January 29[edit]

Book[edit]

When I was in the 3rd grade (1993ish) we read this book about a kid who licked his elbow and turned into a girl, figuratively — that is, he was finding himself dotting his I's with hearts. This book was probably a product of the 1980s or 1990s. Anyone know what it was? I can't remember the author or anything else.

I think it's Is He a Girl? (1993) from the Marvin Redpost series by Louis Sachar. ---Sluzzelin talk 03:38, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

NCIS headwear[edit]

I noticed the headwear worn by the NCIS team members on NCIS. Gibbs, DiNozzo, Ziva, McGee and Palmer wear sport caps. Ducky wears what looks like a fishmerman's bucket hat. If that's the case, is the hat khaki, gray or navy blue? Any special markings on it, as well?24.193.90.61 (talk) 07:58, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Going to Google's image search tool (images.google.com) and searching for "NCIS Ducky" gives a number of photos of the character. The hat is khaki, with no writing or marks on it that I can see. It appears to be a personal hat, rather than an employer-issued one, like the NCIS-logoed baseball cap that the other characters wear. -- 174.21.236.191 (talk) 19:29, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The second longest-running theatrical release in film history ...[edit]

The Rocky Horror Picture Show has the longest-running theatrical release in film history.

Which movie has the second longest-running theatrical release? -- Toytoy (talk) 18:01, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe Romance on Lushan Mountain, out since 1980, ~~which Guinness claims is the longest (according to the article)~~. Oops, longest run at one cinema.Clarityfiend (talk) 22:32, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We had a very similar question a few months ago (should be somewhere in the archives). At the time I mentioned Sholay and DDLJ as two extremely long-running Bollywood movies that turned out to be pretty good candidates. Have you tried searching Google? This sounds like one of those cases where the big G should easily be able to find an answer. Zunaid 07:53, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
