The Cat in the Hat in Latin

Does Cattus Petasatus really mean the Cat in the Hat? If not, what is the Latin for 'in the hat'? Surely the word for 'hat' would be ablative?

Screen vision

Why, when munching on, say, a particularly crunchy biscuit, or when cleaning one's teeth with an electric toothbrush, do computer screens appear to flicker? I guess it is something to do with the...

Helmets on Band of Brothers

In the series Band of Brothers, why do they never do up their helmets? Did the American soldiers in WW2 do up their helmets? If not, why not?

Reggae version of Angels

Has anyone done a reggae version of Angels by Robbie Williams? I heard a band do a fantastic version in a live show, and wondered if anyone had had the same idea and recorded it.

Electricity usage of light bulbs

Would it use more electricity to leave a main light on - 100W, 240V - or to leave a 12W lamp plugged into a 240V socket? I know it looks like a simple matter, but I wondered if the different wattage...

British Army Stable Belts

Does anyone know of a website listing the stable belts of various regiments? I am specifically thinking of the Royal Green Jackets, the King's Royal Hussars and the Blues and Royals. Thank you.

The Dreamscape!

I have been having some pretty vivid dreams recently. Is this due to a) my mumps or b) the ibuprofen I am taking for them?

Reggae track with some great samples!

I heard this being played in a music shop a while ago, but now I'm kicking myself for not asking what it was. It's a reggae song which samples Ennio Morricone's 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' and...

Attention Deficit Disorder

Does ADD really exist, or is it just an attempt to give the character trait of restlessness a medical name so that there is an excuse for a) bad behaviour and/or b) consultants' bills?

Name that song! And, for a bonus point, the singer.

A female singer, not a new song, fairly slow. Part of the chorus goes: "every dream that I thought was mine...all quite forgotten now". Just from listening, I could swear that the song would be called...
