The guitar looks exactly like the one in this auction. Same bridge, same pick guard, same hardware, same paint colors around the opening, same diamond inlays on the head. It's a Gibson 12 string acoustic guitar, serial number 952836. I believe the model is a B45-12 sunburst. The main difference between the one in the auction and the one I have is that it has "Made in the USA" stamped under the serial number and I know that's important to dating it. I keep bumping into conflicting info on the net.

I know condition is everything and this one has many cracks in the finish but other than that it seems to be in good working order but I am not a guitarist. I'm only going by what my eyes are telling me.

I'm watching the Pittsburgh Pirates go from being 14 games over .500 and being a mortal lock to finishing with a winning record for the first time in 20 years to currently sitting at 72-67, 5 games above .500. If the Bucs finish 80-82 that would be a sixteen game swing. What's the record for games over .500 and finishing with a losing season?

I just put a new toilet flapper in and when you flush it drops all the way over backwards and stays open. It looks like the attached except the ring is brass and the float that's facing the camera is solid on both ends. It's not hollow like this one. Do I have the wrong one?

There's always been some debate about my father's birthday. The story was the he was born during a blizzard in 1915. Anyone know of a website that can tell me the weather by date by location that far back?

I'm looking for superhero characters that are obviously based on/ripped off from Batman. Marvel has a couple variation on Night Hawk and a character called Hawk Owl in their Ultimate universe. There's The Midnighter from The Authority and there's Nite Owl from "The Watchmen" mini series.

Can anyone name anymore? Don't be afraid to get obscure.

The guy with the shaggy long hair...

I'm trying to make a mock movie poster in Photoshop and I wanted to add the little box that has the rating and explain what the rating means but I can't find a nice clean graphic of one on line. Does anyone know what the thing is called or where I can find clip art of one?

I have a G5 iMac with OS 10.6.6 and when I play music on iTunes (downloaded or off a CD) it's terribly staticy. I don't seem to have any problems with audio on any videos. I just listened to a DVD of The Who and if anything it was too loud!

The problem seems to be getting worse too.

I reboot the network, restart the modem, let it stablize, then reboot the router then start the computer. The computer will find the signal and it will be strong (75% plus) and the speed will be like 56 MBps and you can go on any internet site.

Now what happens is the speed drops off. Quickly. Within five minutes it will down to 48 MBps then 36 MBps and of course the internet just turns to sludge. Finally it will bottom out at 2 MBps.

The computer I am using is plugged in through the router and it works fine.

Where is my speed going?

I know how to do it for all tracks but I have an album were tracks 3 and 4 shouldn't have a gap. They are supposed to run together.

How do I eliminate the gap between just those two songs?

Did he get fried by Darkseid in Final Crisis or did he go down in a fiery helicopter crash?

Seems like he had two deaths this year.

Roman senators wore robes. If the Sens wanted to be "The Gladiators" why didn't they name themselves "The Gladiators"?

There's no "Rd." for Richard or "Sn." for Steven. Why does Willaim have an abbreviation?

If Peter takes everyone else's powers shouldn't he have been able to fly away on his own? Why did Nathan have to fly him?

I need someone who can read the characters to explain this to me. What flavor of Doritos prompts a drawing of two guys dressed up like The Phantom and one is stomping the other guys nads? And the getting stomped seems to be enjoying it!

It looks like the orange guy is trying to dig a hole with the yellow guy.

I like that the orange guy is wearing glasses...

One liners. Something like "Your mouth is like Denny's, it never closes!"

Who do I owe a swift kick in the nutz for ever putting this skinny, skanky, no talent, fashion nightmare, bottom feeder, hack in front of a microphone and telling her to sing? Someone need executed!

When I hear Stefani I yearn to be deaf? I am sick of hearing!!

I was driving this morning and there was this good looking woman walking across a parking lot. I mean she was a good 100 yards away. I looked at her for about two seconds and she snapped her head around and looked right at me like I flashed a light at her. She couldn't have seen me. I was in a row of traffic. But she knew I was looking at her. How?

And once I was sitting at a trafiic light and I just knew the guy behind me to my left was staring at me. I couldn't see him. I just "felt" the stare. I thought it was someone who was pissed at me and I was going to end up in a fight. I didn't even want to turn my head and give the guy a chance to get my attention. Turns out it was just a friend of mine but he stared at the back of my head and BAM... I turned around.

How do you feel someone's gaze on you?

I was driving the other day I saw the smallest car I ever saw. It remineded me of a Nash Rambler station wagon from the early 60s.

But like a half scale version. I mean Cooper Minis are small but they still look like cars. This was more like a toy or an amusement park ride. It looked like there was two people in it and I can't imagine how any adult could even fit in this thing.

Anyone have any idea what this might have been? I had the feeling it may have been European.

How do I get my shoe to stop squeaking when I walk? It just started this. I assumed it was wet or something but it's been going on for days.
