While it’s true that they play a clip of Julie Andrews singing “The Sound of Music” in _Addams Family Values_, it’s not what I’m looking for – In the movie (s) I’m looking for, the lines are sung by characters in the movie – it’s not a clip from the original film. I’m pretty sure the lines don’t appear in the South Park movie. It’s not listed in the IMDb “Soundtrack” page. ---

What is the Capital of South Africa ? they officially have 3 sharing that status !.. umm.. What is the capital of the Netherlands ? Its law says in a line about Coronations, which is only saying things for the purpose of coronations , that they should occur at Amsterdam, the capital. (The purpose of describing the place in two different ways is unclear. ) .. Its problematic. They do say its Amsterdam, but we know its a paper thin claim… the only capital function of Amsterdam is coronations. What if you say the Hague ? and the next monarch could decide not to have the coronation at Amsterdam, as its only letters patent not even locked in law or constitution. ---

> [@Slithy\_Tove](#): > > [An impressively long list of centenarian performers.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_centenarians_(actors,_filmmakers_and_entertainers)) There may well be other examples. With 383 credits to his name, Charles Lane is a likely common denominator Interesting that on that list, while there are a bunch of folks who made it to 104 years, not a single one made it to 105 or beyond. Some sort of glass ceiling? I am also curious whether, assuming he makes it to 100, will David Attenborough be the first TV/Film star to still be actively making new content at the century mark? (And crawling in the grass after animals no less) ---

Of men turning 100, only 1 in 17 are expected to make it to 105. Of women turning 100, 1 in 12 are expected to make 105. To put those numbers in further perspective, ~0.7% of men live to 100, while ~2% of women do. These are very rare birds indeed. Across all of society there are rather a lot of people who make it to 100. Such that the statistics I mention will reliably apply to the whole cohort Once you add the additional requirement for the new centenarian to be a celebrity, the absolute numbers get real small. Small enough that bad luck could explain whey nobody has made it to 105 yet. ---

From 2000-2025 _The Price Is Right_ producer was Adam Sandler. Not that one. I am sure something could be done with that. ---

In which animated children’s show is there a dog named Bandit ? (If you only get one of the two, which one you get will surely depend on your age.) ---

Being ancient, I only know Jonny Quest’s dog. Looking it up on the ‘net, I see there’s a Bandit in Bluey, too. Our daughter is well past Bluey age (Actually, when I first heard of Bluey, I thought they were talking about Blue’s Clues, so it’s understandable I wouldn’t know. But I admit that looking it up is cheating. ---

I had to look up the spelling, so I guess I’m cheating too. Nor did I know the last name. Apparently it’s Bluey Heeler. ---

In that case, I will answer. The post wasn’t intended to be taken seriously. It is a joke, and a reference to a piece of popular culture. I guess you are not familiar with the reference.
