Identify this tune
Can anyone identify the melody used for the song in this short? I'm sure I've heard it somewhere before. Thanks! L ANTZY T ALK 08:05, 20 August 2013 (UTC)


 * The melody is somewhat reminiscent of the chorus of Lenka's "Trouble Is a Friend". -- Finlay McWalterჷTalk 09:26, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm trying to identify the song that appears in that film clip. "Trouble Is a Friend" was written several decades after the film was produced, so obviously it isn't the song I'm looking for. L ANTZY T ALK 10:57, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Blastaar
Ok, just found out about this character yesterday while reading a copy of Marvel Masterworks. Does anyone know how Blastaar manage to resurrect/revive after supposedly getting destroyed by a wave of Professor X's stored power? ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 13:43, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Diplomacy (game)
I am playing France and own gas and spa. Italy owns pie. Mar is vacant. If I move gas-mar and spa-mar and Italy supports gas-mar, will Gas succeed and prevent my building there? The alternative is spa-por and gas-spa the risk being that Italy moves pie-mar. What would you do? Kittybrewster  &#9742;  14:30, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Do you trust Italy? If Italy supports gas-mar (or does nothing), then yes, that move will succeed and you won't be able to build in mar.  If Italy tries to move there then everything bounces and the space will be open for building, which would be great, but are they going to do that? This is assuming next turn is a building turn and spa is a new acquisition for you so you have a build coming?  I might lean towards your alternative, it is a riskier move, but would pay off nicely if Italy does not move to mar - and even if they do, that would still be a net +1 build for you as long as you make sure one of your other building spots is open - Italy would also get a +1, so be prepared for that, but getting the extra piece on the board is probably worth it. If your other building spots are blocked then I'd play it more conservative.  Kmusser (talk) 17:56, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you. No I don't trust Italy (what is he doing, moving to pie?) and yes it is a Fall move. The only gain I have is spa. Par is empty. Kittybrewster  &#9742;  20:21, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
