Question

In this video, what are those words after the guy says "Shake what yo momma gave you" three times? 60.230.180.175 (talk) 01:58, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

• "Left Right and Back, Back" to my ears. Exxolon (talk) 03:18, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Axl Rose and Slash reunited?

Is this pic photoshoped, real, or am I hallucinating? --Crackthewhip775 (talk) 06:33, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

They just released Chinese Democracy, are they touring in support of it? Little Red Riding Hoodtalk 08:20, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, they are, but Slash is no longer a member of that group and isn't listed as a performer on any of the tracks (if I'm reading the article correctly). I believe he's still with Velvet Revolver. The picture doesn't look photo-shopped to me (though it is pretty low quality). Matt Deres (talk) 13:42, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Clearly a fake with two pictures put together in the middle. But it may come true in the near future... --217.228.56.26 (talk) 18:35, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

This photo is most definitely not real. It is completely photoshopped. Chinese Democracy did just come out, and it is rumored that there will be a tour in support of the album in 2009. Slash is currently in Velvet Revolver, and has not had communication with Axl in over 8 years.

Longest Broadway musical

What is the longest musical ever to run on Broaeway? The longest I can find so far is Les Misérables, which runs at 2 hours and 50 minutes. Attempts to find the answer via Google have only returned pages on the longest-running musical on Broadway. Wiwaxia (talk) 06:47, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby was like 9 hours long and had to be seen in two sittings. Oh, you said musical. Sorry, I don't know that answer. Little Red Riding Hoodtalk 08:15, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

The Winter Garden Theatre opened March 1911 with La Belle Paree, an overlong "extravaganza" that continued on well after midnight. Pepso2 (talk) 16:49, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

During the 1920s, King Features Syndicate staged annual shows at the Friars Club which were six-hour long revues starring the leading luminaries of Broadway. See Moses Koenigsberg. Pepso2 (talk) 03:41, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Net downloads

Do net downloaded video games have same quality and clarity as those which are brought over the counter?I want to know about the quality of smack down vs RAW 09 downloaded from net? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.243.134.111 (talk) 15:25, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

• Depends. If the download is not corrupted, if you have a sufficiently fast modem and if you actually buy the real deal instead of a bootleg, there should be no difference between the games. - Mgm|^(talk) 17:05, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

If you're talking about torrents and rapidshares the quality will be the same. Most video games online come as ISO which is a direct copy of the source disk without any alteration or loss of quality / data. SN0WKITT3N 20:49, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

That's not necessarily true. Some pirate ISOs are rips. They can remove or drastically reduce in quality the movies, audio, and sometimes even textures. They do this for a variety of reasons, but I would assume that a big one is that DVD-Rs don't hold as much as factory produced DVDs. I have no idea how common this is in this modern age of cable modems.

I would assume that any reputable purveyor of stolen software (Haha!) would make such things clear, but really, who the heck knows.APL (talk) 21:21, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Army vs Navy Games

How many army/navy games did the navy win —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.9.76.121 (talk) 16:19, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Not surprisingly, the answer can be found right in the infobox of Army-Navy Game. Deor (talk) 22:17, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
