Time for another question -- answer any correctly to get the thread.

Q1:

CliffD wrote:This question comes from the OAV series Giant Robo.

The development of the energy source called the Shizuma Drive is credited to a group of five scientists. One, of course, is Dr. Shizuma, the person who the energy source is named after. A second is Dr. Franken von Vogler, who, unfortunately, is best known for the Tragedy of Bashtarle (a serious and catastrophic accident in the development of the Shizuma Drive).

THE QUESTION: What are the names of the three other scientists in that Group of Five?

Q2:
This question comes from the motion picture Houhokekyo Tonari no Yamada-kun (aka My Neighbors the Yamadas).

At one point in the film, the mother (Matsuko) is in the kitchen, with the radio playing a classical music piece -- loud enough to be heard outside. A neighbor comments on this, recognizing (correctly) the name of the original composer, and remarking that she didn't know Matsuko was a classical music fan. Indeed, Matsuko does seem deep in thought while the music is playing.

THE QUESTION: Who was the name of the composer? (HINT: the piece heard here is from his Symphony No. 1)

Tchaikovsky? No.
Beethoven? No (but GOOD guess)
Mozart? No, assuming your talking about Wolfgang Amadeus (his father, Leopold, has a piece in the Yamada-kun soundtrack!!)
Lizst? No.

Still open.

That's them! Your thread -- but first . . .

Giant Robo:
The three other scientists were Doctors Duncan, Simule, and Trumble. (I've seen other spellings for these names -- these are the ones off of Media Blaster's recent DVD release, but other spellings would have been accepted.)

My Neighbors the Yamadas:
Mahler (specifically, Gustav Mahler) composed the piece of music playing on the radio (the neighbor correctly ID'ed it). This was also the same composition playing on the TV (as BGM for the program that was on) during the "First Snow" vignette.

Take it, Gohan!

*loves being called Gohan* XD

Ok question. In the Movie 'Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocense' Batou's dog has a toy he plays with at one point which is very unique. What is the toy?

More than 48 hours since the last post means I jump in with a new question.

In Mouse, how many Mouses (Mice?) had preceeded Sorata Muon as the master thief?

He's 20th Generation, so there had been 19 before him.
