Talk:It Might as Well Be Spring

message: I believe Rodgers & Hammerstein made much better music than this.  I remember we had to sing "It Might As Well Be Spring" in my fourth-grade assemblies.  The song has no meaning or relevance to me.  Gag me with a spoon! 2601:C5:4200:44B0:C1BE:92F3:B348:AFB9 (talk) 16:04, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I love the song. I might hypothesize that maybe your dislike of it has to do with the fact that you were forced to sing it in fourth grade. Songs often take on nostalgic qualities associated with when one first experiences the song. Em3rgent0rdr (talk) 09:53, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues

message: If anyone wants to include the information below do do so... My earlier editing was removed but this has better referencing though it is less good: 
Sydney Stadium, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, 13 April 1966, Bob Dylan introduces "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" with this explanation, "This is, this is called Tom Thumb. This story takes place outside of Mexico City. It begins in Mexico City and it ends really in Des Moines, Iowa, but it’s all about this painter, he’s a quite older fellow, he comes from Juarez, Juarez is down cross of Texas border, some few feets, and he’s a painter. He’s very very well-known painter in the area there and we all call him Tom Thumb and when Tom Thumb was going through his blue period, this is one of the most important times of his whole life and he’s going to sell many many paintings now taken from his blue period and this is all about Tom Thumb and his early days and so we name this Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues. [someone in the audience: “Hard Rain”] Isn’t that right. Hard rain. Hard rain!!"

However if you use the same sequence of random variates as you used in example 1 i.e., the sequence \left\{ X_n \right\}_{n = 1}^\infty taking on values in [0, \infty), then the only way the sum could ever return to the origin is for all the \left\{ X_n \right\}_{n = 1}^\infty to take on the value 0.  Otherwise the sum will always be greater than zero.  And therefore the probability the sum will ever be zero after the first non-zero  X_n  is zero.  Is that right?

Talk:Arvirargus

message: I moved the following paragraph here. I've never heard the Domesday line before, and the others are unsourced.
:Arvirargus is also connected to the legend that Joseph of Arimathea brought Christianity to Britain. The Domesday Book (1086) records that Arviragus granted Joseph and his followers "twelve hides of land tax free, in Ynis-witrin (Glastonbury)" (the Domesday Book also says that "The Domus Dei, in the great monastery of Glastonbury, called the Secret of the Lord, this Glastonbury Church possesses, in its own villa XII hides of land which have never paid tax"). William of Malmesbury's De Antiquitate Glastoniensis Ecclesiae (1126) and John Hardyng's Chronicle (1464) also refer to the king giving Joseph land at Glastonbury.
--Cúchullain t/c 22:55, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Domesday reference is certainly inaccurate. I've recently got the Penguin translation, and while there is reference to a church with "12 hides which have never paid geld", it's not called the "Domus Dei" or the "Secret of the Lord", and there's no mention of Arviragus or Joseph of Arimathea. I don't know about the Hardyng or Malmesbury references, but it does seem that pseudohistorians are fond of citing works they know few of their readers are going to be able to check, and claiming they say more than they do. --Nicknack009 07:09, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

message: When someone has time, it's worth noting in the article that William Camden and others in the 16th19th centuries considered 'British' coins with legends similar to ARIVOG ONO NVS to have been minted under the 'reign' of 'Arvirargus', 'providing' his historicity and even getting into arguments about possible Christian symbolism. Those coins turned out to have been worn or partially offstruck products of coinage that actually read ARIVOS SANTONOS and that had been struck somewhere in Gaul, presumably by some chief of the Santones named or titled Arivos (1, 2, 3). — LlywelynII 15:01, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

I changed the word "fastest" to "greatest" in the following sentence:
"In the USA the greatest growth in terms of absolute numbers is in those identifying as non-religious (increasing by 15,150,000 between 1990 and 2001), followed by Christians (increasing by 7,805,000), Buddhists (increasing by 681,000) and Muslims (increasing by 577,000) [2]. (A confounding factor in this survey is that the over 18 population as a whole increased from 175 million to 207 million).
