During Lt. Sunderstrom's search in the film for the signals' author, he is given just one hour, while in the novel, he is given two hours to find the source. Just like the novel, Sunderstrom's radiation suit doesn't have a wrist watch to help him keep track of his time ashore, so the submarine crew alerts him with horn blasts every quarter of an hour. In the film, a single horn blast is given every fifteen minutes, and Sunderstrom is ordered to return immediately after hearing the third blast. In the novel, the submarine crew gives one horn blast for a quarter of an hour, two for half an hour, three for three quarters, and four for a whole hour. He's ordered to stop what he's doing at five horn blasts (1 1/4 hours) and return at six horn blasts (1 1/2 hours).

Despite the successes of Titanic in 1997, Saving Private Ryan in 1998 and Gladiator in 2000 (the latter also starring Crowe), the historical epic had lost much of its popularity among general audiences by the time of the Master and Commander release. In 2003, the box office was largely dominated by escapist and fantasy films, such as X2: X-Men UnitedFinding NemoPirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. In addition to being more erudite, Master and Commander's realistic and gruesome depiction of combat may have been too serious for audiences during the holiday season. O'Brian's novels also had little name recognition.[8]

it's like the serviceman is cosplaying himself, in a moment as arch as a Margitte's "The treachery of images." Note how the theater employee seems to look through time, to us, to our lordly superiority over the subject. The difference between him and us is - I can't. I can't bear his eyes longer. He is Sartre's scarecrow. So naked in dress.

An alarming amount of early chemistry was urine related. Also you should've included the next sentence:

quote:

He had seen for instance a recipe in a book 400 Auserlensene Chemische Process,[2] by F. T. Kessler of Strasbourg, published in 1630, for using alum, saltpetre (potassium nitrate) and concentrated urine to turn base metals into silver[3] (a recipe which did not work).

Just a complete chump, as we now know from :science:

He used about 1,500 US gallons (5,700 L) of urine[4] to produce just 120 grams of phosphorus. If he had ground up the entire residue he could have obtained many times more than this (1 litre of adult human urine contains about 1.4g of phosphorus salts, which amounts to around 0.11 grams of pure white phosphorus).

Alchemists experimented with sperm too, among other animal and human bodily products. Here's how to make a homunculus according to Paracelsus!

quote:

That the sperm of a man be putrefied by itself in a sealed cucurbit for forty days with the highest degree of putrefaction in a horse's womb ["venter equinus", meaning "warm, fermenting horse dung"[2]], or at least so long that it comes to life and moves itself, and stirs, which is easily observed. After this time, it will look somewhat like a man, but transparent, without a body. If, after this, it be fed wisely with the Arcanum of human blood, and be nourished for up to forty weeks, and be kept in the even heat of the horse's womb, a living human child grows therefrom, with all its members like another child, which is born of a woman, but much smaller.[3]

The video game industry saw Apple's Apple TV as potential microconsole competition due to the company's experience in the mobile games market.[34][35][30] Polygon reported in January 2013 that the Apple TV "continue[d] to be dangerously close to upending the mobile gaming space" and speculated that an Apple TV App Store could spark "a rush of games to the television".[16] As of 2023, no such rush has manifested.

The tune somewhat resembles that of "Deep Sleep", "Time Out for Fun" and "Big Mess" from Devo's Oh, No! It's Devo album. Al's line "Yes!" in a slightly altered voice is reminiscent of the "Yes!" from "Explosions" on the same album. A descending synth line heard before some verses is similar to one used in "Deep Sleep." The recurring synth line heard throughout the song is very similar to the opening synth line from "Time Out for Fun". A descending three-note synth line heard throughout the chorus is very reminiscent of one used heavily in "Whip It".

Apparently it's actually a description of "Dare to Be Stupid," Weird Al's Devo style parody, so the direct Devo refs are kind of interesting? It's got a bad case of that Wikipedia style where even interesting facts become deadly dull, though.
