In North America, the term gasoline is often shortened in colloquial usage to gas, while petrol is the common name in the UK, Republic of Ireland and in Commonwealth countries.

gasoline was common a few decades ago iirc

But 'Price of gas' is something I've heard in a lot of british songs, by Bloc Party and Disco Inforno, right?

...or is it bread...

on a similar note to above:

For the billiards player, see Eddy Merckx (billiards player).

Really.

Merckx was born in 1968, the year cyclist Eddy Merckx won his first Giro d'Italia, and he was named after the cyclist. In daily life, he often adopts the his wife's maiden name to avoid confusion with his much more famous namesake.

sucks for him, yeah, but who really came to the page thinking "who's this guy?? i was trying to look up the billiards player!"

Billiards fans?

and the .5% of people making that search can also put "billiards" in the search box. you wouldn't expect to type just "eddy merckx" into google and get a ton of billiards results. anyway i'm prob getting too worked up about this, i just thought it was dumb to use the first line of the article to shout out some other random dude

there are probably plenty of rugby fans who aren't aware of lou reed (singer).

I've never heard of either Eddy Merckx, so I have no idea if every Eddy Merckx billiards fan would have heard of the other one. Whoever the other one is.

Linda S. Ghent, Professor in the Department of Economics at Eastern Illinois University, discusses this episode in terms of its dramatization of the economic issue of market power. The Soup Nazi has monopoly power because he has the power to alter the market price of the goods and services he sells, such as charging George $2, and then $3, for bread. The soup seller is free to practice price discrimination against George and can banish Elaine from his restaurant because he doesn't like her attitude. Because the Soup Nazi's soup is so good, his reign over New York's soup is powerful to the point that his customers prefer his market, and even his abuse, rather than seek soup elsewhere. Elaine breaks his monopoly when she finds his recipes.[18]

If they do, it's probably in reference to their home gas bills. Natural gas, not gasoline.

As of 2010, Bosco is produced in several flavors in addition to the original chocolate: berry blue, strawberry, caramel, sugar free, and "sugar free pancake syrup" (presumably[by whom?] maple).

Who does that, or is it auto-generated, those "[by whom?]" things?

Man of Steel is a 2013 American superhero film directed by Zack Snyder, produced by Christopher Nolan, and scripted by David S. Goyer. It employs non-linear storytelling.

Using tacks on a piano runs the risk that the tacks will be ejected from the hammers and can then become lodged in other parts of the mechanism. If the jammed mechanism is then forced by hitting the keys, parts of the action may be broken. More importantly, the holes created in the hammers by the tacks dramatically weaken the hammer felt (which is stretched at high tension over the hammer wood),[1] and may permanently reduce the sound of the piano to dark mush once the tacks are removed.

There is no known cure or vaccine against the coxsackie.

Zhang Zongchang's nickname of the Dogmeat General came from a fondness for gambling, especially for the game Pai Gow which Northeastern Chinese called "eating dog meat".

Pen had reportedly stepped to Brown barefoot in the lobby of Nevada's Reno Hilton during the Impact Music Convention and tried to slap and chase her down an elevator.[4][9] The fight would later be broken up by Brown's associates Noreaga and Cam'ron, resulting in a subjugation of the altercation.[9]

Iam Hungry – A short-lived McDonaldland character who was the self-proclaimed "Vice President of Snacking". He was introduced in 1998 and dropped in 2001. The character was a floating, fast-moving green fuzzball with orange arms and a monstrous face. He would often appear when Ronald was dining with kids and would constantly crave food. He would never stop pestering them until he got fed. Iam Hungry was featured in The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald VHS, titled "Visitors from Outer Space" where he eats the gunk off of Ronald's rocket.

self-proclaimed "Vice President of Snacking"

it's pretty sad that you would make such a claim only to put yourself second.

In August 1937, he placed third in a clam-eating tournament on Block Island by eating 84 cherrystone clams.

The song was Jack Wilson's walk-up song during his time with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

In 2012, she released her own version of Rachel Stevens "Negotiate with Love" in Estonia. The 12" limited edition release reached the dizzying heights of Number 57 on the Estonian Hot 100 Chart.

Formatted properly, the abbreviation has a single period after it ("cf.", not "c.f.") because it represents a shortening of a single word – confer – not two words (cf. "q.v."). With incorrect formatting that used two periods ("c.f.") the result would be an abbreviation of two words that could mean, for example, "centrifugal force",[11] or "Chaplain to the Forces".[12]
