Non-Bengali singers singing Bengali songs
Besides Mohammed Rafi, Ghulam Ali, Pankaj Udhas, Jagjit Singh, Mehdi Hasan, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Anup Jalota and Talat Mahmood, what other non-Bengali singers were known for singing songs in Bengali regardless they were Pakistani and Indian? I am trying to listen how they sound like when they are singing songs in Bengali. Please and thanks. Donmust90 (talk) 02:30, 24 July 2016 (UTC)Donmust90Donmust90 (talk) 02:30, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

What kind of Dance Jump is this?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v43/Luigi/Russian%20Jump.png Such an amazing display of flexibility and athleticism! --Arima (talk) 06:55, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
 * This article calls it a "Russian straddle jump". This video calls it an "open side leap". See split leap for our article.  Tevildo (talk) 15:03, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

Laptop Getting Hot While Playing
Hello, are the rise of temperature and speed of fan signs of a horrible end for the laptop due to playing games ? are all laptops prepared to be used for gaming ? 86.108.76.36 (talk) 17:25, 24 July 2016 (UTC) My graphic card is Nvidia 820m, 2GBs 86.108.76.36 (talk) 17:49, 24 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Some laptops are better prepared for gaming than others (you get what you pay for). There are forums where you can find tips & tricks for keeping hard-core gamers' laptops alive.  And, yes, a computer that is constantly struggling to maintain operational temperature is likely doomed to an early grave.

Stool with ladies legs
I saw the The Australian Ballet's version of Cinderella yesterday, and the set draws heavily on Dada and Surrealist Art. For example Salvador Dalí's Mae West Lips Sofa and Man Ray's Object to Be Destroyed both feature. There is also a low square stool, with four ladies legs forming the legs of the stool. The legs are bent at the knee and there is one in each corner. The legs are white and have red shoes on. I remember seeing one years ago and I think it might be a famous item. Does anybody recognise it from my description? I can't find it on Google, but it's not the easiest of things to search for. Thanks! --TrogWoolley (talk) 18:20, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Is this it: Folies Bergere Boudoir Stool ? (Close, but not exactly your description, however) 2606:A000:4C0C:E200:98E7:59EE:3480:3C03 (talk) 18:58, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I remember English comedy-magician Tommy Cooper had a table, where the legs fell off, and he released two legs like that.
 * From some searching, it seems they've been around since the 1950s (according to this).
 * Youtube has various videos of them (example), and other magicians using similar setups . 86.20.193.222 (talk) 05:37, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Cooper's 'Jack Hughes Comedy Legs Table' does not fit OP's description, however. --2606:A000:4C0C:E200:58E2:3708:C2A3:B874 (talk) 17:55, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
