Cover of a song by Mouth and Macneal

I'm looking for a recent, fast-tempo, dance-music version of the song, How do you do, by Mouth and Macneal. There exist several songs by this title, ironically the one by Cascada is not a cover of the one I'm referring to. The vocalist is a female, i think, it could have been merely altered.

nm.... I found it... it's a sampling by Party Animals. - ΖαππερΝαππερ ^Babel_Alexandria 15:47, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Descartes walks into a cafe.

The waiter says: Will you be having coffee this morning, Monsieur Descartes.

Descartes replies: I think not.

We have an article on Funniest Joke in the World. I could tell you it, but then I'd have to... no actually I wouldn't. DJ Clayworth (talk) 16:00, 19 March 2009 (UTC) ...and also, possibly more helpfully, World's funniest joke. DJ Clayworth (talk) 16:26, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

What's the title of this movie?

An astronaut blasts off from Earth, intending to travel along Earth's orbit and return six weeks later. However, the trip lasts for only three weeks. When the astronaut returns he is accused of chickening out and turning his spaceship around. It turns out there is a doppelganger of Earth on the far side of the sun. I think this film dates back to the 1950's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.36.209.121 (talk) 18:55, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

You were close: Doppelgänger, released in the U.S. as Journey to the Far Side of the Sun. --—— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk - 19:13, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Is this Rob Ryan and if not who is it?

I saw this person during the pre-game warmups last December before a Patriots game against the Raiders.  I thought it might be Rob Ryan since there weren't any other Raiders staff on the field who looked remotely like him and thought it might be possible that Ryan had gotten a haircut and shaved.  It was later removed from the Rob Ryan article as it doesn't match up with his "typical" appearance, so I'm wondering if anyone knows if it really is him or is someone else and if so, who.  Thanks.

Here's pics of Ryan: [1]. That is definately NOT him. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 02:07, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

I really don't think it's Ryan. Firstly every picture of Ryan shows him being very wide and increasingly heavy set - the guy in your photo is much slighter by comparison. Secondly the shapes of their noses don't match - profile photos of Ryan this and this show he has a straight nose with a sharp end; your guy has a more rounded nose with a much more rounded end. Less empirically their eyes don't match. Dog Day Today (talk) 02:12, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Looking at their coaching staff, I think that might be John Marshall, the defensive coordinator.[2] --JGGardiner (talk) 02:43, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Marshall only joined the Raiders after Ryan left after the 2008 season, so it's likely not him. BrokenSphere^{Msg me} 20:09, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
