October 12
editlooking for an old image/poster
editI am trying to find something that I saw around the internet some months ago, wondering if anyone recognises it. Basically an advertising poster portraying the real world as a game, with information on statistics of how huge the in-game world is, how many NPCs to interact with and skill points to gain and so on. Chances are it's lost amongst the billions of other mildly amusing things that pop up around here and soon disappear again, but maybe someone knows where I can find it now?

- Interesting I did try a few different terms in [www.google.com/imghp] but I don't think I found anything that meets your complete description. If there is an image that is close or has aspects of the poster you speak of you can use that image to search like images through Google, also if the poster had a title or saying that might be useful for text searches of images, did it?Marketdiamond (talk) 20:36, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
- Try the page image on TV Tropes for 'Real Life'. AlexTiefling (talk) 09:20, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
Obituaries
editI'm looking for two obituaries:
Can anyone help me find the obituary of Virginia Herrel (died September 28, 2004. I don't know if her obituary was published in either The Orange County Register, or in another newspaper, but I believe she died in Anaheim, CA)?
And can anyone help me find the obituary of Pieter Verkaik (died December 17, 2003, and his obituary was published in The Orange County Register on December 22, 2004)? 98.234.170.206 (talk) 23:17, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
- Which Orange County are we talking about, the one in California ? StuRat (talk) 00:30, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
- The Orange County Register doesn't appear to have any records of a Pieter Verkaik, on that or any other date. I searched for other Pieter's, in case that last name's spelled wrong, but none seem to be the one you want: [1].
- Here's an obit for Virginia Kilgo Herrell, but I don't think this is the right person: [2]. StuRat (talk) 00:47, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
- This site claims to have info about the death of Pieter M. Verkaik, of Santa Barbara, CA, but you have to sign up to get it:[3]. They also have a record for Virginia M. Herrel of Anaheim, CA: [4]. StuRat (talk) 00:44, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

- Virginia M. Herrel, died 9-28-04 in Anaheim. That's from Ancestry.com, but their source is the Social Security Death Index. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 05:03, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
