Water polo results
As Google searches seem to be getting me nowhere, does anyone know a decent site where I can find results of European pro-league water polo matches? Joefromrandb (talk) 01:01, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, we have a page on the FINA Water Polo World League and there are results pages on that page. Is there a specific league you know about or a time frame you are looking for? Livewireo (talk) 07:47, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The day I posted this, I was searching for the mens' Adriatic League. I occasionally wager on water polo matches, Greek and Croatian leagues most commonly, and finding results often proves to be quite challenging. Joefromrandb (talk) 13:31, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Simon Cowell reference

Star Trek: The Animated Series on Blu-Ray?

 * As far as I can tell they have not announced a blu-ray edition.  However, they typically don't announce that sort of stuff very far ahead, for that exact reason : They don't want to stop people from buying the DVDs.  (There are exceptions to this rule, but in general.)  APL (talk) 02:01, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
 * This may have been the first Ref Desk question to have been asked in verse. How poetic! -- Jayron  32  02:16, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Just wondering, is there any advantages to having an animated show on bluray rather then DVD? I mean is animation of high enough quality that high def would be noticeable?  Googlemeister (talk) 13:55, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I used to wonder that exact thing. In fact I used to scoff at people who bought animated stuff in HD. But I've since realized that Hi-Def can actually make more of a difference in animation. Traditional 2d animation has a lot of sharp black lines that really emphasize the difference between standard-def and hi-def. APL (talk) 23:23, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Wish they would make more of the animated series. All but Scottie are still alive, no? μηδείς (talk) 03:21, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Anyone with such a monumentally politically incorrect given name could not have come from any of the past few generations, so it stands to reason he'd be at least getting on a bit. --   Jack of Oz   [your turn]  10:15, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Indeed. As he approached the late 70s, I overhead some Trekkers talking about DeForest-agin'. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 05:36, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
