What episode of Grey's Anatomy is this?

This episode of Grey's Anatomy features some black-bearded man that Izzie seemed to care about, and when he died, Izzie was crushed. What episode of Grey's Anatomy is this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sirdrink13309622 (talk • contribs) 07:10, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are you talking a about the character Denny Duquette? He was a patient with a heart problem who fell in love with Izzy and eventually got engaged to her. She risked her career to worsen his condition to move him up the UNOS list. Jeffrey Dean Morgan played Denny. He has appeared in many episodes.

Who sang the holiday song used in the movie Die Hard? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.176.24.49 (talk) 15:43, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are a few 'holiday' songs in the movie Die Hard, the most well remembered is Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! and according to imdb, the version used was sung by Vaughn Monroe. A list of the music used in the film is available on imdb. 86.21.74.40 (talk) 15:53, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Xmas song

I'm looking for a particular version of "Christmas is A-Comin'". It's not the Bing Crosby version as it contains this verse which his version lacks:

"Pleased to let an old man sit around the fire,
to warm his bones for a while by the old Yule log,
If you'd rather I didn't sit around, to stand around will do,
If you'd rather I didn't stand around, may GOD BLESS YOU !"

(The first two lines I guessed at, but the last two are nearly exact.) I'd like to both identify the artist/album and find where I can download it, if available. StuRat (talk) 17:08, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On iTunes music store there are...Harry Belafonte, John Denver & The Muppets, Kidzone, Royal Choral Society, Laura Greenwald and Friends, Adrian Bal and many more. I'm not sure if they're all the same song but they're all called that. ny156uk (talk) 19:22, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So how would I find out which version is the right one ? StuRat (talk) 23:18, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yes I guess the 30 second samples might not prove which is the right one...Well you could buy them (though you'd end up with about 10 copies of essentially the same song which would be weird). I guess try You-tube, or look on songmeanings.net that's a good lyrics site and might have be to them. ny156uk (talk) 00:25, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Atari ST game

Dunno. Have you tried looking through our list of Atari ST games?--Shantavira|^{feed me} 17:27, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds a lot like it could've been Skull and Crossbones, which a quick search on www.atari.st (great site for ST fans, btw) tells me was published in 1991 by Domark. I only ever played the demo of it, but it was a one or two player fighting/brawling game (kind of like Golden Axe, but more free-roaming), the player characters were pirates, and as I recall somewhere near the start of the game you were on a beach with skeletons popping up out of the ground. I think when you killed them they dropped coins. --Monorail Cat 23:48, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Anime series - giant worms devouring a city

Giant worms devouring a Japanese (?) city is what I remember from an anime series. The protagonist was a girl and the plot evolved around something like global warming, pollution, environment or something anyway it didn't seem like the series is about human relationships of any sort. The name of the series was something "purely" Japanese perhaps the girls name I think the first letter was "a" but I couldn't find anything in the anime category on Wikipedia...

Fruit of the Loom Commercials

On the fruit of the loom commercials where there are four guys dressed in fruit costumes, there is always this one guy who is in this weird mustard yellow costume that's kind of lumpy. What is the the guy dressed in the lumpy yellow costume supposed to be? And aren't there only three fruits on the logo?

Well the yellow appears on the logo at the bottom (allbeit in a small way). Here (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_the_Fruit_of_the_Loom_characters) is the answer to the question. Namely gooseberries? ny156uk 23:07, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Movie search

There was a movie produced perhaps some time before World War 2 titled "Resurrection." Apparently it was based on the book of the same title by Leo Tolstoy. It is referred to by Viktor Frankl in his book "Man's Search for Meaning." I would like to find out if it is available on any modern media for purchase or viewing. I have searched the video stores and my library, but I only came up with copies of the Tolstoy book. Thanks.74.233.13.243 06:43, 2 December 2007 (UTC)Tex Ford[reply]

Ps2 fighting and racing games AND Wii shooter and racing games.

A few days ago I got Gran turismo 3 for the playstation 2 because I heard it was a good game. But when I played it I was incredibly disapointed. The game was very very very difficult for me and was hard to controll. It was "too realistic". I am looking for a ps2 racing game that is easy to controll, full of action , and to have car damage (kinda like the batman begins racing game leval).

Also I want to know if mortal kombat Armagaden is 2 player and if you can rip the other enemies head off and throw it at them.

AAAAlso a few months ago I got "call of duty 3" for the wii and I was horibly disapointed. The controlls were so sensative!!! It was incredibly hard to aim. I want to know if "Resident evil: the umbrella chronicles" has better and easier controlls than "call of duty". If not ,than which wii shooter game is very precise and easy.

AAND finally I want to know if the wii racing games are easy to controll and not "too realistic". If so which one is the easiest to controll?

Thank you for reading the whole thing!! Sorry if it's long and has grammer mistakes. I rushed. (Deathmouse 19:52, 2 December 2007 (UTC))[reply]

I'm not too sure about the ps2 games, but for the wii i would say that umbrella chronicles was a very good game and easy to control, but u might want to try out metroid prime 3, and for a racing game u could try Excite Truck and in 2008 mario kart for the wii will be coming out, so u might want to start saving up ur money! --Dlo2012 22:22, 2 December 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dlo2012 (talk • contribs) 22:21, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you want a PS2 racing game with action, damage, and easy control, IMHO it doesn't get much better than Burnout 3. There's something incredibly satisfying about zooming along city streets at 140 MPH ramming other cars out of the way. You can pick up second hand copies pretty cheaply these days, too. --Monorail Cat 23:30, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I thought that Ridge Racer was fun, and pretty easy in that totally unlikely physics kind of way. I wish my car stuck to the road like that! As for the Wii controls, I've been pleasantly suprised by the controls in the latest Metroid release. Still, give me a keyboard and mouse any day... --Mdwyer 22:08, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Donald Duck "Hair Tonic Get Rich Scheme Comic"

Hello, there's an old Carl Barks Donald Duck comic (likely 50's or 60's) that involves a get-rich scheme by Donald to buy hair tonic, claim it doesn't work, and then return it for double his money. I think it involves, at one point, someone rubbing it in and he growing hair all over his body. I can't seem to get much info on it. Does anyone know the comic # and year & month? --Doctorcherokee 21:05, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know, but the plot sounds almost identical to an I Love Lucy episode where she bought cans of beans with a guarantee "if these aren't the best beans ever, get double your money back". She then returned them, bought twice as many cans with the money, returned them, bought twice as many, etc. I wonder who ripped off whose idea. StuRat 21:57, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The story you're referring to was first published in Donald Duck #35 (1954) and was republished in Donald Duck #147 (1973)--SeizureDog 00:03, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On a side note, the bean episode StuRat is referring to is "Lucy the Bean Queen" from The Lucy Show, not I Love Lucy, and aired on September 26, 1966. So Donald did the joke over 10 years earlier, though I doubt he was the first.--SeizureDog 00:11, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Name this computer game

Ok, so this one is a real toughy. First off, the game was playable in DOS and almost certainly released before 1990. I remember the name being something like "Worm", but that may have just been the filename. It's certainly not the Worms game you probably think I mean, nor was it a Snake clone. The few details that I can remember are that the gameplay involved a grid of some sort, with different tiles everywhere (one tile was a palm tree). The "worm" tile was something to avoided I think, and would make this really weird "waaaaaaaaaaawn" sound if you got killed by it. It's been bugging me for ages, but I can't figure out what it is.

Simpsons episode

Hello,

I keep thinking I have seen a Simpson's episode where Marge is very successful for some reason (but not the pretzel one) and Homer is worried that she will want to marry young as he meets these three guys who all say how they have married rich older women (like Marge) they were all athletic and Homer was sitting on a recliner by a pool when they spoke to him.

So can someone tell me if this is a real episode or if I have just completely invented it!
