Who you gonna call? (doper specialist subjects)

Legal
There’s, like, a hundred of us. Just keep it to vague questions about the law, nothing that would require specific legal advice. Answering those can get us in lots of trouble.

I humbly offer my expertise in Museums. (As if that’s a topic which pops up all the time.

I can hold my own fairly well in anything to do with small, exotic animals. If I don’t have the answer, my boss probably does or I can check the reference books.

I’m also resonably knowledgeable about very early movies and classic Hollywood, although a lot of my reference books are still buried somewhere after the last move.

The only problem is that Mr zoogirl is always fooling around and crashing the computer, so I’m sometimes not around for a while. If anyone has an urgent situation with an animal, don’t wait for me. Call a vet or your local, zoo/wildlife control. That’s probably the best idea if your dealing with a live animal anyway. I’m always up for questions, though.

I’m general, although I know comics. Not as well as Fenris, though.

Because she’s taken over the monumental task of keeping track of our natal anniversaries – and doing a great job of it so far, BTW …

I know damn near everything you would ever want to know (and quite a bit you don’t!) about medieval European genealogy, and what I don’t know I can find out. Hey, it’s highly specialized but that’s what I’m here for. :slight_smile:

.:Nichol:.

That’s not an area of expertise! :stuck_out_tongue:

Seriously though, thanks! :slight_smile:

Oops. Post was meant to be for Ice Wolf, not Nichol_storm. Medieval European genealogy is very much an area of expertise.

Wouldn’t that go to airdisc? After all, he has so many. :wink:

Tammerlane is pretty awesome historically. Even more specialized regarding things Mongolian and the Middle East. Here is his correction of Encarta

Automobile mechanical theory, esp. engines: Anthracite

Questions about Our Feathered Friends (Crows in particular) can be answered by ** brachyrhynchos**.

Then there’s SamClem for popular music.

NinetyWt, thank you!

(A little virtual O’Jays for you…I think “Love Train”)

Actually, I suck at music. I flunked bib’s recent thread on Top 40.

Etymology. Now there’s something I live for. And numismatics. That’s how I make my living.

I’m up for oil & gas, geophysics and energy market questions. Oh, and I’ll gladly dive in with the rest of our 20th century (uh, WWII?) history crew.

Johnny L.A.'s my helicopter man. Kyla’s my perspective-on-Israel contact. Padeye’s my gunner, while UncleBill and thinksnow are my Marines.

Pantellerite is my reference geologist. I think I look to Bricker and Northern Piper first for legal thoughts (and I know one is Canadian - I’m not in either of their jurisdictions)

But really now, we’ve a complement that includes many from the specialties named above beyond the names listed, and I’d encourage all to feel that we want your input. If you know something relevant about utilization of coal energy, throw it in without waiting or fearing Anthracite’s ultimate contribution. I speak for nobody but myself, but I’d guess that Anth or Johnny would really rather hear, and learn about, something they don’t yet know than occupy a position of pompous pilate of a discipline.

Myself, I’d prefer to learn. I see some goofy shit posted about the energy markets, and I try to post educational stuff in response. Anyway, I’m still with y’all.

I’ve been told I can be found any time there’s a fast food related thread…

And don’t forget Colibri who can also answer things ecological.

Thank you Mr Carter of Mars
And I have to agree with Ringo: I like seeing others answer bird questions (and especially West Nile questions). It gives me a gauge on how well we get information out there. It’s great to see an answer already given. I might pipe up to give additional information but I also learn from other dopers. (Just learned something this weekend about Black Phoebes nudged a paradigm.)
