yes. sorry i dont know which section of the ref desk it should go to.
 * Going on their form this season, "Entertainment" doesn't really seem appropriate. However... the article lists the current squad at Leeds United. unfortunately, that just divides it into defenders, midfields, etc, so the actual centre back would be guesswork going from that. Clicking on the individual articles suggests that it might be their vice-captain, Shaun Derry, who is listed in his article as a "defensive midfielder". Grutness...wha?  11:26, 17 March 2007 (UTC) (old enough to remember when Jack Charlton was back there).


 * Today it would have been Heath and Michalik. If you look on match reports, such as today's, CBs are almost always the 3rd and 4th listed (usually, goalkeepers are first, left and right backs are 2nd and 6th). Defensive midfielders are not centre-backs, although some occasionally play there. I think seeing Leeds struggling in Div 2 may qualify as entertainment for a few people.

Piano arrangement
I'm looking for the piano arrangement of Cinema Paradiso by Fong Hom Lang

The Blue Lagoon
Basil Poledouris (God rest his soul) composed the soundtrack to The Blue Lagoon (1980). I've already taught myself the entire score on piano, but is there any way to buy the actual full orchestral score? 71.225.143.223 19:06, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

(or at least an arrangement of it?) thanks

Military Dilbert
Scott Adams consistently claims that Dilbert's name was inspired by a clutzy character from a military comic strip, who demonstrated the wrong ways of doing things by doing them and suffering the consequences. Does anyone know where I could find them? Black Carrot 22:15, 17 March 2007 (UTC)


 * The comic strips, that is. Black Carrot 22:21, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * "Since WWII, a comic called 'Dilbert' had been used by military pilots in the context of telling them what not to do. A 'Dilbert' was synonymous with a pilot who was being an idiot." (Source: ) − Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 22:52, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Awesome. You can point me to a website that reproduces, in not quite its entirety, the article that reminded me about this in the first place. How does that in any way advance my goal of actually finding the original Dilbert strips? Black Carrot 00:23, 18 March 2007 (UTC)


 * The University of San Diego has some illustrations here. ---Sluzzelin talk  00:52, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
