 teams playing 162 games each, thats 10*162*7 = 11340. From 1969-1976 there were 24 teams playing 162 games, 12*162*18 = 34992. From 1977-1992 there were 26 teams playing 162 games, 13*162*16 = 33696. From 1993-1997 there were 28 teams playing 162 games, 14*162*5 = 11340. Since 1998 we've had 30 teams playing 162 games, 15*162*13 (till the start of this season) = 31590. Those numbers don't include a) inseason single-game playoffs (which would give some teams 163 games) or b) the strike-shortened seasons or c) rained out games that don't get made up at the end of the year because they are inconsequential (there's always a few of those every year) but that does give a rough, ball-park (pun intended) estimate of 73666 + 11340 + 34992 + 33696 + 11340 + 31590 = 196,624 regular season games played by the start of the 2011 season. Given the approximations I have already mentioned, plus the games already played this year, you can say there have been roughly 200,000 games total played (including playoffs, allstar games, etc,) since MLB's modern era started. --Jayron32 00:13, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Confirming Jayron's calculations, MLB just issued a press release [3] on August 23rd stating it would celebrate the 200,000th major league game on or around September 24th of this year. The around is due to the fact there may be some rainouts over the next month, which could affect the date of the milestone context.

Episodes of CHiPs that took place in Compton and Watts.

I grew up watching this show. However, when I later studied the subculture of Gangland L.A., the Bloods, Crips, and etc., I wanted to find which episodes of CHiPs took place in those two gang-infested suburbs of LA, given that this show took place in the entire L.A. basin.

Therefore, which episodes of CHiPs take place in any gang-infested area of L.A., and do we get to see any such gang-member interact with the main characters? --70.179.163.168 (talk) 01:43, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

SALES

In the list of best selling artists of all time Paul McCartney appears with 100 million records. Is this Including Wings? Wings is part of Paul McCartney's solo career. It was his touring and recording band in the 70's.It wasn't a band like the beatles. Paul McCartney just wanted to give credit to his recording band so he named it wings. But I think it should be included in Paul McCartney's solo sales. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joshespinocho (talk • contribs) 23:33, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As much as we would like to believe that, the band existed and was called Wings, even if he did most of the heavy lifting. That said, Denny Laine wasn't quite a nobody; he was an original Moody Blue. Therefore, not solo. Mingmingla (talk) 01:02, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And to the point, Wings was a fairly cohesive band; there was some turnover from time to time, but it wasn't like he brought in a new bunch of musicians for every album. There have been other bands (c.f. The Lemonheads, Steely Dan, Five for Fighting) which were really just names for one or two people and which were mostly a revolving door of session musicians. Paul McCartney did do solo projects before, after, and alongside of Wings to add credence to the idea that the Wings project was always intended to be a band and not just a front for McCartney's solo career. --Jayron32 02:54, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't the Jimi Hendrix Experience the same kind of thing? It was a band, and some of the members were accomplished in their own right (and had much less turnover than The Wings as I recall), but it was really just Jimi Hendrix's back-up band when you get down to it. Quinn ^{❀ BEAUTIFUL DAY} 03:20, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, really, where is the line. How do you distinguish between a "real band" and a "backing band for a singer". I mean, by your logic I can claim that AC/DC has been the backing band (successively) for Bon Scott and Brian Johnson. Sometimes the band has the singers name in it (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers); sometimes it has the name of another member of the band (The J. Geils Band); sometimes it has no one's name in it. None of that makes it not a band. The Jimi Hendrix Experience was the same three musicians for its entire lifespan, that's pretty much a cohesive band as far as I can tell. --Jayron32 03:28, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cable TV Question

You know that Guide menu on your TV Remote that when you press it, it brings up a listing that shows you what's airing right now on which channels?

I have satellite TV, but the terminology is similar there. There are two different terms for "basic cable channels of a higher tier package" and "premium subscription stations" (like HBO or Showtime). If you purchase the 200 channel basic package, and try to view the station for one of, say, the 300 channel basic package that you don't have access to, it probably says "Not Authorized". If you tried to view an HBO channel, you probably get the "Require a Premium Subscription" notice. --Jayron32 23:02, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Probably pay-per-view channels (either sport or movies, where you pay to watch an individual program) have a different message from regular subscription channels (where you pay a monthly fee to watch everything).

Stargate SG1, Atlantis Mission/ Flag Patches
