Where can I find the clip of Andy Hurley on the safe sex Cable in the Classroom speical on MTV last night? I don't know what it was called but he, along with members of Liz Phair, OK GO and other random people on the street were talking about safe sex and sex myths. I can't find it anywhere, my google-fu is failing me.

In the clip, he said that he heard that "pulling out was kind of effective."

I can't explain why I need this, but its urgent. Ha.

Has anyone successfully faked their own death?

Has anyone ever succeeded in faking their own death? We've often heard that Andy Kaufman/Elvis/Hendrix/whoever actually lives. I started wondering if anybody famous has ever succeeded in faking their own death. Then, after a quick glance through AskMe, I began to wonder, has anybody at all succeeded in faking their own death for any length of time?

(for those of who don't want to read the AskMe link, the man in the question who attempted to fake his death was found out shortly after the question was posted)

I need help with the name of some apparently obscure song I heard a while back...

I need help with the name of some apparently obscure song I heard a while back... I heard a song about a year ago on a local independent radio station late night music show called Rainbow Road, and given the variety of stuff they play and the fact they have no archive of songs played I can't go back to figure out what it was (and I don't know the exact date for sure).

Anyways, the song was a somewhat country-mixed-jam bit that had a lot of "Andy Griffith Show" references but tied them into smoking marijuana. Does anybody have any idea what I'm talking about?

Wikipedia vandalism

Someone is using tricky html code to vandalize Wikipedia entries. Can anyone look at a page in question and tell me how they are doing it? I was looking up the Wikipedia page for Andy Warhol. If you look at the introduction, you'll see that at the end it reads "And also, he was a homosexual." Thinking this was not only awkward and unessesary but also probably a lame joke someone made, I went to edit it out. However the code on the edit page for that article doesn't have that text. I also copied it into Word and did a search through all the code for "homosexual", with no results.

How is this vandal doing this, and how do I edit it out? I've seen similar sentences in other Wikipedia entries, mostly about artists and writers (unfortunately I did not make notes of which ones they were when I saw them).

Andy Kaufman

Andy Kaufman - is he alive ? or failing that where can i find video clips of his performances on the net ? It was while searching ( not very well ) for clips of Andy Kaufmans performances on the internet that i came across the wiki entry for him ....and if you scroll down and read the excerpt about STEVE ROCCO , then it does sound very Kaufmanesque.
Mefi is well known for its bloodhounds and i was hoping some of you could have a wee look , because i'm really intrigued about it and don't have enough websavvy to think of behind the scenes places to look.
