Talk:EMD SD45

message: The first EMD SD45 Demonstrator #4351 was built in December 1965, not February 1965. See A. J. Kristopans EMD Serial Number Home Page http://community-1.webtv.net/ajkristopans/40SERIES/. The first EMD production SD45 was Great Northern #400 "Hustle Muscle" in May 1966. EMD Demonstrators #4352 and #4353 were built in January 1966. --207.69.139.144 12:51, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

message: According to the ICC accident report this SD45 was destroyed at Leadville Jct. TN in a rear end collision on October 26, 1969. Southern train 3rd #120 hit the caboose of train 2nd #120. The caboose rode over the frame of the 3120 and cleaned everything off back to the alternator and most of the long hood, see the photo in the ICC train wreck database for Southern, 2nd 1969 wreck. A J Kristopans has this first unit traded in to EMD and rebuilt on repair order #8084. It was released on the same serial number 33597 in April 1970 as Southern 3120.

message: I originally created this page as a link to ATF (a disambiguation page) after seeing a red-link for A.T.F.

Paul Moller was described as Emeritus Professor at the UCD School of Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineering in his wikipedia entry.

This is because he is not listed as Emeriti Staff at the school's website
nor is he listed as a member of the UCD Emeriti association

That is false. Unicode does not include a ü-breve as a precomposed character, but it allows us to compose it: ü̆ Ü̆. (Not that I see why one should want to use the breve as a substitute for the caron.)

Talk:Adrammelech

message: I added the little bit about Adramelech appearing in Basileus, which was a short story I read back in the tenth grade, and a definite good read for anyone who's interested. I happened to find the description to be of particular interest, since it would suggest that Adramelech is the real, real fiend in hell. I've got a copy of the story somewhere, but it isn't with me presently. The quote is from memory, so I may make a slight alteration sometime in the future if I discover that I forgot precisely how it went. I'm pretty sure that's it though.
I wasn't entirely sure whether to put this under the main heading or under "Adramelech in Popular Culture," but seeing as how the quote is a description of the demon and not him appearing as a monster in a computer game or something, I thought it would add more to the main heading than to the cultural heading. If someone disagrees with me, then please feel free to edit it.
As if that weren't enough, I read somewhere once - and this is extra scary - that Adramelech speaks only in whispers, something he's done for so long that he cannot remember why he ever even started to do it. Unfortunately, I can't confirm this one way or the other, so I thought it best to leave it out of the article.
