Demonic Dummy Takes Over School Bus

[edit]

I remember seeing this animated television show episode about 10 years ago. It was about a bunch of children headed to school. It was show and tell day and everyone brought something. One girl brought a Ventriloquist's dummy. Later in the episode, the dummy came to life and took over the bus with the intention of driving it strait into the sun. I was wondering what television show it was from or at least what the episode was called. Thanks in advance.

Which song is it?

[edit]

Hello! Does anyone know the artist and title of the following song? You can hear the song in the background in this video. The video is from a German TV-Show. The song I'm searching for starts at 6:25 minutes. Thanks in advance for every useful hint. -- McFred (talk) 06:30, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's been solved. -- McFred (talk) 17:45, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
What was it? (for the benefit of those of us who listened, but didn't know) Fribbler (talk) 17:47, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is the band Cassius with the song Toop Toop. Kind regards, -- McFred (talk) 22:36, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ozone movie

[edit]

I saw a movie many years back with the guy who played highlander, I threrfore thought it was a highlander movie, but in retrospect I think I have now seen them all and this was not one of them. The ozone is depelted so highlander creates a machine that will cover the whole sky and block out the sun plunging the whole world into darkness, or eternal night. during this time crime rates sore, by the end of the movie the machine gets turned off or destroyed and every one gets to see the sky again, and the ozone has fixed itself in the meantime. any ideas? whether or not the german(?) guy who played highlander is immortal in this movie I dont remember, but maybe. Please help thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.115.175.247 (talk) 10:18, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do yourself a favor and don't see it again. I'm not sure which was worse, this one or the third movie... Dismas|(talk) 12:24, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Highlander fans are very quick to point out that the Highlander II movie never existed. Corvus cornixtalk 22:10, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I haven't seen such a thing. But I've heard that it's not bad if watched with the sound off. —Tamfang (talk) 01:49, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Homer's step-brother or full-brother?

[edit]

I remember there was an episode of "The Simpsons" where they showed that a guy who looks like Homer with hair. Is he Homer's step-brother or full-brother? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.204.74.235 (talk) 16:03, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Herbert Powell is Homer's half brother; both are sons of Abraham Simpson, with different mothers. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 16:08, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's the one voiced by Danny DeVito, right? —Tamfang (talk) 01:50, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. — Twas Now ( talkcontribse-mail ) 02:20, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
