I think the song was originally a song about nostalgia, but Paul Simon owed more songs to The Graduate soundtrack than he had written by the time the movie was coming out. The song became Mrs. Robinson despite having little to do with the character or the movie.

I'm guessing, but really not sure, that Joe DiMaggio gets a mention in more songs than just that one; he was married to Marilyn Monroe (albeit relatively briefly) and was the only one of her husbands to continue to put roses on her grave. Along this line, my question is whether the Rolling Stones make a reference to that in Dead Flowers, or if I'm reading too much into songs right now to put off studying for finals.

Fine, be that way. Don't let the door hit you on the arse on the way out.

PLEASE DON'T GO MOWQUE!

"Tell me a lie, and say that you won't go,
look in my eye, I really need to know,
I realise you have to walk away,
no more yesterday

Why can't we be together?
Why can't you stay forever?
Why can't you just tell me a lie?

I wish we could never say...
Goodbye."

:cry:

The song was originally supposed to be called Mrs Roosevelt, about, funnily enough, Eleanor Roosevelt. It was changed because even her crippled husband didn't want to root her, let alone Dustin Hoffman.

Interesting trivia, which does nothing to answer your question. But it gives me a feeling of intellectual superiority.
 
There's this thing about how you can't drink a gallon of milk in a short amount of time because the human body can't process it quickly enough and you just throw up ... so how fast can one drink milk? As in, x litres/hour or something like that.

Ya, it's really a giant button, if the USA is ever threatened, they push it and ignite the core and explode the earth.


Do you guys think it'd be possible for 2 different sapient species to evolve on Earth? Like say even just another species of humans, like say we didn't wipe out the neanderthals and they evolved into another more intelligent species. Or more distinctly, lizardmen! Although I guess the case is, by the time one was evolving, unless in a remote corner of the world, the other would be more advanced and just wipe them out.

I think it depends on how similar the species are. I can imagine Neanderthals and Humans coexisting, and also interbreeding (which is speculated to have happened).

It is so easy to imagine the scenario play out one way or the other, and it's hard to predict how it actually would have been because there isn't a precedent.

But, I think it is possible.

Oh, and as far as we know, there could be a sentient race of deep-sea fish or crab (crabpeople!) that we haven't discovered yet.
 
What is an easy, quick and free way of getting ringtones onto an iPhone? I've been on a website where you simply downloaded the tune you wanted, it automatically stored in iTunes and would be put into the ringtones section of your phone when you next synced it, but I can't find it now. Any help please?

Try making your own mp3 ringtones with audacity, than emailing the files to yourself. Open email on the iphone and save them.
