Quickie Questions

Go To

This thread is for quick questions. A "quick question" is a question which has a relatively quick, generally factual answer; a question which is not likely to inspire an extended discussion.

e.g.

Quick Question: How tall is an average ten-year-old boy?
Not a Quick Question: Why are Americans obsessed with guns?

Quick Question: Why is ALS sometimes called Lou Gehrig's Disease? Who was Lou Gehrig?
Not a Quick Question: In Alan Dean Foster's Thranx Commonwealth series, is Pip a Mary Sue?

Clarendon Wide immediately came to mind. There is even a stencil version.

^ I was thinking of that one, too, but I couldn't place the name.

Also, I chuckled because my MyFonts example text is still "This thread needs more Highway Gothic", from where I was comparing Interstate.

Health question female related that's a bit inappropriate/embarrassing...   .

I'm not sure whether it's more common to than not, but I know it's not vanishingly rare. For one thing, that I recall, many find their sense of smell more acute at that time. I can smell it on some women occasionally, and my nose is not all that sensitive.

Blood appears to be a scent that many humans are very sensitive to, which might make evolutionary sense and all that.

A brighter future for a darker age.

All right, I was thinking it worked like sweat, but I wanted to make sure, since I know it's not even actual blood...sorta. But yeah, thanks.

I guess it could also be the fact that once you know the smell, it's a lot easier to pick up.

Also for further context (and I'm not really sure how much of a difference it makes),  *

Okay, I think that might actually be a factor too. Don't quote me on it though, because I really can't claim expertise on this sort of thing.

Yeah, obviously if someone else of the female gender claims otherwise, I'll believe them over you, but what you said makes a lot of sense.

I guess it's one of those things you never notice with other people, but once it's you, you assume everyone might notice...

At what point in "Be Prepared" does Scar's singing voice switch from Jeremy Irons to Jim Cummings?

According to Wikipedia, it's from "You won't get a sniff without me!" onward.

It's amazingly seamless, though.

Not to me, it isn't.

Fuck, I can totally hear it now.

I've been listening to this song since before you were born, and now that's gonna bother me every time.

Why was the voice actor changed for that role?

The story I've heard is that Jeremy Irons tried recording his character's own singing lines, but his voice gave out and Jim Cummings finished the song.

(Though I think I read that on Wikipedia, and that seems like cheating)r

Oh, you know what's stupid? Before I asked it I had Wikipedia's article for the song open in another tab (I think I did). Must have missed that part.

Which came first, Superfreak or U Can't Touch This?

Superfreak. U Can't Touch This sampled it.

I see. Funny, considering I heard U Can't Touch This way before I ever heard Superfreak, and I like the latter better anyway. Damn, I can't STAND Superfreak.

What is "how is babby formed" from? I found it written in a lot of phone books and questionnaires at work and I didn't find anything on google other than the same question.
