matress commercial
Isn't Aardman animations responsible for creating sheeps for some matress commercial? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.92.152.150 (talk) 01:49, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The teeth arrangement are key, if there's a signature widening of the lower jaw teeth moreso than the top then it is Aardman. 69.1.45.85 (talk) 06:03, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes. The company concerned is Serta, and the campaign animated by Aardman is called "Counting Sheep".  Ka renjc 19:49, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

I need to find this Sci Fi movie title from a long time ago
I saw a movie a long time ago, it involved an incident where this non-terrestrial material fell to earth and began absorbing whatever water was around it. the material was a clear/translucent blue rock like material, and it fell on this desert town where it had made an incredible impact. One such moment of clear remembrance was the time when one guy poured water over one large sample of the rock and it reacted by wiggling and burning the water away(since it was also very hot). I know this movie from a lot of mental images and do not have a name for it. It has been almost 20 years since I last saw this movie. 69.1.45.85 (talk) 06:02, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Possibly The Monolith Monsters, IMDb link, a classic 1957 'B' Movie? -- WORM  MЯOW  09:44, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * This is close, needs further probing in order for me to find the actual movie, the movie I know of is in full color with almost the same basis. Thanks for your help. 69.1.45.85 (talk) 16:26, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Jack Webb's 'Pat Novak For Hire' radio series; casting
In that series an actress often appeared who had a deep, sultry, melodious voice. A mystery woman, usually. In one episode she wanted Pat to retrieve some photographs of her.

I would much like to know who she was.

Thanks much.

CFL Retro
Is there a good website where we can view the retro jerseys of the current teams of Canadian Football League, especially the logos on the helmets? Also, is there good website where we can see each team's record when it comes to facing a team like Argonauts' record against Edmonton Eskimos and etc.? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.89.40.183 (talk) 16:32, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * You can find some old CFL logos here. --Xuxl (talk) 19:54, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It's helmets only, but the The Helmet Project is pretty comprehensive back to 1960 or so. It's quite a wonderful site for football (the plastic helmet wearing kind) historians.  Here's the link.  -- Jayron  32  20:43, 2 November 2010 (UTC)


 * The CFL website apparently only has stats for 2010 and 2009?! That's crazy.  BC Lions stats are available back to 1954, and hopefully the other team websites have stuff like that too. Adam Bishop (talk) 21:00, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
