Black Sabbath (song)

"Black Sabbath" is a song by the English heavy metal band Black Sabbath, written in 1969 and released on their eponymous debut album in 1970. In the same year, the song appeared as an A-side on a four-track 12-inch single, with "The Wizard" also on the A-side and "Evil Woman" and "Sleeping Village" on the B-side, on the Philips Records label Vertigo. In Japan and the Philippines, a 7-inch single on the Philips label was released with "Evil Woman, Don't Play Your Games with Me" on the A-side and "Black Sabbath" on the B-side.

History
According to the band, the song was inspired by an experience that Geezer Butler had in the days of Earth. Butler, obsessed with the occult at the time, painted his apartment matte black and placed several inverted crucifixes and pictures of Satan on the walls. Ozzy Osbourne gave Butler a black occult book, written in Latin and decorated with numerous pictures of Satan. Butler read the book and then placed it on a shelf beside his bed before going to sleep. When he woke up, he claims he saw a large black figure standing at the end of his bed, staring at him. The figure vanished and Butler ran to the shelf where he had placed the book earlier, but the book was gone. Butler related this story to Osbourne, who then wrote the lyrics to the song based on Butler's experience. The song starts with the lyrics:

A version of this song from Black Sabbath's first demo exists on the Ozzy Osbourne compilation album The Ozzman Cometh. The song has an extra verse with additional vocals before the bridge. It's one of the band's most frequently performed tracks, being featured on every single tour of their career.

Harmony
According to AllMusic's Steve Huey, in the song Black Sabbath extracted the so-called "blue note" from the standard pentatonic blues scale and developed a heavy metal riff. The main riff is a G5 power chord followed by an octave into a tritone away from the chord's root. The riff is fairly simple, highlighting the dissonant and dark sound of the tritone against a stagnant harmonic rhythm. This particular interval, the tritone, is often known as the diabolus in musica, for it has musical qualities which are often used to suggest Satanic connotations in Western music. The song "Black Sabbath" was one of the earliest examples in heavy metal to make use of this interval, and since then, the genre has made extensive use of diabolus in musica.

The riff was created when bassist Geezer Butler began playing a fragment of "Mars" from Gustav Holst's The Planets suite. Inspired, guitarist Tony Iommi returned the next day with the famously dark tritone.

The main riff of "Black Sabbath" is one of the most famous examples of harmonic progressions with the tritone G-C♯:

Reception
"Black Sabbath" was ranked the second-best Black Sabbath song by Rock - Das Gesamtwerk der größten Rock-Acts im Check. It was ranked the best song in Black Sabbath's Ozzy Osbourne-era discography by Loudwire. In 2020, Kerrang! ranked the song number one on their list of the 20 greatest Black Sabbath songs, and in 2021, Louder Sound ranked the song number three on their list of the 40 greatest Black Sabbath songs. In March 2023, "Black Sabbath" placed first on Rolling Stone 's "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Songs of All Time" list.

"Black Sabbath" was the final song played by Boston rock radio station WAAF on 22 February 2020, its final day of broadcasting. According to longtime WAAF host Mistress Carrie, the song was chosen because "the album came out weeks before we signed on the air, and Ozzy released a new album the day we signed off, and is the only artist to stay current for all 50 years of our history, and well... SATAN. If EMF was going to take our beloved signal, they were going to have to endure Satan first."

Music video
A music video was made for the song, as part of the band's 1970 performance on the German show Beat-Club. The video was filmed in a studio with a village on the foreground.

Cover versions
"Black Sabbath" has been covered by the following bands:
 * Flower Travellin' Band in 1970, on their album Anywhere.
 * Type O Negative in 1994, for the Black Sabbath tribute album Nativity in Black.
 * Vader in 1994, on their albums Sothis and Future of the Past.
 * Amber Asylum in 2000, on their album The Supernatural Parlour Collection.
 * Iced Earth in 2002, on their album Tribute to the Gods.
 * Van Helsing's Curse in 2004, on their album Oculus Infernum.
 * Gonga in 2014, with trip hop musician Beth Gibbons (under the track name "Black Sabbeth").
 * Sampled by Ice-T in the song "Midnight" from the 1991 album O.G. Original Gangster.

Contract J.A.C.K.

Contract J.A.C.K. is a 2003 first-person shooter video game and the prequel to No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way. It was developed by Monolith Productions and published by Vivendi Universal Games and its subsidiary Sierra Entertainment. J.A.C.K. ("Just Another Contract Killer") is set in the time frame between the events of the original The Operative: No One Lives Forever and its sequel, No One Lives Forever 2.

Story
The game follows John Jack, a professional killer recruited by H.A.R.M., a criminal organization central to the No One Lives Forever series. Contract J.A.C.K. is set between No One Lives Forever and No One Lives Forever 2. The game does not involve UNITY, the organization for which Cate Archer works and that opposed H.A.R.M. in the other two games. Rather, J.A.C.K. pits H.A.R.M. against a rival criminal organization, Danger Danger.

After a night of heavy drinking, Jack is apprehended by thugs, who are ordered to kill him. Before they can, he breaks free from the ropes that tied him to a chair and slaughters the thugs that swarm the building. Before he can leave, he receives a phone call from Dimitrij Volkov, H.A.R.M.'s Director of Executive Action. Volkov tells Jack to report to a job interview at the Roman ruins on Malta. The interview consists of Jack mowing down waves of H.A.R.M. troopers as Volkov taunts them over a loudspeaker. In the end, Jack is hired by H.A.R.M.

For his first assignment, Jack must infiltrate a Czechoslovakian military base to figure out why Danger Danger is interested in it. Upon delving deeper into the base, Jack becomes aware that the facility is a secret rocket launch site. Danger Danger is trying to use a Czech rocket to recover Dr. Harij, a H.A.R.M. scientist stranded on the Moon after the destruction of H.A.R.M.'s space station in No One Lives Forever. Although Danger Danger is able to launch a rocket full of their men, Jack commandeers a second rocket and heads to the Moon after them.

On the Moon, Jack must fight through Danger Danger goons to get to Dr. Harij. Danger Danger reaches the scientist first, and they begin destroying the lunar base to prevent Jack from escaping. Jack reaches Danger Danger's rocket seconds before it lifts-off. The effects of the rocket's propulsion and the base's explosion send Jack floating through space on a collision course with the Sun. Il Pazzo (Italian for "The Crazy One"), leader of Danger Danger, begins dispatching men to kill Jack, but he fails, and Jack floats to the other rocket, which had been floating among the debris of the base.

Jack crashes his rocket into the Italian countryside of Tuscany. Il Pazzo is nearby with Dr. Harij, and he flees on a gondola. Jack steals a machine gun-equipped Vespa and pursues them while crossing the city of Florence. After killing hordes of Il Pazzo's men, Jack arrives at a castle where Il Pazzo is holed up with Dr. Harij. Using cannons positioned around the building, Jack kills the defenders. A long-distance battle then ensues between Jack and Il Pazzo. Jack wins, but is not able to kill Il Pazzo completely. After rescuing Dr. Harij, Jack is shot by Volkov and left to die. The game ends with Jack rising up and limping toward Volkov's skis. It is believed that the ending implied why Volkov is confined in a wheelchair and covered in a full-body plaster cast in No One Lives Forever 2.

Game engine
Contract J.A.C.K. uses the same Lithtech Jupiter engine as used in the base release of No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way; however, none of the upgrade paths that are available to boost abilities in the latter are present in J.A.C.K.

Reception
The game received mixed reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.

Colorado State Highway 1

Colorado State Highway 1 (SH 1) is a 10.053 mi state highway in Larimer County, Colorado, United States, that runs from U.S. Route 287 (US 287) / Colorado State Highway 14 (SH 14), just north of the city line of Fort Collins, northeast to Interstate 25 (I-25) / U.S. Route 87 (US 87) in Wellington.

Route description
The road passes through an area of the Colorado Piedmont between Fort Collins and Wellington. It furnishes the principal road connection between those two communities and passes through a primarily suburban region north of Fort Collins, along the east side of Terry Lake, where it becomes Terry Lake Drive. Heading northward, it passes south of Waverly and the WWV radio towers, both visible from the road. In Wellington, it becomes Cleveland Avenue, a readily used route in that town. Although the area running aside the road was traditionally agricultural, it has been the site of rapid housing growth in recent years, particularly near Wellington.

History
The route was numbered in 1923. During that time, it followed US 85 from New Mexico to I-25, continuing north along US 85 to Denver, and began as various roads throughout the city that merged. It then paralleled the current route of US 287 towards Fort Collins, then along its current alignment from Fort Collins to Wellington. From Wellington, it followed various roads back to the current I-25, where it continued north and terminated at the Wyoming border. By 1938, the entire route was paved as part of a major project. In 1954, a section north of Fort Collins was removed, leaving only the portion south of that point. In 1957, the portion north of Fort Collins was returned to the route. However, the entire portion from Fort Collins to the New Mexico border was closed in 1968. Since then, the routing has not significantly changed.

Ulema
Adam, as you've probably figured out, Zereshk is extremely unhappy with me, and stopped any work on the Shi'a article because he could not have a free hand. There was one thing I thought that he was uniquely fitted to write, and that one thing is still missing: an account of the Shi'a clergy, the various ranks, how they are attained, how the scholars are supported, etc. For us non-Shi'a, the difference between an Ayatollah and a Grand Ayatollah is mysterious. Is the ulema or clergy something you could explain? Zora 00:31, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Asalaamu 'alaykum Zora. I hope you are able to read this. I have never actually directly written to another member as yet, so I hope this is the right place to type. It would be good to include a page about Shi'a clergy and the details that you mentioned. However, it will take me time to even begin because I am very busy. But I will definitely try to gather what I can. By the way, where are you from and what does UTC mean? User:Adamcaliph 01:37 GMT, 6 Jun 2005.

Hullo Adam. Usually people reply to messages on the other user's talk page. You'd click on my name and then go to the talk page. I think it's a dumb and confusing system myself -- it's nice to have everything together, so you can see all the replies. Anyway, I am an older woman with a daughter in college; I live in Honolulu, Hawai'i. I grew up on the U.S. mainland, in Oregon. I spose the best description for me would be counter-cultural intellectual. I am a Buddhist, even though I was raised as a Christian. I've been reading about Islam ever since 9/11. My response to things is to read, so when I wanted to figure out why those strange people would want to kill me, I went to books. I figure the best way to understand Islam is to try to understand what's TRUE about it. In spite of all the evil done in its name, there has to be something true at the heart. All this makes me sound kind and nice, but Zereshk will tell you that I am tigress in defence of what I see as good prose and my understanding of NPOV. Be warned . Zora 03:14, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * P.S. UTC means Universal Time Code, and it's the new, PC name for GMT, Greenwich Mean Time. Greenwich time implied "Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves". UTC just means "we're sticking with this convention because we've used it for so long and 00:00 just happens to be midnight at Greenwich, U.K."

Hello Zora. Sorry; I found your "User" page but could not find your "User Talk" page. It's sometimes difficult to establish the scope of political correctness. I personally try not to fall into the habit of using "A.D." because I accept Jesus as God's prophet, not as my "Lord". Unfortunately, in England, political correctness has become an embarassing nuisance where the Christmas break may eventually be referred to as the "Festive" season. Ironically, it seems that no religious group in England has objected to the label of "Christmas". Do we refrain from using the term "North" Pole merely because it may be inferred that the centre of human civilisation is midway between the two ice caps and that such usage implies a sense of antropocentricty? However, I too am very sensitive to definitions; and it is the lack of proper defintions that has caused the most amount of damage to people's perceptions of Islam. I commend you for referring to authentic books before resorting to chain-mails and poorly argued Internet debates. Nice to meet you. [[User:Adamcaliph 03:14, 9 June 2005 (GMT).

Abu Bakr
I dunno if you'd be interested, but we have a "situation" at Abu Bakr, with one editor, AladdinSE, insisting that the Sunni version of events is the one to be adopted. He is prepared to revert endlessly to maintain his control of the article. Striver is complicating matters by providing his own Shi'a-centric version. I'm trying to deal with a centuries-old religious schism in an NPOV fashion. Can you help us to work towards an NPOV version? Zora 22:36, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Salam!
I would like to invite you to join this guild:

Succession to Muhammad, Abu-Lu'lu'ah
Adam, I've rewritten those two articles. I'd like your opinion. You could especially help with the Abu Lu'lu'ah article, because I have a feeling that there's a Shi'a POV in this matter that's not represented, and I can't find anything on the web about it. Zora 00:29, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

"His"
I see you have added "His birth and family life" when it was "Birth and family life". That's actually worsening the style. If you read featured article biographies they don't use the pronoun since it's implied. Norman Borlaug, John Dee, William N. Page, Robert A. Heinlein, William Butler Yeats are just some featured pages that back me up. You have also created some really small sections that probably shouldn't have been broken up, not to mention a tendency to add "persecution" and other things trying to hammer in a certain POV. Persecution will be noticed for what it is in NPOV writing, making a header is deciding for the reader instead of presenting to the reader... which is not what we should be doing. I think this fixes it up some. I wasn't sure what to put for knowledge. It's too abstract, if he was a fiqah you might want to put "Career as fiqah" gren グレン 12:18, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Sounds good, his just is cluttery. As for persecution... well, it's a broad persecution of the people I believe (I haven't really read it).  This is talking about a period of his life as persecution... which, the whole period I don't think should be classified as such?  It was the period in Baghdad, or... it wasn't all persecution and there are mixed accounts.  I think it's something that should be about a part of life in the header and then talk about the conditions of the Imams in the text.  I don't really disagree that they were persecuted, from what I know they were, the other Muslims often sucked a lot in regards to treating Shia (and still do in Saudi Arabia and all).  However, I think putting that as the header is not proper since it's not an overarching non-arguable thing like life under the Ummayad, or life in Baghdad.  It's an arguable and non-simplistic point and headers should be simplistic truths.  Does that seem to make sense? gren グレン 20:08, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Fez (That '70s Show)

Fez is a fictional character and one of the male leads on the Fox Network's That '70s Show, also appearing in a recurring guest role in the Netflix sequel That '90s Show portrayed by Wilmer Valderrama. He was the foreign exchange student in a group of six local teenagers.

Origins
Fez was born on August 4, 1960. His real name is deemed unpronounceable by his friends, so they call him "Fez" (a homophone of "FES", an acronym for foreign exchange student). The series' official web site explains the spelling "Fez", as opposed to "Fes", as "poetic license".

Fez's country of origin is one of the longest running gags on the show.

Later life
In That '90s Show, Fez and Jackie broke up when she cheated by returning to Kelso (including having their son Jay), after which Fez became a successful businessman by opening a beauty salon called "Chez Fez". He is now dating the Formans' next door neighbor Sherri, mother of Gwen and Nate, all while maintaining a close friendship with the Forman family.

Talaria

The Talaria of Mercury (tālāria) or The Winged Sandals of Hermes (πτηνοπέδῑλος, ptēnopédilos or πτερόεντα πέδιλα, pteróenta pédila) are winged sandals, a symbol of the Greek messenger god Hermes (Roman equivalent Mercury). They were said to be made by the god Hephaestus of imperishable gold and they flew the god as swift as any bird.

Etymology
The Latin noun tālāria, neuter plural of tālāris signifies "of the ankle". It is not quite certain how the Romans arrived at the meaning of "winged sandals" from this, possibly that the wings were attached at the ankles, or the sandals were tied around the ankles.

Attestations
In ancient Greek literature, the sandals of Hermes are first of all mentioned by Homer (ἀμβρόσια χρύσεια; ambrósia khrýseia, "immortal/divine and of gold"), though not described as "winged".

The description of the sandals being winged first appear in the poem Shield of Heracles (c. 600 – 550 BC), which speaks of πτερόεντα πέδιλα (pteróenta pédila), literally "winged sandals". The Homeric hymn to Hermes from a somewhat later date (520 BC) does not explicitly state the sandals were winged, though they allowed him to leave no footprints while committing his theft of Apollo's cattle.

According to one estimation, it was around 5th century BC when the winged sandals came to be regarded as common (though not indispensable) accoutrements of the god Hermes. One later instance which refers to the sandals being winged is the Orphic Hymns XXVIII to Hermes (3rd century BC to 2nd century AD).

Perseus wears Hermes' sandals to help him slay Medusa. According to Aeschylus, Hermes gives them to him directly. In a better-attested version, Perseus must retrieve them from the Graeae, along with the cap of invisibility and the kibisis (sack).

Latin sources
The term talaria has been employed by Ovid in the 1st century, and prior to him, in perhaps eight instances by various Latin authors (Cicero, Virgil, etc.). The term is usually construed as "winged sandals", and applied almost exclusively to the footwear worn by the god Hermes/Mercury or the hero Perseus.

Medieval interpretation
In the case of the talaria worn by the swift runner Atalanta (Ovid, Metamorphoses X.591) some translators in the past steered away from recognizing them as footwear, and chose to regard them as "long robes, reaching to the ankle", starting with Planudes in the 14th century. This interpretation was also endorsed in the 17th century by Nicolaas Heinsius's gloss, and persisted in the 19th century with Lewis and Short's dictionary entry for this particular passage. But there are "insuperable" reasons against this "robes" interpretation, for Ovid clearly states in the foregoing passages that Atalanta had disrobed to engage in the foot-race.

Also in the medieval Irish versions of the Aeneid (Imtheachta Aeniasa) and the Destruction of Troy (Togail Troí), Mercury wears a "bird covering" or "feather mantle" (encennach, énchendach), which clearly derives from Mercury's talaria, such as described by Virgil.

Sometimes, it has been interpreted that Hermes feet are winged, rather that the wings being part of his sandals.

In popular culture
In Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson & the Olympians series, the talaria is a pair of sneakers worn by Grover Underwood.

In God of War III, Kratos forcibly takes the Boots of Hermes off the Messenger God's feet by cutting his legs off.

In Terraria, the player can acquire the item Hermes' Boots, which increase the players movement speed.

The American company Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company has a logo of the winged sandals of Mercury, Hermes’ Roman form.

The Brazilian football (soccer) team Paysandu Sport Club have a talarium in the logo.

The Pegasus Boots from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening are based on the talaria.

207th Street station

The 207th Street station is a local station on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of 207th Street and 10th Avenue in the Inwood neighborhood of Manhattan, it is served by the 1 train at all times.

Built by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT), the station opened on April 1, 1907, as part of the first subway. The northbound platform was lengthened in 1910 while the southbound platform was lengthened in 1948.

History
This station was completed in 1906, but since it was in a sparsely populated location, it did not open until April 1, 1907.

To address overcrowding, in 1909, the New York Public Service Commission proposed lengthening the platforms at stations along the original IRT subway. As part of a modification to the IRT's construction contracts made on January 18, 1910, the company was to lengthen station platforms to accommodate ten-car express and six-car local trains. In addition to $1.5 million (equivalent to $ million in ) spent on platform lengthening, $500,000 (equivalent to $ million in ) was spent on building additional entrances and exits. It was anticipated that these improvements would increase capacity by 25 percent. The northbound platform at the 207th Street station was extended 100 ft to the north. The southbound platform was not lengthened. Six-car local trains began operating in October 1910, and ten-car express trains began running on the West Side Line on January 24, 1911. Subsequently, the station could accommodate six-car local trains, but ten-car trains could not open some of their doors.

A subway crash occurred at the station in 1916, in which one train telescoped into another train. One motorman was badly injured, and twelve of the more than 200 passengers on the trains suffered minor injuries.

The city government took over the IRT's operations on June 12, 1940. Platforms at IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line stations between 103rd Street and 238th Street, including those at 207th Street, were lengthened to 514 ft between 1946 and 1948, allowing full ten-car express trains to stop at these stations. A contract for the platform extensions at 207th Street and five other stations on the line was awarded to the Rao Electrical Equipment Company and the Kaplan Electric Company in June 1946. The platform extensions at these stations were opened in stages. On July 9, 1948, the platform extensions at stations between 207th Street and 238th Street were opened for use at the cost of $423,000. At the same time, the IRT routes were given numbered designations with the introduction of "R-type" rolling stock, which contained rollsigns with numbered designations for each service. The route to 242nd Street became known as the 1.

From January 5 to December 20, 2019, a free out-of-system transfer was provided from this station to Inwood–207th Street to accommodate the temporary closure of the IRT platforms at 168th Street, where a free transfer was normally provided. A similar transfer was also provided one station north at 215th Street.

Station layout
This elevated station has two side platforms and three tracks, with the center track not used in revenue service. The station is served by the 1 at all times and is between 215th Street to the north and Dyckman Street to the south. Both platforms have beige windscreens and dark canopies (both of which are currently being replaced as part of a renovation project) in the center, and black steel waist-high fences at either end. The station name plates are in the standard black with white lettering.

North of this station, there are two switches and a ramp to allow access from each of the three tracks to the 207th Street Yard, which runs along the east side of the line.

The 1991 artwork here is called Elevated Nature I-IV by Wopo Holup. It consists of two concrete panels with wooden frames on the southbound platform's station house. Each panel consists of eight squares depicting tree limbs. Similar artwork is also located at four other stations on this line.

Exits
Both platforms have one wooden adjacent station house in the center. However, only the southbound one is used for passenger service. Doors from the platform lead to a small waiting area, where a turnstile bank provides entrance/exit from the station. Outside the fare control area, there is a token booth, one staircase going down to the southwest corner of 207th Street and Tenth Avenue, and a passageway leading to a staircase that goes down to the northwest corner.

The station house on the northbound platform is used for employees only. One exit-only turnstile at platform level leads to a staircase that goes down to the northeast corner of 207th Street and Tenth Avenue, while a High Entry/Exit Turnstile, also at platform level, leads to a staircase going down to the southeast corner.

Talk:Montréal–Trudeau International Airport

Link to 2010 Pax
The link to show the 2010 pax does not work anymore. I don't know how to fix it?

Buenos Aires and Santiago
Hi, I have removed them from the Int'l airlines and destinations because the information shown is only meant to show NON-STOP service by the airlines. Air Canada's service to these cities are via Toronto-Pearson.

....False! Under the wikipedia airport guides, direct can include airport with stops. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.49.54.154 (talk) 21:47, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Controvercy
I work at YUL and there is and has been free wifi for quite some time. I never heard about there being pay wifi. Also there are many outlets still freely avaible.

Naming
No idea why this page name had the forward slash in it. Per Aéroports de Montréal, the official name of the airport is "Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Aiport, so I moved it to that page and fixed the double (triple, actually) redirect at YUL. Basil Fawlty 02:24, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I disagree with the renaming. Nav Canada and Transport Canada use the slash consistently for Trudeau and Mirabel, as well as other airports.  We should stick with the official published names and try to be consistent ourselves (i.e. Ottawa/Macdonald-Cartier International Airport).  I'll wait for further discussion to see if we can reach a consensus on restoring the earlier name.  David 02:39, 2005 Jun 3 (UTC)
 * Hmm, general Wikipedia policy seems to be put at the more common name, even if it not technically the official name. That is why is the Czech Republic, and not Czechia. The WikiProject airports policy clashes slightly with this. I am undecided as to which way we should jump. Burgundavia (✈ take a flight?) 09:02, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)

 * The reason that we use "the Czech Republic" in the English version of Wikipedia is that it's the English name of the country. Likewise, we use "Moscow" instead of "Moskva", "The French Revolution" instead of "La révolution française", and so on.
 * If we used the most common names for airports, our articles would have titles like "Pearson", "Heathrow", "JFK", "LAX" etc. (similarly, the article for Toronto would probably have the title "T.O", and the article for Los Angeles would definitely be called "L.A."). Most airport web sites are all over the place -- the full name is usually too cumbersome, so they use some kind of abbreviated form, and often several different abbreviated forms. I think that we need to treat airports the same way we treat other geographical features, and use the officially-registered name where available (i.e. Greater Sudbury). David 14:00, 2005 Jun 4 (UTC)Ţ
 * I agree entirely with this. Common names are simply too variable to be useful.  In addition, the official name is definitely written with a dash, see this announcement from Trasnport Canada itself.  The consensus on WikiProject:Airports seems to be that we should go with the airport authority (as we go with official names for everything else), so I don't think the slash is correct here.  Basil Fawlty 17:18, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure that either Transport Canada or the airport authorities are all that careful about punctuation -- it might come down to the whims of the person typing. We'll want to standardize sooner or later, to avoid inconsistencies.  Where the city name is not part of the core airport name (i.e. "Lester B. Pearson International Airport"), the Canada Flight Supplement (CFS), which is the official book of airport information, always uses a slash: "Toronto/Lester B. Pearson International Airport", "Ottawa/Macdonald-Cartier International Airport", "Moncton/McEwan Airport", etc.  When the core name does begin with the muncipality, there is no slash: "Vancouver International Airport", "Burlington Airpark", etc.  We could use a dash or a slash, in Canadian airport names, but I don't think we should mix the two.
 * The Canada Air Pilot (instrument procedures) also use the slash. The U.S. Airport/Facility Directory (equivalent of CFS) uses headings and subheadings, so it's no help, but the U.S. Terminal Procedures (instrument procedures) use the slash: "Boston/General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport", etc.  It looks like the slash is the closest we have to a preferred aviation usage; it's also what all the Montreal-area airports use.

Do somebody knows if it's true that TAROM Romanian is flying to Montreal because it think they already stopped this route?

Aircraft movements 2004
The NavCan publication TP577 shows 205,441 not 235,441 for 2004 and is available here Transport Canada Aircraft Movements, 2004
 * Forgot to sign yesterday. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 18:46, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Can we get some comments on the number of aircraft movements for Trudeau for 2004. My claim is that the correct number is 205,441 based on the Transport Canada Aircraft Movements, 2004.

User:Neorge claims based on Aéroports de Montréal 2004 that the correct number is 235,209. The movements are at the bottom of the page.

I feel that based on Aéroports de Montréal statement that they operate both Trudeau and Mirabel and that the 235,209 number is the total movements are for both airports added together.

Please see further comments on our talk pages User talk:Neorge and User talk:CambridgeBayWeather.

 * The problem with posting statistics is that you need a sound source. Local companies may not be the most reliable especially if they don't clearly state what their data covers.  National Government sources are probably better because they should be using the same measurements for all airports that they report on.  International agencies should also be OK since they too are comparing airports on a common footing.  Having two competing sets of numbers in the article is probably not the best solution.

Tarom Romanian Airlines

I had thought that the stats provided by Aéroports de Montréal were for both Trudeau and Mirabel so I emailed them and this is what I got back (removed personal info):

They are for Montréal-Trudeau (YUL) and Montréal-Mirabel (YMX).

LH
Added Lufthansa destination to Frankfurt - I'm on the flight tomorrow. Cheers, Hanso 5 Jul 2006
 * Lufthansa only codeshares on Air Canada. LH doesn't fly their own metal. They only do so to Munich. Elektrik Blue 82 19:25, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

106th
Again, some anonymous editor has put the "fact" that YUL is the 106th busiest airport in the world. Being 1st, 2nd, 3rd, is ok, and is thus noteworthy. However, is being 106th noteworthy as well? This is more for the trivia buffs and not for the encyclopedia. Elektrik Blue 82 17:58, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

ADDRESS
WTH IS THE ADDRESS OF THIS AIRPORT? HOW FAR IS IT FROM DOWNTOWN??U? AND WHY THE HELL IS IT CALLED YUL?? WHAT IS CYUL???!!!!!!1
 * The Canada Flight Supplement say that it's "adjacent southwest" which I assume means from Dorval. YUL is the IATA airport code and CYUL the ICAO airport code. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 17:29, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

 * This still doesn't answer the question "How the heck did IATA manage to come up with such a codename?" For heck's sake, only the L is shared between Montreal and YUL... And for Pierre Elliott Trudeau... PET is still free, so is MPT. What could YUL possibly stand for? Besides Yul Brynner, that is. :-D Btw, even a hint of where else could i ask this would be highly appreciated. -- Jokes Free4Me 17:41, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Your assuming that there is a logical reason for the code and that may not be true. It was CYUL/YUL before 2004 when the airport was renamed from Dorval to Trudeau in 2004. Take a look at Kugluktuk Airport which is CYCO/YCO because it used to be "Coppermine Airport" or Ulukhaktok/Holman Airport which is CYHI/YHI based on the misconception that it was "Holman Island Airport". On the other hand look at Gjoa Haven Airport which is CYHK/YHK, Edmonton City Centre (Blatchford Field) Airport CYXD/YXD orMontréal-Mirabel International Airport CYMX/YMX and there are probably many more. There's not much logical about those last three. London Heathrow Airport and London Gatwick Airport are interesting in that the IATA codes follow on from the name, LHR & LGW but the ICAO codes are EGLL & EGKK. The best place to ask would be to contact IATA directly and see what they say. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 22:37, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I have no idea how authoritative this is, but consider this explanation from https://www.air-port-codes.com/airport-info/YUL/ :
 * "With a few exceptions, airport codes starting with ‘Y’ designate Canadian airports. The ‘UL’ isn't as clear, but may be due to a nearby radio beacon which has continuously broadcast those letters since before the airport’s establishment in 1941." 2603:3024:182F:D100:4871:A3FB:1D28:80C9 (talk) 00:20, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

Edits
Rewrote the first section so as to be able to remove the fact tag. I removed the sentence "The airport completed a CAD$716 million expansion plan that enables the terminal to have a capacity of 20 million passengers per year." as it's not clear when that was and it's covered later on. I removed the external link after "...contains the 2nd largest duty free shop in North America" as it only discussed Toronto so it now needs a citation. I removed a link to a forum that was being used to reference a WestJet destination. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 05:47, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

WestJet flights
The flights listed under the International concourse are not correct. They are not on the route map and you cannot book a flight to any of these locations. The source is clearly wrong. The flights may be operated by WestJet but are probably charters by another airline. See http://c3dsp.westjet.com/guest/destinations/ourDestinations.jsp. Thankyoubaby (talk) 18:42, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

destination deletions
Since User:alexcaban reverted a couple of my deletions I'll bring them here. The Aeroméxico flights all stop in Atlanta according to Aeroméxico's flight schedule, the reference cited says nothing about them being non-stop. According to the airport site and Air Canada  there is no non-stop flight to Santiago, Chile. The WestJet international destinations are an obvious error as the previous poster mentioned. Neither destination is served by WestJet at all. The new flight to Buenos Aires is also on neither the airport site nor on Air Canada's site.Kmusser (talk) 03:12, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Air Canada YUL-EZE
There is indeed a direct flight from Montreal and Buenos Aires but the flight is route via YYZ. However, there is no plane change in Toronto so therefore it can be listed. Source: http://res.aircanada.com/TimeTableServlet/retrieveTimeTableRequest?org=YUL&dest=EZE&language=english&year=2009&month=02&day=27. Cashier freak (talk) 21:56, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Should probably rename the section non-stop and direct flights rather than just non-stop then, that's the only direct flight (as opposed to non-stop) listed. Kmusser (talk) 22:28, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm so damm tired of having to explain over and over that there are flights between YUL and EZE and santiago via toronto but there is no plane change and operates under the same flight number!!!! stop removing it from the list of destinations. Alexcaban

A380
Article goes on about an Air France flight in 2007. Was it a paid Air France flight? No. Was the aircraft owned by Air France? No. Were the pilots Air France? No. So why is it an Air France flight? I think it should be deleted.-- Lester  10:27, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

-- Indeed, since Air France only took official delivery of their first A380 in 2009: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Airbus_A380_orders_and_deliveries As such, the airline may have scheduled a flight for that date but obviously can't have flown it. I think there may be confusion there on the way it was written but there was Air France crew onboard according to the press release marked in reference. The sentences should just be rewritten more clearly Maplefanta (talk) 19:07, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Kuwait Airways
Kuwait City on Kuwait Airways was added to the destinations list on July 6, 2009, with an effective date of October 18, but without any source. (See difference between versions: ). I don't see Montreal listed on Kuwait Airways' website, nor does it appear on QuickTrip.com for that date. I noticed that normally, unsourced destination additions werepromptly reverted but this one wasn't. In the meantime, I added a "fact" tag. AirOdyssey (Talk) 01:25, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I just looked on their website and found no flights between YUL and KWI after October 18. If there is no official press release from the airline or if it cannot booked on or after that date then it should remain removed. Charmedaddict (talk) 19:49, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Regina
There are no non-stop flights between Montreal and Regina. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.164.177.225 (talk) 21:24, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Non-stop is not a criterion for listing as a destination. See WP:AIRPORT-CONTENT. HkCaGu (talk) 05:14, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

''7.List non-stop and direct flights only. That means the flight number and the aircraft, starts at this airport and continues to one or more airports. Avoid using the description 'via' since that is more correctly listed as another destination. If passengers can not disembark at a stop on a direct flight, then do not list it as a destination or as 'via'. Direct flights are not always non-stop flights. ''

The same applies for YYZ-GVA/BRU. If they can be included, although the flight stops in YUL, then Iqualut and Regina count as a direct flight from YUL. Both have the same flight numbers, same aircraft and continue to destionation, and are listed on Air Canada's timetable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.49.54.154 (talk) 21:55, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Removal of concourse listing
Hello,

I propose to remove the listing of concourses for the airlines/destinations list. YUL is not an airport with multiple terminals and has 2 "concourses" in the same terminal, A for domestic and international flights (except USA) and C for flights to the United States (U.S. Customs pre-clearance). Thus, no matter which airline, a flight for Dallas will always leave from concourse C, while a flight for Toronto or Paris will always leave from concourse A. Therefore, it's completely useless to add the concourse listings as they are not airline-specific, but rather destination-specific.

Mikkalai
I have serious concern about the way Mikkalai is pretending to manage this VfD. It is one thing to nominate and argue for it's deletion. It's another entirely to go back three times to the article and mark it for speedy delete. Now he is also editing users votes, contrary to the VfD policy, claiming the opposite: "Do not strike out, remove or modify other people's votes or comments, even if you believe them to be in bad faith, unless they have been banned from editing the relevant pages"

This is my first run in with Mikkalai. Is he always like this on VfD? SchmuckyTheCat 17:51, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * It is a common practice to make typographical changes in VfD pages, for the ease of vote counting. But since you are apparently taking it as an insult, I will not insist on my version. mikka (t) 18:46, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * BTW, what you quoted is a guide, not a policy, so you cannot sue me, only slander. Relax. Usually I am not that bad. And i confessed several times that I like the site. I may even consider contributing there. Some wikipedia pages simply beg for a parody. mikka (t) 18:53, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * WHAT? Striking a users vote is not a typographical change! SchmuckyTheCat 19:09, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * OK. If you say so. cool down. don't shout. Mellow; say "Ommmm" mikka (t) 00:39, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Normal policies for VfD are:
 * If a vote is from a banned user (Iasson, for example), it may be struck out, or deleted entirely.
 * If a vote is from an anon and is unsigned, the edit may be signed using the template, or some other matter
 * If a vote is from a new user or suspected sockpuppet, that may be indicated by a comment after the vote.
 * In general, editing other people's votes (or other comments) is considered very bad behavior, and has been grounds for sanctions such as a temporary ban for vandalism.

Joe Don Looney

Joe Don Looney (October 10, 1942 – September 24, 1988) was an American football fullback and halfback who played professionally in the National Football League (NFL) for the New York Giants, Baltimore Colts, Detroit Lions, Washington Redskins, and the New Orleans Saints.

Early life
Looney was born in Fort Worth, Texas, the son of Don Looney, who played college football at TCU and then in the NFL for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1940 and the Philadelphia Eagles from 1941 to 1942. The younger Looney attended Admiral Farragut Academy in St. Petersburg, Florida and R. L. Paschal High School in Fort Worth.

College career
In his first semester at the University of Texas, Looney received four Fs and one D. Looney responded by dropping out and enrolling at Texas Christian University (TCU). He was eventually kicked out of that school and transferred to Cameron Junior College, where he played for Leroy Montgomery on the national champion 1961 Cameron Aggies football team. He set a punting record in the 1961 Junior Rose Bowl, as his team won the junior college national championship. He made All-American with the University of Oklahoma in 1962, leading them to the Big Eight Conference championship. He played in only three games in 1963. Head coach Bud Wilkinson kicked him off the team after Looney netted four yards in six carries in a game against Texas. Looney did not get along with Wilkinson, and it was also alleged he had punched assistant coach Johnny Tatum, though Tatum debunked that claim.

Professional career
Looney was selected in the first round with the 12th overall of the 1964 NFL Draft by the New York Giants. He was also selected in the sixth round of the 1964 AFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs, but chose to play in the NFL instead. He was with the Giants just 25 days before they traded him along with offensive lineman Lou Kirouac to the Baltimore Colts for wide receiver R. C. Owens and safety Andy Nelson during training camp on August 24, 1964. As a member of the Giants, Looney racked up a number of fines for violating team rules.

Looney had only 23 carries with Baltimore that season. In November, he got into an argument about politics with a couple, then later that night, broke into their apartment with a friend and attacked them. He received one year's probation and a fine.

The Colts traded Looney and an undisclosed draft pick to the Detroit Lions following on June 3, 1965, for linebacker Dennis Gaubatz. He put together one good season, racking up 114 carries for 356 yards and five touchdowns. While with Detroit, Looney was told by coach Harry Gilmer to carry in a play to the quarterback. Looney refused and told Gilmer, "If you want a messenger boy, call Western Union."

Detroit traded Looney to the Washington Redskins, where he had an uneventful tenure. He had 55 carries for 178 yards. The only highlight of his time with the Redskins came on a play in which he did not even have the ball. He was pass protecting for quarterback Sonny Jurgensen, and ended up leveling an onrushing pass rusher with a right hook to the jaw. When he tried to renegotiate his contract, he was let go.

In 1968, Looney was called up by the United States Army to go to Vietnam. He joined a lawsuit that claimed that a reserve unit could not be sent to fight in an undeclared war, but it was defeated.

When he returned to the United States, he signed on with the New Orleans Saints. He had three carries for -3 yards with the Saints that year, and retired after the season.

Looney was ranked as the most uncoachable player in NFL history by NFL Films president Steve Sabol. He would often intentionally run the wrong way on plays in practice in order to make things more challenging for himself. He once skipped several practices. When questioned about his absences, he responded by saying, "If practice makes perfect and perfection is impossible, why practice?"

After football
After his retirement from football he converted to Hinduism and joined the Siddha Yoga movement led by Swami Muktananda. Stan Trout, a fellow convert, alleged that Looney was one of Muktananda's "enforcers" who intimidated people into obeying him.

Looney pled guilty to illegal possession of a firearm in federal court on January 7, 1974. He was sentenced to three years' probation. On February 5, 1988, he received a presidential pardon from Ronald Reagan. Looney died at the age of 45, on September 24, 1988, near Luna Vista north of Terlingua, Texas, when his motorcycle ran off a rural highway and crashed into a fence.

John Lennon Park

John Lennon Park or Parque John Lennon (formerly known as Parque Menocal) is a public park, located in the Vedado district in Havana, Cuba.

Overview
On one of the benches of the park, nearer the corner of streets 17th and 6th, there is a sculpture of the former Beatles member John Lennon, sculpted by Cuban artist José Villa Soberón, seated on the bench's right end. On a marble tile at the foot of the bench there is an inscription reading: "Dirás que soy un soñador pero no soy el único" John Lennon, which is a Spanish translation of the English lyrics, "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one," from the song "Imagine".

The sculpture of Lennon is currently not wearing his signature round-lens glasses, which have been stolen, or vandalized, several times. However, during the day, a security guard can be found sitting next to the bench, and he will place glasses on the statue if there is a request.

The statue was unveiled on 8 December 2000, the 20th anniversary of Lennon's murder. One year later, Cuban author Ernesto Juan Castellanos wrote a book about the statue, John Lennon en La Habana with a little help from my friends, and about the ban that John Lennon and The Beatles suffered in Cuba during the 1960s and 1970s.

Colorado State Highway 2

State Highway 2 (SH 2) is a state highway of the U.S. state of Colorado. It runs for approximately 20 mi north–south entirely within the urbanized environment of the Denver Metropolitan Area. It is one of the major north–south thoroughfares of east Denver, where it is known as Colorado Boulevard.

Route description
On its southern end, it begins at U.S. Route 285 (US 285) in Cherry Hills Village, just south of the Denver city limits in Arapahoe County. It goes north through Denver, intersecting Interstate 25 (I-25) and US 87 at exit 204. It intersects SH 83 near Cherry Creek and then US 40, US 287, and Interstate 70 Business (also known as Colfax Avenue) east of downtown Denver. It then passes along the east side of Denver City Park, before intersecting I-70 at exit 276. It then merges with US 6 and US 85 through Commerce City, until it branches off from US 6 and US 85 to the northeast, passing along the northwest boundary of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge. It terminates at its northern end at I-76 and US 6 at exit 15 on the south edge of Brighton.

History
The route was established in the 1920s beginning on the Utah border at US 40. It then followed US 40 all the way to Denver, where it followed Colfax Avenue through Denver. It then followed various streets northeast along US 85 north to Greeley, where it turned abruptly eastward along US 34 to US 6, where it continued to Sterling and finally along US 138 to the Nebraska border. By 1946, the route was rerouted in an area northeast of Denver. It was then changed in 1950 so it followed Colfax Avenue east through Denver. The route was rerouted in 1968 from US 285 to I-80S (now I-76). The now-deleted portion along Quebec Street was changed in 1971, and the route was finally set to its current routing in 1998.

Pac-Attack

Pac-Attack (パックアタック), also known as Pac-Panic, (パックパニック) is a 1993 falling-tile puzzle video game developed and published by Namco for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis. Versions for the Game Boy, Game Gear and Philips CD-i were also released. The player is tasked with clearing out blocks and ghosts without them stacking to the top of the playfield — blocks can be cleared by matching them in horizontal rows, while ghosts can be cleared by placing down a Pac-Man piece that can eat them. It is the first game in the Pac-Man series to be released exclusively for home platforms.

Pac-Attack is an adaptation of the 1992 game Cosmo Gang the Puzzle, which was released for arcades worldwide and the Super Famicom in Japan. Music was composed by Hiromi Shibano with cover art designed by Greg Martin. To promote the game's release, a contest was held in GameFan magazine that awarded cash prizes to players who submitted their highest scores. Critical reception for the game was mixed: while some disliked its lack of replay value and inferiority to other games such as Tetris and Columns, others praised it for its addictiveness and clever usage of the traditional Pac-Man gameplay. It has been ported to several systems and included in a number of Pac-Man and Namco compilations for multiple platforms. A reskin of Pac-Attack was created for the Nintendo DSi's DSiWare download service titled Korogashi Puzzle Katamari Damacy, based on the Katamari series.

Gameplay

Pac-Attack is a falling tile puzzle game, often being compared to games such as Tetris and Columns. The player drops down formations of blocks and ghosts onto a vertical-oriented playfield, the objective being to score as many points possible before the pieces reach the top of the screen. Blocks can be cleared by matching them in horizontal rows that touch both ends of the playfield; however, ghosts can only be cleared by placing down a Pac-Man piece, which will eat any ghosts in his path. The direction that Pac-Man is facing will show which direction he will move — if he gets stuck in a spot with no ghosts left, Pac-Man disappears. Eating ghosts will cause a “fairy meter”, located at the left of the screen, to fill up — once the meter is full, a fairy piece will appear that clears any and all ghosts below it, which can be used to cause chain reactions.

Alongside a standard single-player mode, a multiplayer mode is also included that pits two players against each other, the objective being to clear as many pieces possible while also causing additional pieces to stack up on the opponent's side. Clearing out blocks or ghosts will cause additional pieces to fall on the other player's side, and once the blocks in a player's side stack to the top, the other is deemed the winner. The game also features a Puzzle Mode, where the player is to clear out each ghost in a pre-set level in as few moves as possible. This mode spans 100 levels, and completing one will give the player a password that can be used to start at that stage again.

Development and release
Pac-Attack was released for both the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis in North America and Europe on October 10, 1993. Developed by Namco Hometek, the North American console division of Namco America, it is an adaptation of the 1992 arcade game Cosmo Gang the Puzzle, released for arcades worldwide and the Super Famicom in Japan. The soundtrack was composed by Hiromi Shibano, while the cover art was designed by Greg Martin. To help promote the game's release, Namco hosted a contest in GameFan magazine where players could submit their scores to win prizes, the grand prize being a $500 gift certificate. Some European and Japanese releases were titled Pac-Panic.

Versions of Pac-Attack were released for the Game Boy and Game Gear in 1994, followed by a European-exclusive Philips CD-i conversion in 1995. The CD-i conversion features completely remade artwork. In 1998, the Genesis version was released for the PlayStation as part of the Japan-only compilation Namco Anthology 2, alongside a remake featuring fully redone graphics and music. A Game Boy Color conversion was bundled with the original Pac-Man in 1999, titled Pac-Man: Special Color Edition. The Genesis version is also included as an unlockable in the 2001 PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube compilation Namco Museum, alongside the arcade game Pac-Mania, and in the Game Boy Advance game Pac-Man Collection the same year. The Namco Anthology 2 remake is an unlockable extra in Pac-Man World 2. An iOS “demake” of the game, featuring graphics from the original Pac-Man arcade game, was released in 2010, later delisted from the App Store in 2015. The Genesis version is also included in the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC collection Pac-Man Museum, released in 2014.

The SNES version of the game was included in the 2022 PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch video game compilation Pac-Man Museum+ as an unlockable title. Despite being an emulated version of the original game, the game was modified to replace the Ms. Pac-Man and Baby Pac-Man characters (who appear as cameos on the game's high score table), in favor of the Pac-Mom and Pac-Sis characters, created for the collection. While it hasn't been officially stated why the changes were made, it is assumed to be tied to Ms. Pac-Man's ongoing AtGames dispute.

A Katamari game based on the gameplay of Pac-Attack was released on the DSiWare service for the Nintendo DSi called Korogashi Puzzle Katamari Damacy (ころがしパズル塊魂) made by Namco Bandai Games in 2009. Hatsune Miku was licensed to perform the ending theme.

Reception
Pac-Attack was met with a divided response from critics; while some praised its simplistic gameplay, colorful graphics, and unique usage of Pac-Man characters, others criticized its lack of replay value and inferior quality to other puzzle games available, notably Dr. Mario and Tetris. The Sega Genesis version has a 70% rating on aggregator site GameRankings, while the SNES version has a 66%.

Electronic Gaming Monthly stated that the Game Gear version was "the type of puzzle game designed for Game Gear" for its addictiveness and simplistic gameplay, while GamePro found the Genesis version's multiplayer to be the game's main selling point. GameFan was the most positive towards it in their review, favorably comparing it to Tetris for its addictiveness, multiplayer modes and interesting premise for a puzzle game. Sega Visions magazine liked the Game Gear's portability and interesting usage of the Pac-Man character, saying that it was "sure to keep you busy." In a 1998 retrospective review, AllGame stated that the Game Gear version's simplistic-yet-addictive gameplay, multiplayer mode and clever usage of the Pac-Man gameplay made Pac-Attack one of the best titles for the system. Reviewing the iOS "demake", TouchArcade especially praised the game's Puzzle Mode for its unique gameplay, while also liking the game's "sharp" graphics and responsive controls.

''Total!! UK Magazine was particularly negative towards the game, calling it a "loser" for its similarity to games such as Tetris'' and "tedious" single-player mode. Japanese publication Famitsu stated that the game was not as refined as titles such as Tetris or Dr. Mario, criticizing its gameplay for being bland and not having much replay value. Reviewing the Wii Virtual Console release of the SNES port, Eurogamer stated that the game's lack of depth and simplistic gameplay made it a hard sell compared to other similar falling-tile games on the market. IGN had a similar response, saying that players should instead wait for other similar games to hit the Wii Shop Channel for its frustrating gameplay and lack of replay value. In a retrospective review, Hardcore Gaming 101 found the game inferior to other puzzle titles such as Dr. Mario and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, saying the multiplayer mode and gameplay became repetitive after a while, saying that the Puzzle Mode was the only part that had any replay value.

Wonka Bar

The Wonka Bar is a fictional chocolate bar, introduced as a key story point in the 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. Wonka Bars appear in each film adaptation of the novel: Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971); Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005); and Wonka (2023). The bar also appeared in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory the Musical (2013).

Wonka Bars were created by Quaker Oats (in conjunction with the producers of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory). The movie was funded largely by Quaker Oats for the intention of promoting the soon to be released Wonka Bars. Quaker Oats had a problem with the formulation of the bars and Wonka Bars had to be pulled from store shelves.

Other varieties of Wonka Bars were subsequently manufactured and sold in the real world, formerly by the Willy Wonka Candy Company, a division of Nestlé. These bars were discontinued in January 2010 due to poor sales.

In media
In Roald Dahl's novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and its film adaptations, a Wonka Bar is a chocolate bar and Willy Wonka's signature product, said to be the "perfect candy bar". The wrappers of the 1971 version are brown with an orange and pink border with a top hat over the "W" in Wonka, similar to the film's logo, and the chocolate bars resemble Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate bars. In the 2005 version, the wrappers feature different shades of a color (depending on the type of chocolate bar) and are also more detailed, including a more stylised "W" without a top hat, and the chocolate bars strikingly resemble king-sized Kit Kat chocolate bars, only slightly bigger. In the book, Grandpa Joe mentions that Mr. Wonka had invented over two hundred kinds of Wonka bars (though the actual number available varies, with four flavours in the 2005 film).

Product
The consumer product Wonka Bar was a chocolate bar inspired by the novel and the films Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

The Quaker Oats Company, which financed the 1971 film with US$3 million, originally created a chocolate bar in time to publicize the 1971 film. In the documentary Pure Imagination, producer David L. Wolper claims the bar was released to stores, but quickly recalled due to a production problem.

Nestlé Wonka Bars
Manufactured by Nestlé and sold under their Willy Wonka Candy Company brand, Wonka Bars sold in the United States until January 2010. Wonka Bars consisted of small graham cracker pieces dipped in milk chocolate. The brand was launched by Chicago's Breaker Confections in 1976, and purchased by Nestle in 1988.

Other bars produced included Wonka Xploder, Wonkalate and Wonka Biscuits.

To promote the 2005 film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, five different Wonka products (including one Wonka bar) were each packaged with a Golden Ticket, as in the novel and films. Each Golden Ticket awarded a different prize to its finder; the one in the Wonka bar awarded $10,000 cash.

A Nestlé factory in Europe began producing Wonka Bars in the flavors and wrappers depicted in the 2005 film: Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight, Nutty Crunch Surprise [without actual nuts] and Triple Dazzle Caramel.

Nestlé Japan also released some Wonka Bars, in two flavours, Whipple Scrumptious Caramel Delight and Mysterious Spit-Spat Bar. These bars feature a wrapper done in the same style as the bars that appear in the Tim Burton film adaptation. More flavors appeared, including Piritto Natty Bur, Edible Garden, Eureka Moment, Happy Go Lucky, and Making WoW! Nestlé Japan also released a toy truck containing these bars. However, they have since been discontinued after the sale to Ferrero.

In March 2010, Nestlé USA introduced a new line of chocolate bars named "Wonka Exceptionals", consisting of three varieties. The Wonka Scrumdiddlyumptious Chocolate Bar (based on a bar of the same name from the 1971 film) consists of bits of toffee, cookie and peanuts in milk chocolate. The Wonka Chocolate Waterfall Bar contains white chocolate swirled with milk chocolate (named in reference to and emulating the chocolate waterfall and its purpose of churning the chocolate river), and the Wonka Domed Dark Chocolate Bar is made of dark chocolate topped with milk chocolate medallions. Wonka launched the product line with an in-package Golden Ticket sweepstakes. Ten Golden Tickets could be found in bars and bags of Wonka Exceptionals chocolates, and each ticket was worth a grand prize of a trip around the world. Recent new additions to the Wonka Exceptionals include Wonka Triple Dazzle Caramel, which consists of milk chocolate filled with caramel and a dash of sea salt (this variety had previously been produced to promote the 2005 film, where it consisted of caramel in white chocolate as opposed to milk), and Wonka Fantabulous Fudge, which consists of chocolate fudge in milk chocolate. They were discontinued in 2012.

On 9 August 2013, Nestle UK announced that the Wonka Bar was to return to the UK, after having not been sold since 2005. The new Wonka Bars are available in small individual bars and 100g big block bars. There are currently three flavours, Millionaire's Shortbread, Crème Brûlée and Chocolate Nice Cream. Crème Brûlée is not available in small bars and is only available in big block bars. The small individual bars went on sale on 16 September 2013 and the big block bars went on sale in October that year. They never sold in the United States, and were discontinued in 2014 due to falling sales.

In late 2013, Nestlé Australia and New Zealand introduced new additions to the Wonka Bar Line, 170g Big Blocks Bars which were released in four flavours, Wonka Triple Chocolate Whipple Bar, Nutty Crunchilicious, Caramel Hat Trick and Chocolate Tales Bar. More additions included Cookie Creamery, and Mudpuff Caramel Stuff, also released in smaller sizes. These also got discontinued later.

Fake bars
In the UK there is an ongoing trend of fake Wonka bars being sold. In 2013, a shop in Manchester was fined for selling fake Wonka bars with a fake 'golden ticket' prize. Other cases of the fake bars were reported across the UK.

In 2022, the Food Standards Agency issued a warning that fake Wonka bars were being sold in the UK with incorrect allergy advice. Bars were found to contain allergens such as nuts, which were not listed on the label. A shop in Barnsley was fined for selling fake bars. Westminster City Council seized over £100,000 in fake Wonka bars from shops on Oxford Street.

Why Not Me? (novel)

Why Not Me? is a 1999 political satire novel by Al Franken.

Synopsis
The book is made up of three different sections. First is Franken's autobiography, Daring to Lead. Second is a campaign diary, following Franken and his campaign staff across the primary states of Iowa and New Hampshire. The final section, supposedly written by Bob Woodward, is a behind-the-scenes account of Franken's first hundred days as president, titled The Void. There is also an epilogue, set several decades after the plot, giving historical perspective on the Franken presidency and Franken's post-presidential life.

The Campaign
The book starts with Daring to Lead, Franken's campaign autobiography, in which he recounts his life from his childhood in the fictional town of Christhaven, Minnesota, to his college years, to his career on NBC's Saturday Night Live. We learn later from Franken's campaign diary that some parts of Daring to Lead are completely fabricated.

The diary describes Franken's experiences in the race. He starts out as a dark horse Democratic candidate, running on a single-issue platform (ATM fees). In the diary, Franken routinely insults the residents of New Hampshire and Iowa and describes numerous extramarital affairs, illegal actions, ridiculous campaign promises, and disastrous schemes designed to bolster Franken's poll numbers. Despite Franken's deceit, he is eventually given the Democratic nomination due to a rise in support after the Y2K bug creates glitches solely on ATMs. He is elected president in an unprecedented landslide victory.

The Presidency
The Void, a book supposedly written by Bob Woodward, describes Franken's brief and turbulent tenure at the White House. After Franken makes a bizarre inauguration speech apologizing for slavery, the resulting backlash sends Franken into depression. Franken's aides give him anti-depressant drugs, but this causes Franken to display strange behavior. Franken has himself cloned, punches Nelson Mandela in the stomach during a state meeting, and hatches a dangerous plan to assassinate Saddam Hussein by flying to Iraq and hitting him with a plaque that reads, "World's Greatest Grandpa." Congress forms a committee to investigate Franken's mood swings, which leads to the unraveling of his administration. After his diary is publicized, Franken is forced to resign.

The epilogue reveals that Franken's clone (parented by then-couple Ellen DeGeneres and Anne Heche) is now the head of Franken's presidential library. Franken's entire cabinet was impeached along with the President, and all served varied prison terms; Franken pardoned himself before resigning. Franken's term is revealed to have actually had some benefits: his campaign for Russia to enter NATO provides important global security; his Vice President, Joe Lieberman, turns out to be the greatest President in history and serves eighteen years in office; and his dismantling of the remains of the Glass–Steagall Act benefits his boosters in the insurance industry.

Most of the characters in the book are real people, but the events are fictional.

Characters

 * Otto Franken – Al's violent and alcoholic (fictional) brother, who attacks members of the press with two-by-fours and disguises himself and uses aliases like "Dotto Dranken", "Botto Branken" and "Klotto Klanken" to mock Al Gore.
 * Dan Haggerty – TV's Grizzly Adams, whom the campaign uses for celebrity endorsement.
 * Norm Ornstein – A well-respected fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and friend of Franken. He is the campaign manager, and later the White House chief of staff.
 * Howard Fineman – former Newsweek reporter who is goaded into being the Franken campaign's public relations spokesman, and later becomes the White House press secretary.
 * Dick Morris – A famous pollster for Bill Clinton who joins Franken's campaign to develop strategy and raise money.
 * Frank Luntz – a Republican pollster who, Al thinks, is on the campaign only because he's a "starfucker."
 * Joe Lieberman – Franken's vice president. In reality, Lieberman declared himself an Independent after the elections.
 * Sandy Koufax – former professional baseball player who becomes Franken's Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
 * Al Gore – former vice president whom Franken politically destroyed during the 2000 Iowa primary; later became a congressman from Tennessee.
 * Franni Franken – Al's (real life) wife who is eventually used by the campaign after a heroic rescue of an old man in New Hampshire.

Writing style
Franken writes his own character as a blowhard who does not fully understand political issues and who, therefore, falls back on such clichés as "The United States is the only remaining Superpower."

In the (fictional) Franken diary, he uses initials to refer to various people and political blocs, such as "O." for his fictional brother, Otto, and "S.P." for the supposedly "stupid people" whom he meets every time he attends a political rally. He also uses initials to refer to various young women with whom he is having affairs, the fact of which he hopes to conceal from his wife.

In the first part of the book, he portrays his children, Thomasin and Joseph (real people), as being against his running for the Presidency.

Parallels to future events
Franken correctly predicted that Joe Lieberman would be the Democratic Party's vice presidential nominee in the 2000 presidential election.

In 2008, Franken officially announced his candidacy for Norm Coleman's Minnesota seat in the U.S. Senate in the 2008 election. He was eventually victorious, following a protracted recount.

In 2017, several columnists wrote about the possibility of Franken running in the 2020 United States presidential election,  in spite of his dismissing the idea the prior year.
