February 11

Frank Sinatra

[edit]

Bold textIs Frank Sinatra's first wife (Nancy) still living??66.162.228.142 (talk) 01:07, 11 February 2008 (UTC)aschultz[reply]

Apparently she was still alive when Frank died in 1998. This says she inherited $250,000 from his estate. This says she died “some years ago”, but the links provided don’t shed any light on when, and really even if, she died. -- JackofOz (talk) 01:42, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cute cat

[edit]

Morris the Cat is really cute. I wish I could find some plush toys in the likeness of him. If anyone out there has information about those types of things, please let me know. Thank you.72.229.136.18 (talk) 06:55, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes they exist. Try Googling "Morris the Cat plushie" for lots of hits including ebay sales. SaundersW (talk) 13:34, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New "Ice Age" Movie

[edit]

Okay, so a some of us were looking at this ad about a new movie and it had cavemen with cavewoman and sabre tooth tigers and mammoths, then one of us said, "Here's a spoiler: Manny returns their baby in the end." While this was really funny, now I forgot what it's called. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I think the movie was named after a certain year during the ice age, I think. --Jeevies (talk) 18:59, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Are you thinking of 10,000 BC? — Lomn 19:08, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that was it! Thanks. --Jeevies (talk) 06:15, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

An American Family: Ever on DVD?

[edit]

My understanding is that this series was a landmark on TV. It is talked about often, one of the first "reality shows". Everybody seems to be interested in it. Why haven't they put it on DVD? Are there any plans to? Does the family object? I really want to see this bad.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.220.2.13 (talk) 21:15, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

JAG

[edit]

There was an episode about an american chaplain that was believed to have done miracles and was about to or already beatificated. What was the episode and was that based on fact?--85.180.16.119 (talk) 21:58, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I never saw the show and don't know the episode that you speak of. Though I don't think it would have been based on fact since in order to beatified by the Catholic Church, you must first be dead and you didn't mention anything about this chaplain being dead. See beatification. Dismas|(talk) 07:19, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I didn´t mention that he is alive either. And yes, he was dead. JAG is trashy, but not trashy enough to make such a mistake.--85.180.22.106 (talk) 09:14, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
According to this the episode was entitled "Miracles" and it originally aired Feb. 6, 2001. See the list of episodes. Dismas|(talk) 09:30, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've never seen the episode, but it sounds like it could be based on Vincent Robert Capodanno, he's been named a Servant of God by the Roman Catholic Church. jwillbur 23:39, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mass Effect discussion page is bein' a bit buggy

[edit]

New saves aren't appearing or aren't appearing in the right place under the Edit. Yes, I know it can take time for new edits to appear but I noticed that one whole discussion subsection vanished in between discussion page edits but there is no record of anyone removing them on the history page. Someone tried to put the Sovereign voice discussion back where it was but that might have only made the problem worse. Not sure what happened but if someone could take a look and suss it out, it would be much appreciated. KeeperOTD (talk) 22:43, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
