What is the background music for the online game "Dress your gay dog"?
There's this old game that still hangs around the web called "Dress your gay dog", I added one link to it below. I've always been curious about what the song is that plays in the background for this game. It could be original music, but I doubt it because the guy who made this game also made another game that used "Money" by Pink Floyd. We don't hear lyrics, so there's nothing I can go on to search for it. Any help?
1 AnswerPolls & Surveys1 decade agoRiddle for all the Wikipedians out there?
You probably won't get this one unless you've been an established Wikipedian for quite some time, but you can try!
How is a car with Stalin and Lenin riding in it like Wikipedia?
1 AnswerJokes & Riddles1 decade agoAre conservatives hypocritical when they call for "small government"?
I'm confused. Here's several things right-wingers tend to like: Spearheading the USA Patriot Act, asking for greater police patrols, supporting an Arizona immigration bill that allows for police racial profiling, supporting huge military spending and a wasteful war, asking for large prisons so our streets are "safe" and "clean", supporting the government's war on drugs, asking the government to ban abortion and gay marriage, supporting the government's use of the death penalty, and supporting the government's use of torture. Add that all up and you end up with more freedom and "smaller" government? This equation seems fishy here. Are conservatives really just people who love huge government that protects the rich and powerful and gives no help to the poor, struggling, and underrepresented? And do they claim "small government" just to brainwash Americans into supporting their totalitarian dreams? What do you think.
Keep in mind that the word "liberal" contains the word root "liber".
10 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoIs Wikipedia vandalism that big of a deal?
If more people who went on to Wikipedia for research purposes knew how the encyclopedia worked, if they knew about the page history, they wouldn't be misinformed by a vandalized page because they could easily revert vandalism themselves (I myself have done this a few times, I see something I know is not right, I look in the history, sure enough the most recent edit was an unexplained IP change, I revert it, life goes on). Then admins wouldn't have such a hard time. And even though vandalism seems "pointless" since it's removed quickly, anyone CAN still see it if they go to the page history (I do it all the time and get a kick out of how immature some people can be). But it seems some users get so pissed off about vandalism, and yet it's just Wikipedia, and there are thousands of other users and bots out there to revert it. We're lucky we even have a free encyclopedia, millions of people living in third-world countries aren't as fortunate to even have access to free information. I mean, I know vandalism is annoying, but can't admins just learn to be more positive sometimes, I look at some top-ranking editors and all their recent edits are "rv vandalism, undid revision..., warning level 4 for user:.., etc" how about "added info..." for once?
Also, this question has been moved to HAGGER????!!! for great justice and epic lulz on wheels.
5 AnswersWikipedia1 decade agoAnyone heard of the FISS?
There's this (possibly, or probably, fake) government agency known as the Federal Intelligence and Security Service, or the FISS. The website is www.fiss.us, and someone made a page on Wikipedia about it a few weeks ago (it got deleted promptly as a likely hoax). But the website has the fancy seal and claims to be the U.S. government, supposedly set up in the LBJ administration, and has a .us domain name. Is this fake? Has anyone ever heard of this?
1 AnswerGovernment1 decade agoIs Wikipedia's block-evasion policy rather stupid?
After getting my account blocked for no good reason (I don't vandalize the main namespace), I wasn't able to edit Wikipedia from my IP because they didn't want me to evade the block. But I just connected to a different router and continued editing. That IP was then also blocked because I boasted about how I evaded their block. But hey, I go to school everyday and could continue editing (or even vandalizing) Wikipedia from one of the school computers, boasting about it along the way and taunting the admins (hey, I'm sorry if you're a WP admin reading this question, but being a WP admin doesn't make you the master of the universe). I could also go to the mall, library, etc, any place with free internet (even a friends' house). When it all comes down to it, isn't this policy unenforceable?
4 AnswersWikipedia1 decade agoIs Wikipedia too harsh on sockpuppetry?
Is it fair for Wikipedia to block every suspected sockpuppet (including constructive ones) and also ban any attempts at evading the block by blocking IP addresses from the sockpuppet? I made one sock, used it only for good edits to the namespace, and as soon as I admitted it was a sock it got blocked without explanation, as well as the original account, and as I tried to edit via IP to protest the block, my IP got blocked for "block evasion". Is this fair?
