Song Background

I'm looking for any stories or other background behind the song, Whispering, by Schonberger, Coburn and Rose, first published in 192070.24.170.223 (talk) 16:10, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

There's not much there, but have you read Whispering (song)?--Shantavira|^{feed me} 09:00, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Whats up...

... with that punching sound heard in movies and teevee shows? --Abin Sur (talk) 17:34, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you're asking - could you be more specific please? Anyway, this google search returns some links to downloadable sound clips. Zain Ebrahim (talk) 18:40, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

It sounds nothing at all like an actual punch. Why? Obviously for effect, but its startlingly unlike the actual sound. And how do "they" create the sound? Where did it start? --Abin Sur (talk) 19:37, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Here's a good explanation : The Straight Dope : How do they make "punch" sounds in movies? -- APL (talk) 22:16, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

The West Wing: Poster in the office of Toby Ziegler

In the TV serial The West Wing, the character Toby Ziegler has a poster in his office (at least the first season) which looks lika a reproduction of an art print. Does somebody know who the artist is? /B****n (talk) 18:45, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Do you have a picture of the poster we can look at, or a link to one online? Algebraist 18:54, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

I googled "toby ziegler poster" and found this link, which says the poster is Amnesty International's, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights. `--- OtherDave (talk) 19:31, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

That's not the one I had in mind. The poster I was asking about can be seen on this Youtube-clip. You can get a rather good look at it at 3:26. /B****n (talk) 21:13, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

The print is "Earth Bouquet" by Daniel Gelakoska
