What the Fudge? 1. I don't know for sure but why did the Cops allow Fox to be a Racist by pouring Grape Soda on the Ground?(50.173.3.170 (talk) 12:40, 1 June 2015 (UTC)).
In real life, would Cops allow a Cop to be a Racist by pouring Soda on the Ground?(50.173.3.162 (talk) 02:31, 2 June 2015 (UTC)).
I consider "Pouring Soda Infront of a Witness" is Racism. Here is a better question: [In real Life, would Cops allow a Cop to pour Soda infront of a Witness?](50.173.3.170 (talk) 11:21, 2 June 2015 (UTC)).

Documentary featuring a hypothetical intelligent insect and the Cambrian explosion
editOn a forum devoted to speculative evolution, a poster mentioned a documentary, primarily about the Cambrian explosion, which they couldn't recall the title of. What they remembered was this: " At the end they had a bit where chordates died out and invertebrates ruled. They came up with a big, chunky wolf sized wasp and then a erect, vaguely praying mantis intelligent wasp." Now I'm pretty sure I've seen a (negative) review of this same documentary, but I can't remember the title either, or anything specific enough to search for. The poster also said that it might have aired on Channel 5 (UK). Anyone know what this is? 75.4.17.61 (talk) 16:02, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
- Some (though not all) of what you describe fits The Hellstrom Chronicle. MarnetteD|Talk 17:53, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
Game of thrones
editHow did theon greyjoy get captured by the boltons when they both betrayed the Starks? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.66.246.125 (talk) 20:34, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
- Here is his biography at the TV show Wiki, while here is his biography at the book series Wiki. You can get the answers to your questions there. --Jayron32 20:44, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
- After Theon seizes Winterfell, Robb tasks his bannerman Roose Bolton to recapture it. He sends Ramsay Snow to do so, which he does - capturing Theon. This happens in "Valar Morghulis", the last episode of season 2. Ramsay spends much of season 3 torturing Theon. Bolton doesn't openly betray the Starks until "The Rains of Castamere", the 9th episode of season 3. By that point Theon's brainwashing is complete. And as neither the Boltons nor the Lanisters have allied with they Greyjoys, Theon being against the Starks doesn't automatically make him Bolton's ally. 146.90.127.87 (talk) 00:01, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
- Right, The enemy of my enemy is my friend definitely doesn't apply to Game of Thrones in general. And this was during "The War of the Five Kings", although the Greyjoys didn't ally with any of the five but just used the opportunity to make their own raids. PrimeHunter (talk) 14:20, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
- Balon Greyjoy, "King of the Iron Islands", is the fifth of those five kings. But it's hard to keep track of all the kings knocking about GoT (there's also at least the King beyond the Wall, the Queen across the Narrow Sea, and the Night's King). 146.90.127.87 (talk) 15:12, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
- I thought the King beyond the Wall was the fifth king but a search shows you are right. PrimeHunter (talk) 21:37, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, the five Kings are Robb Stark, Joffrey Baratheon, Stannis Baratheon, Renly Baratheon, and Balon Greyjoy. The direct involvement of Mance Rayder (King Beyond the Wall) doesn't come into play until well after four of the five kings (Renly, Robb, Balon, and Joffrey in that order, IIRC) are already dead. --Jayron32 00:51, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
- In the books Balon dies before Joffrey. But in the TV series it's not clear if he's dead even now - he hasn't been in an episode since the end of season 3 (Mhysa). I don't recall him, or his death, being mentioned since. 146.90.127.87 (talk) 10:12, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
- Most of the Greyjoy storyline, which makes up a sizable portion of A Feast for Crows is written out of the show entirely. Not surprising, something had to give. There's not enough time to cover the entire expanse of the books. --Jayron32 01:11, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
