I went round to my friends house earlier and they had just finished a Tsum Tsum Disney jigsaw puzzle. We were able to work out most of the characters, but there was one we couldn't work out. Can anyone tell us who the black and white striped character is? The character can be seen 2nd row from b...

Ok this is a huge shot in the dark. I remember seeing a live action movie on TV (probably late 90s) and some vivid scenes were it was a man from modern times with a collapsible spear (or staff) and he was stuck in a fantasy world with magical creatures and he was a warrior of some forgotten line....

Trying to recall title of a book from at least 20 yrs ago about a soldier in an army (UN force?) where fighters were regularly suicided and multiply resurrected. They also trained for paranoia (i.e. always looking for ways to kill everyone including their own command). Resurrection was using glo...

I saw this movie (or possibly mini-series) on TV (grandma had cable) in the mid to late eighties. I was young, so I don't remember much. Aliens were hiding as humans so it took a while to figure out what was going on. There was a scene with a baby, sick in an incubator, but then his skin split...

Not the Mid World books Human colonists on a forest planet, want to be independent from Earth Author’s first name might have been Christopher

In Harry Potter universe, there are three kinds of wandcore widely used which are Phoenix feather, Dragon heartstring and Unicorn hair. So do these variations in wand cores affect the wand's ability? For example, does dragon heartstring core allow a wizard/witch to perform flamboyant spells bette...

...What do I do with the information? Can you see the encoded message?

Who would win in a fight between Anakin Skywalker (full potential(more than Luke Skywalker)) and Abeloth.And if Anakin Skywalker looses Darth Sidious joins him and if they loose again Darth Vitiate joins them too.

I read this somewhere in the 1990s as a standard-sized paperback, probably about 200ish pages. The protagonist is a man on Earth who I remember was acting as a Batman-style vigilante, I think maybe funded by being a trust fund baby. I do remember that he was nursing significant bruises at the beg...

I read this story back in the 1950's or 1960's in an old science fiction magazine. I can't remember its title. You read what the main character is thinking as he begins another normal day in his life. He hears the morning lottery announcement that the person selected in the daily lottery is in No...

Im looking for a book I read as a child (early nineties) about an alien who used a spaceship and was part of a wider empire of aliens. They controlled millions with their mind. In a part of the book, an alien was developing and wearing a helmet to extend their power, but tried using it at some cr...

I read one volume of this series in the late 2000s. The colours are very clear, with little shading, I believe the name of the novel is a one-word title (something like Nebula or the name of the location they're exploring) and the planet is very green, constructions are kind of round. The crew wa...

I'm asking for help in tracking down what issue of which comic this one-off story is in. To the best of my memory: I'm pretty sure the story appeared in an anthology, and this was a one-off, but I can't say if it was the only story in this issue. I don't remember the plot, but it was set in a po...

Recently I watched J.K. Rowling's Harvard Commencement Speech and she mentions that she named some Death Eaters after her friends. Here is the actual quote: They are my children’s godparents, the people to whom I’ve been able to turn in times of trouble, pe...

In infinity wars, why did Thor choose to go to Wakanda right after the forging of Stormbreaker? Shouldn't he have gone to Titan, one of the two planets he knew Thanos said he was going?

I'm rereading The Phantom Tollbooth, and a sentence struck out at me that I haven't noticed before: Milo jumped back in fright and quickly grabbed Tock to make sure that his alarm didn't go off—for he knew how much witches hate loud noises. Is Norton Juster referencing a certain book of lit...

I read this book a few years ago: 2 stories interlinked. 1 is set in the future, the second is set on a distant old world. The main old world character is a villager who has "special powers" he does not what they are, but as he gets older he realises through will, he can control time. There is...

The scene of the Demons of Ignorance chasing Milo is one of the most iconic illustrations in The Phantom Tollbooth: But I can't match most of the demons to Norton Juster's text. (Though to be fair, Jules Feiffer was deliberately unparticular about that.) How many can we identify?

Well, after Thanos has possession of all Six infinity stones and he killed half the population of the universe and now in the endgame trailer we see he is now a happy farmer, why would Avengers want to fight him? He is no evil now as he is a farmer and they cannot bring back half the population b...

Now that Looney Tunes is on-topic, maybe I can get an answer for something I've been wondering about for a while: Looney Tunes characters, (most famously Wile E. Cayote), always use products with the brand name ACME: Do they ever use products anywhere from a different fictional company?

I know that Mos Eisley and Mos Espa were the first and most important cities on the planet Tatooine, but in the game Star Wars: The Old Republic a lot of other "Mos-like" settlements appeared(Mos Ila, Mos Taike, Mos Gamos), tell me what other settlements there are (Canon), and where they located ...

In Mistborn, can Allomancers burn zinc and brass to Riot or Soothe their own emotions, such as to calm down if scared or cause a fight-or-flight reaction to trigger adrenaline?
