Was the heartbeat effect done in any episodes of the Air Master anime?
The heartbeat effect is a dramatic effect, when, in an intense situation, you can hear a character's heartbeat. And I'm just wondering, was the heartbeat effect done in any episode of the Air Master anime? If so, can you tell me what episodes? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sirdrink13309622 (talk • contribs) 06:35, 11 April 2007 (UTC).

Could you be thinking of Long John Baldry? He was on tv in Canada a lot toward the end of his career and I believe died of heart problems. He was a friend and mentor to Elton John.

Knight of Prosperity song from episode Save Esperanza
Helllo, My name is Sharon and I have tried to research this question including writing the network. On episode Operation Save Esperanze a song is playing in the background when Esperanza is leaving the hotel room. The lyrics begin..... Save me, somebody save me, call the caped crusader, green hornet, Batman etc. I am trying to find out if that is a real song and who is the srtist. I have tried all lyric search engines that are available. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.212.190.235 (talk) 13:47, 11 April 2007 (UTC).
 * The song is Save Me, originally recorded by Aretha Franklin. Googling "save me" "green hornet" lyrics finds plenty of hits. &mdash; Lomn 15:47, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Simpsons episode
There's an episode of The Simpsons where Ned Flanders is walking around his house singing, and he goes from one window to another window to another window. I think he's saying colors, but I'm not sure. What's the episode? —Zachary talk 16:15, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Sounds like We're on the Road to D'ohwhere, according to the article, he is singing the chorus from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Cyraan 16:25, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

What about the episode where Bart takes a field trip to the police station and puts various megaphones one behind another and a fly flies in front of it causing a massive amount of noise? Does anyone know the name or episode #?? 200.12.231.42 22:26, 11 April 2007 (UTC)  Ag for MemTech

Broadcast call letters.
Read may question carefully, I have asked it many times and never gotten a good answer. In the US, radio and TV stations are assigned call letters (other countries as well). And for the most part, stations west of the Mississippi get a "K," while those east get a "W." I get that and I know the historic reasons why and the exceptions. I also know it comes from ship to shore originally and is also related to military and other government applications like airport codes (the reason no airport codes can start with a K, W, or even N (military) as in Newark being EWR. My question is this. While Canada got assigned letters in the "C" series, I believe CH through CK, and Mexico got X, I can get why those two letters would be assigned to those countries. C is the first letter in Canada and X is predominant in MeXico. But why did the US get K and W? And not say, U and S, or E and W for East and West, or something other than K and W? --71.106.102.208 19:17, 11 April 2007 (UTC)Mediaguy.


 * According to our article Call sign - The US was represented by the military at the 1927 conference which is why it received "A" (for Army) and "N" (for Navy). The "W" and "K" for civilian stations followed as the simple addition of a dash to the Morse code letters "A" and "N". The first extrenal link in that article seems to have much more detailed information.   --LarryMac 19:40, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
