Ahh... my brain is broken - I cannot think of any more cartoon cats! I'll look some more. Don't worry, this is a good clue.
I thought it was a person!wolram said:A cartoon cat, and this thing goes round and round.

Mk said:In 1891, Thomas Edison (as in Tom and Jerry) built a Kinetoscope, which spins around. This device was installed in penny arcades, where people could watch short, simple films. This was especially important to Thomas Edison because he had been searching for a way to entertain customers that were listening to music on his phonograph, which spins around.
yay! I got the 2,000th post!
What about one oh those beautiful Kia's cat?wolram said:Congratulations MK, you win a free go
honestrosewater said:Felix Wankel, rotary engine? (I swear we had this clue already - it was a picture clue.) I'm sure that's the answer, mister. Goes round and round (rotary thingy), as opposed to up and down (pistons - I know pistons go up and down! Right?)
Yep, here 'tis: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?p=594193&highlight=wankel#post594193
And I answered it!
Which one was it?wolram said:Congratulations MK, you win a free go
Wax?...wolram said:While things are quite i will sneak this one in.
You are looking for some thing that connects.
A statue in birmingham A.
Oppenheimer
Icarus
And the Blue danube.

Townsend said:This is crazy dude...I need another hint.
wolram said:just one more clue "V".
Townsend said:Vulcan is the god of fire and Oppenheimer worked on the first atomic bomb so there is some connection there but what that has to do with Icarus or a dance is beyond me...
Yes, Juneau is the answer, and it is opposite from Rome, which all roads lead to, because no roads at all lead to Juneau.honestrosewater said:Yukon (home) -> Alaska (state) -> Janeau (capital) -> ??

Well "real" rules out all my mythology answers.honestrosewater said:Heh, Wankel.
These two are real characters; one trails the other and fire trails them both.
I was following most of that and then I remembered the link with extrasolar planets.Mk said:Vulcan, (featuring the god Vulcan at his forge) the largest cast iron statue in the world which was first cast for the 1904 St. Louis Exposition, and displayed on top of Red Mountain in 1938.
There may be a connection with the sun: Atomic bombs harness "the power of the sun", Icarus's wings melted because of the sun... exploding Blue Danube? Heat.
Daedalus, Icarus's father arrived safe in Sicily, where he built a temple to Apollo, and hung up his wings, an offering to the god. Apollo, in modern times has became in part confused or equated with Helios, god of the sun.
Vulcanoids are theoretical asteroids that may orbit in a dynamically stable zone between 0.08 and 0.21 astronomical units from the Sun.
1566 Icarus was an asteroid discovered in 1949 by Walter Baade
That backs up the sun idea more.
"The devil take the waltz, my only regret is for the coda—I wish that had been a success." Strauss once said.
Devil -> Satan -> Hell -> Heat -> Flames -> that stuff
A sketch from Monty Python's Flying Circus takes advantage of the piece's fame, featuring, in typical Monty Python fashion, "the exploding version of the Blue Danube."
So the Blue Danube can explode...

The Lockheed SR-71 Type A "Blackbird," has exactly two pilots, one in front of the other, and fire trails them both. Correct?
That aeroplane doesn't contain nor can hold any weapons, it is only for reconnaissance.Townsend said:To be correct I believe the person in the back is not a pilot but more like a weapons guy..
Officially he is the 'observer' ... he handles the equipment.Mk said:That aeroplane doesn't contain nor can hold any weapons, it is only for reconnaissance.
But now that I think about it, the second guy may not be a pilot. But what is he?
No ... Like another Perter Sellers Movie Chance. "I like to watch." :tongue2:Mk said:My equipment is for the ladies only.
Does it have to do with math? I get where you're going with charachter, and looking for the answer.honestrosewater said:I thought the second guy was the navigator??
None are correct yet. The 2 characters have 22 friends.
