I remember reading this book some years ago, probably like ten or twelve.
In it, two magicians: I think it was a mind magician and maybe a necromancer, are on the run from some big bad (probably a monster of some sort), and they travel to and from many different worlds, while trying to get away...
Who taught Kylo Ren how to bleed his lightsaber. Did he read about it in former Sith writings, did Snoke teach him (which seems unlikely considering Snoke is not seen with a lightsaber of his own), or did Ren teach himself?

As we can see in this fragment of an X-Wing during the trench run:
An X-Wing with shields set to "all power to rear" is able to block a few shots. After this, it must be evacuated or will be destroyed.
However, in Star Wars Rebels we can see that TIE Defender gets 2 direct hits and is still ...2

"Well, we'll mange," said Mrs Weasley, but she looked worried. "I expect we'll be able to pick up a lot of Ginny's things second-hand."
I think "pick up" here means "to buy". However, Ginny's things second-hand looks odd. Maybe, second-hand, as an adjective, is used as a complement? Otherwis...0
In Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the character Delphini is introduced as being the love child of Voldermort and Bellatrix Lastrange.

The Art of Computer Programming (sometimes known by its initials TAOCP) is a comprehensive monograph written by Donald Knuth that covers many kinds of programming algorithms and their analysis.
Knuth began the project, originally conceived as a single book with twelve chapters, in 1962. The first three volumes of what was then expected to be a seven-volume set were published in 1968, 1969, and 1973. The first published installment of Volume 4 appeared in paperback as Fascicle 2 in 2005.
The hardback Volume 4A, combining Volume 4, Fascicles 0–4, was published in 2011. Volume 4, Fascicle 6 ("...
I recall reading about a new sf book published in the last couple of years.
I seem to remember that it maybe involved the discovery of a spaceship and that there was a time travel element.

In the classic horror-fantasy film The Mummy (1932), it is well known that there were several filmed scenes of the different eras where the princess Ankh-es-en-amon reincarnated but for reasons of time they were discarded before the film was released. It seems that film silent actor Henry Victor,...

I think most here would agree that whenever someone asks Is this a scam, the answer is almost certainly, Yes, this is a scam.
Have there been any instances of questions like these where the answer was actually, No?
Suppose a Jewish text says something. Suppose this something relates to some factual reality. Suppose I wonder whether the something is actually true. Would it be on topic to ask about it on Mi Yodeya?
Let's take a simple example to illustrate this:
The Talmud (Berachot 35b) states:

Beer in Belgium varies from pale lager to amber ales, lambic beers, Flemish red ales, sour brown ales, strong ales and stouts. In 2016, there were approximately 224 active breweries in Belgium, including international companies, such as AB InBev, and traditional breweries including Trappist monasteries.On average, Belgians drink 84 litres of beer each year, down from around 200 each year in 1900. Most beers are bought or served in bottles, rather than cans, and almost every beer has its own branded, sometimes uniquely shaped, glass. In 2016, UNESCO inscribed Belgian beer culture on their list...
TV Series Identification: Each episode tells an isolated and closed story of light terror/fantasy, much like the style of "Tales from the Crypt" (or this way I remember, I was younger).

If an identification question has an accepted answer, it would make sense to tag it with the authors name. Or should we not tag it and leave it as a sort of trivia question for others?
