Football Gaffes Galore
On the BBC Three programme 'Football Gaffes Galore', what song do they use when they're showing the 'Top 5 painful pratfalls' segment? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.78.196 (talk) 12:52, 25 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Do you have a sound sample? -- Jayron  32  16:19, 25 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, I can't find one on the internet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.69.72.29 (talk) 12:50, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Use Shazam. Dial 2580 from your mobile phone and hold the phone up to the TV. With any luck you'll get a text back giving you the title of the song. --Richardrj talkemail 13:16, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Inglourious Basterds
How did Colonel Hans Landa know that Emmanuelle Mimieux was really Shosanna in that restaurant scene? Especially when he had the waiter give her milk? --Reticuli88 (talk) 15:03, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * He didn't. He just liked milk, apparently.  Though he did claim to be able to sniff out Jews.  Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 18:43, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree. There is no definite indication that he recognizes her.  I guess Quentin leaves it up to the audience's imagination. --Nricardo (talk) 01:25, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I doubt if he recognized her, or he wouldn't have let her continue to run the theater where Hitler was about to appear. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 18:17, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Film
Hi! Do you know the name of the film that is probablay about car racing? I just saw a little part of it and there were Morgan Freeman (think it was him) and another known comedian, one in red and one in yellow sport car, competing with each other. I think the movie should be from 80's... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Atacamadesert12 (talk • contribs) 19:09, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I can't find any film involving Freeman and racing (the closest he gets is Driving Miss Daisy). Besides, he's not noted for being a comedian, so it must be someone else. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:08, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Driving Miss Daisy as a racing movie? Now there's a Saturday Night Live sketch! DJ Clayworth (talk) 14:03, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Driving Miss Daisy Duke, yeehaw! Clarityfiend (talk) 23:00, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Correction: apparently he drives a race car in The Bucket List (2007), along with Jack Nicholson. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:40, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Beaver Cleaver
Is Beaver Cleaver still alive? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.70.99.27 (talk) 20:52, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * You mean the actor who played him? Jerry Mathers?  Yes.  Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 21:05, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Major League Soccer scoring.
I am trying to find out how teams score points and advance in the standings in the USA League MLS.

None of the articles I've looked at seem to provide this information, but maybe I'm not looking in the right place? Is this information covered in wikipedia?--Measure (talk) 21:52, 25 August 2009 (UTC)


 * It's covered, yet hard to find. The basic premise comes from the Three points for a win method being used for association football games. Teams recieve 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw and nothing for a loss - thus teams' place in the table is determined by how many points they have. Goals for and against are also recorded as goal difference is the next decider for table placement if two teams have the same points overall. Nanonic (talk) 22:03, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
