October 4[edit]

Rapper Bow Wow[edit]

Bow Wow is 25 years old, it shows him to be 24 on his wiki page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.183.127.176 (talk) 05:02, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

His age has been automatically calculated from the birth-date of March 9, 1987 which comes from the article's references. Can you find a a reliable source that has a different date?--Shirt58 (talk) 07:37, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reminds me of the Jimmy Carter Weiner parody. Assume it would be updated were the commercials still running. μηδείς (talk) 05:15, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Old sci-fi film - alien on Earth pursued by two others[edit]

Resolved

Might be a long shot, but...I remember a film, probably black and white, about a human-looking alien on Earth being pursued by two other aliens, who may have been travelling by motorbike. I seem to remember they had some sort of glowing 'homing' device that they used to track him. Not an altogether unique plot but any ideas what it might be? Thanks.--Michig (talk) 20:20, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No motorbike that I can recall, but two dudes chase Michael Rennie on foot in Cyborg 2087. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:49, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the suggestion. Watching it now on Youtube - might be it but not quite what I remember.--Michig (talk) 21:06, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
30 minutes in and I think this must be it. Thanks. --Michig (talk) 21:26, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hah! A misspent youth hasn't gone totally to waste. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:21, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
