top40[edit]

Read Top 40, our article on the subject, and follow the links in that article to additional articles as well. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 05:22, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Every UK radio station has a licence to play a particular type of music for a particular audience and can't go outside that. I'd suggest that if your local radio station doesn't play this type of music it's because of the conditions of its licence. If that upsets you, you could always retune your radio! --TammyMoet (talk) 09:49, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Which Star 101.9? Wikipedia has two articles: KUCD Star 101.9FM in Pearl City, Hawaii; and KNOE-FM Star 101.9FM in Monroe, Louisiana; and there may be more elsewhere in the world. Also, it might help if you use 101.9 instead of 1O1.9 (note the zero instead of the uppercase "o"). Astronaut (talk) 14:57, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm guessing that, with a username like Bubbafrogs, the OP was referring to the station in Louisiana. I could be wrong, though. Deor (talk) 19:32, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fluffy[edit]

Oh, I see. Well then, whatever happened to Fluffy. At the scenes leading up to the wedding, Fluffy seems to be developing well as a character. There is a scene where chaos unfolds when Tiger is introduced, and then poof she is gone. I never saw as much as a reference to the cat after that. Is there anyone that knows what happened? Not sure if some tragedy struck off set and she had to be written out of the script or what. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.4.236.226 (talk) 12:55, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Which Fluffy? Which Tiger? Some context to your question would be useful. Astronaut (talk) 14:43, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can't believe I know that he is talking about the first episode of The Brady Bunch. According to our article, "The dog that played Tiger was hit by a car and killed early in the first season. When a replacement dog proved problematic, the producers decided the dog would only appear when essential to the plot. Tiger appeared in about half the episodes in the first season and about half a dozen episodes in the second season. In yet another parallel to the Partridge Family, whose dog Simone disappeared during their second season, Tiger vanished without an explanation and was not shown again after "The Impractical Joker" which aired in 1971." No mention of Fluffy though. Adam Bishop (talk) 14:46, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We need Refdesk achievement points, because you just earned one. Tempshill (talk) 21:09, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, here we go: List of The Brady Bunch characters#The Bradys' pets says the cat "Fluffy" only appeared in the pilot episode and was never seen again, and Adam describes above what happened to the dog "Tiger". Astronaut (talk) 15:03, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cleat[edit]

I'm looking for a brand that sells just one cleat. Or the brand that sells the fewest number. If there is a tie, provide all the brands. Thanks.174.3.103.39 (talk) 19:13, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you ever get the feeling that someone invented a robot that asks random questions just to keep us occupied? Recury (talk) 19:36, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

At least we seem to be past the constant Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle questions. --Zerozal (talk) 20:42, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There was a person who kept coming back asking rather random questions just to give us something to do. It's been a long time (years) since they last posted. If I remember correctly, they had Asperger's or something. Dismas|^(talk) 21:55, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And thats how I learned everything I ever wanted to know about Tim Cahill. Nanonic (talk) 23:14, 25 June 2009 (UTC) [reply]

This guy sounds like me... Vimescarrot (talk) 18:06, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm actually wanting to buy cleats (for Ultimate frisbee). There's just too many right now to choose from.174.3.103.39 (talk) 21:23, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So are you looking for the brand of shoe that has the fewest cleats on the sole (assuming at least one) or are you looking for a brand that offers you the least choice? DJ Clayworth (talk) 21:52, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

According to the cleat article, "cleat" refers to the entire piece of footwear. Are you perhaps looking for the actual individual knobs on the bottom of a cleat because you want to screw them into the bottom of an existing shoe? Your question sounds like you may be. Tempshill (talk) 21:07, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm not looking for the knobs. Yes, I'm trying to streamline my search, so I want to start my search with the brand that offers the least choice. This way, I can compare other brands, and examine why a particular brand offers only one kind, be it that their technology is superior, or inferior, or maybe they have a persuasive concept that other shoes just have a bunch of frills and gimmicks.174.3.103.39 (talk) 10:45, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jack Penate's fingers - how many?[edit]

I was idly reading through Jack_Peñate's wiki page, and there is a bit of trivia that says "Jack Penate has two index fingers on his left hand. Enabling him to play complex chords that are otherwise unavailable to conventionally fingered guitarists." I'm confused - I thought the index finger was defined as between the thumb and the middle finger, so how can you have two? Does this mean he has six fingers? Anyway, I did a quick google and could find nothing to support this at all. The only real mention of his fingers is on some rubbish Youtube videos. Anyone else have any information? Snorgle (talk) 20:26, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know nothing about this specific person, but there certainly are people born with extra fingers (see polydactyly), and in such a case the usual designation of which finger is which may be somewhat arbitrary. A fully functional extra finger resembling an extra index finger would be a rare form of the condition. --Anonymous, 23:50 UTC, June 25, 2009.

My guess is that this edit is vandalism. If the guitarist had six fingers, this fact would likely be more prominently featured on his many web sites. -- KathrynLybarger (talk) 02:16, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - I'll put a note on the discussion page and remove the information.Snorgle (talk) 13:49, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
