Talk:Maynard G. Krebs

message: I believe it was Maynard G. Krebs who popularized the phrase "You rang?", that was later used by Lurch in The Addams Family, although Lurch did it in a much lower register, and much more slowly.
The opening paragraph says "the G. stood for Walter; see below", but it is not explained elsewhere in the article.  If no one can provide the background, we should remove the "see below". - Mark Dixon 06:57, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

message: What is Maynard's middle name?  If it were actually "Walter" his middle initial would be "W".  I think the name is intended to be "Gwallter" a Welsh name that in English is commonly pronounced like "Walter".  It may even have appeared as "Walter" in a script even if it was "Gwallter" in the show bible, because scripts often use phonetic spellings.  Does anyone have any more data?

message: "Among the memorable phrases uttered in the series is Gillis' regular comment, "Good stuff, Maynard," which long-preceded its use in the Malt-O-Meal commercial from the early 1980s that so many reference as the phrase's origin."
This is complete BS. The phrase has NEVER been said on Dobie Gillis never mind being a 'regular comment. I challenge anyone to find any clip of Dobie or anyone else saying it on Dobie Gillis. It doesn't exist. If it did there would already be a YouTube clip of it, but lo and behold the only "Good Stuff Maynard" clip on YouTube is the Malt-O-Meal commercial.

At the time Macdonald took up the office of Moderator, the total population of the Church had fallen steadily from 5.21 million in 1971 to 5.11 million in 2002.[4] As the new Moderator, Macdonald saw the primary task for the Church of Scotland as becoming more appealing to a younger audience to turn this tide of more than 30 years of falling congregations.[4]
The Church 'population' in 2002 was already below one million.  5.11 million in 2002 and 5.21 million in 1971 were the total populations of the country of Scotland, not the Church of Scotland.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.42.26.195 (talk) 12:06, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

thread_title: Alpha-helical proteins in outer membranes

message: Complete non-scientist here.  Reading the first sentence of this article, I'm wondering what "spans" means in the statement, A transmembrane protein is a protein that spans the entire biological membrane.  Does it mean that this protein is a component of a membrane and is present throughout all regions of the membrane, or is this protein a separate thing from a membrane that may be found on either side of the membrane?  Or something else?  (Or maybe my understanding is flawed enough that those questions don't make sense...) --❨Ṩtruthious ℬandersnatch❩ 07:27, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, Struthious! A transmembrane protein can be said to span the membrane when it protrudes all the way through it, like in the illustration here. There are also plenty of membrane proteins that do not span their membrane: they can be inserted into a membrane but protrude from only one face of the membrane, or they can adhere to one face of the membrane and not be part of it at all (these last kinds are called peripheral membrane proteins). Does that help? – ClockworkSoul 08:00, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Talk:John Paul Jones (film)

message: Bette Davis may be a big star, but she was not credited second in this film.  She is credited as "Special Guest Star", following the "Starring" and "Guest Starring" players and before the "Featured" and the "Also Featured" players.  The Vansittart citation notwithstanding, the film does not depict "a fictional romance between Jones and Catherine".  Davis appears in only two linked scenes in which Catherine flirts heavily with Jones, but Jones does not reciprocate.  This hardly counts as "a romance", and hers is little more than a supporting role.  The only romances depicted in the film are between Jones and Danders (he loses her to Henry while at sea) and Jones and de Tellison (he searches France for her before leaving for St. Petersburg, and she later attends him as he lay dying). 71.200.89.119 (talk) 13:51, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
