Bravo Rally! You got it.
Here’s an easy one.
Why did one model of Nash/Hudson have tail lights inside the trunk?
Chuck,
Re: actors playing the same fictional characters in two movies. Sorry I was dense there. I get it now. Sorta. Well, there’s probably hundreds, but I bet you’re looking for A-movies, as opposed to these examples:
Batman (66): Adam West
Batman (89): Michael Keaton
Superman (40s): Kirk Alyn
Superman (78): Christopher Reeve
Etc. I could rattle off many filmings of Shakespeare’s works, but again, I get the feeling this is not what you’re after.
#8 is bugging the heck out of me!
Sir
Chuck,
Disregard my last post. SAME actor. It’s late. Forgive me.

- Marlon Brando (won/refused Best Actor), Robert De Niro (won Best Supporting Actor), both for portraying Vito Corleone.
For RealityChuck Q #7 how about:
Steven Seagal
Jean-Claude VanDamme
Arnold Schwarzenegger
These guys play the same character in all their movies, although the character name changes from one movie to the next.
Paul Marco played the same cop Kelton in three Ed Wood films, including the infamous Plan Nine from Outer Space.
Michael Keaton played Ray Nicolett in both Jackie Brown and Out of Sight.
Don’t know if this counts, but Brendan Fraser played his Encino Man character as a brief cameo in Son In Law. On second thought, this shouldn’t count, since it involves Pauly Shore.
You’re right, Gilligan. Fraser and Keaton are exactly the type of thing I was going for. And I had forgotten about them.
The five I was thinking of were:
1-2. Brian Donlevy and Akim Tamiroff played McGinty and Boss in “The Great McGinty.” The reprised the roles in “The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek.”
3. Margaret Rutherford, who played Jane Marple in several Agatha Christie adaptation, appeared in a cameo as Marple in “The Alphabet Murders.”
4-5. Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche, who played the Duke brothers in “Trading Places,” showed up as the same characters in Eddie Murphy’s “Coming to America”
Hardy visits Ramajunan at the hospital where he is convalescing. The following conversation ensues:
Hardy: I saw the most boring number on the license plate of the cab that drove me here.
Ramajunan: Yeah, what was it?
Hardy: ****. Really inane, huh?
Ramajunan: Au contraire, my dear friend. It is a really interesting number, considering it’s the first that can be expressed as the sum of two different pairs of numbers, where in each pair both are raised to the cube.
Care to name the mysterious number and the two sets of cubed numbers that are added to generate it?
Or, more mathematically:
A[SUP]3[/SUP]+ B[SUP]3[/SUP] = **** = X[SUP]3[/SUP]+ Y[SUP]3[/SUP]
Back after a few days absence.
Hey, no one got my question right.
Which band’s music “could be described as lame”?
And the answer is /drumroll/ Billy and the Boingers
MetropoChris - Never heard of MikePortnoy.com, I’ll have to check it out
quasar:
1729 = 12[sup]3[/sup] + 1[sup]3[/sup] = 10[sup]3[/sup] + 9[sup]3[/sup].
Sorry for the intrusion guys but Fugaz’s email is private…
Mike Portnoy is the Drummer for Dream Theater. I assume you know that knowing Marillion and most likely into the proggressive world of music… M Portnoy is involved with a side project with Pete Trewavas (Bass) of Marillion called Transatlantic. I hope from one Marillion Fan to another you are aware of this its incredible! The first album was released last year and called SMPTe. They are in the studio right now for a second album due this fall! Besides Mike of Dream Theater and Pete on Bass, they have Roine Stolt of Thr Flower King’s on Guitar and Neal Morse of Spocks Beard on Vox and Keys!! A true Progressive SUPERGROUP!!!
(If you already know all this, sorry:) )
BTW, http://www.MikePortnoy.com has a kick ass forum for music and all other needs…
I think it’s “Billy and the Boingers” from Bloom County. The opening line from “I’m a Boinger”
It’s from the two song record included with the Bloom County book “Billy and the Boingers Bootleg”. I own the first edition of the book in mint condition. 
and for anyone who wants to know, the other song is “U-Stink-But-I-(HEART)-U”.
You don’t waste anytime, do you Cabbage?
BTW, I am just catching a typo in my previous post. It’s Ramanujan, not Ramajunan. Those damn Indian names. 
OK.
In the movie The Jackal, the climactic scene takes place in two Washington DC metro stations.
-
What are the names of those stations?
-
What are their real names?
Not what I had in mind …
The license plate number on the Agents car is 70858
Kevin Bacon’s birthday is 07/08/58 … grin … I spend tooooo much time at the Oracle of Bacon!!!

??!!?!!??!!?
you guys are nuts.
I don’t know the answer for sure, but Arthur Schopenhauer did push a woman down a flight of stairs (because she was talking too much and annoyed him) and had to pay disability to her until her death. When she died, he reportedly said “obit anus, abit onus”[sup]*[/sup].
Maybe he learned this behavior from his mother?
Since I knew the answer to the question in the OP and I’ve never heard of Marillon, my question is related to those lines –
What is the original name of the song from which they are taken?
What are you and I doing while the maids are working on the farm?
[sup]*[/sup]“The old woman is dead, the burden is lifted.”

Funny you should mention that. I was just reading the liner notes of that Marillion album and the lyricyist - “Fish” stated he used a nurshry ryme for those lyrics. I dont know the rhyme though…
4 might be any number of players who played for the only team their city ever had. Roberto Clemente, for example, only played professionally with Pittsburgh, though he was in the Los Angeles Dodgers farm system for a year.
panama, your guess is right on; it was Arthur Schopenhauer who got tossed down the stairs by his mother, who was reportedly threatened by young Art’s precocious intellect. It must have scarred him for life because, as you note, years later he pushed his landlady down the stairs. I remember when I first read his quote (obit anus, abit onus), I translated it as “The a**hole is dead, the burden is raised.” Oops! :eek:
I poked around, and it looks like someone even wrote a song entitled “Schopenhauer’s Blues” that includes these lines:
You gotta love the internet!
