Jimmy MacDonald and Wayne Allwine were the only two people who voiced Mickey Mouse on a regular basis besides Walt Disney himself. (I’m discounting Carl Stalling, who may have done the voice in one short and Chris Diamantopoulos, who is the current voice.) What did the two of them have in common?
They both got their start in the sound effects department at Disney.
Speaking of Mickey, Minnie’s voice in the more recent (post 1970’s) cartoons were done by Russi Taylor. What did she and Wayne Allwine (Mickey’s voice) have in common?
“What is the only commonly-circulated US coin that bears two depictions of the same President?”
Used to be, the answer was the penny: Lincoln is, of course, on the obverse, but the reverse with the Lincoln Memorial, if you look closely, has the statue of Lincoln in the middle.
Of course, this is now obsolete twice over: Because pennies no longer show the Lincoln Memorial, and because there are now at least two quarters with an image of Washington on the reverse (the state quarters for New Jersey, with Washington Crossing the Delaware, and South Dakota, with Mount Rushmore).
In which episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, do we see Sulu in the captain’s seat? And given that Kirk and Spock were both on the bridge at the time, and Scotty was on the ship, why was Sulu there?
“Is There in Truth No Beauty?” and Spock had been driven insane by the sight of a Medusan, and he knocked Sulu into the seat while Sulu and other crew were trying to restrain him.
Twice. If you squint you can see him, seated, between columns of the Lincoln Memorial on the obverse side. The *refers to them changing designs of late, but on that version with the Lincoln Memorial he’s in there.
You know siblings, who have two parents in common…and half siblings, who have one parent in common. But what’s a 3/4 sibling?
I’ve posted it elsewhere in SDMB, but if two marry and produce a child, and the father dies, and his brother takes his place and they have another child…I guess this was common in some cultures, even some Christian cultures. The children from the second marriage would be 3/4 sibs, genetically. See also: horse breeding.
How is the penny different from the nickel, dime, and quarter in US coins (and the answer has nothing to do with copper, color?
Lincoln faces the opposite direction—to the right instead of left, like the rest.
How many grooves does a 3 minute LP record have, at 33 RPM?
You would have to give a reason why it points to the north–or to the south–of the center. My point was that the oblateness means that the perpendicular to the level surface (which is where a plumb line points–that’s a theorem) does not point to the center.
Here is another of my favorite trivia questions. What is special about Feb, 12, 1809?
Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin were born that day.
