Fic research help

Mar 24, 2010 09:42

I could laboriously research the answers to all of these questions myself - and may in fact have to resort to that - but before I do that I thought I would ask my flist first.


    1. Was the wine colored blouse Laura wears while reclining in Bill's rack in 'Taking A Break From All Your Worries' exclusive to that episode or had she worn it before/after?

             2. Does anyone happen to know in which season 2 episode Mary's bracelet makes it's first appearance?

In fact by chance has anyone done an episode by episode inventory of Laura's outfits and noted the first and last appearances of each piece? Anyone?
 

    3. The next one isn't strictly a BSG question, but somehow I suspect one or more of the people on my flist will know the answer to it anyway.   Do pretty much all handcuffs work off the same key? (for non porny example if one security agent hand cuffs a person when transferring custody would he have to remove the cuffs and have the other agent apply his own cuffs?  Or at least send along his keys?  Or would the other agent's key work just as well especially if you assume they have the same standard issue handcuffs?  What about across brands?

             4. I seem to recall reading something once where a president's cabinet could trigger a cabinet meeting by a (greater than simple) majority vote if they thought there needed to be one - rather than just waiting for the President to call for one. It might not have been the U.S. President's cabinet. Heck it might not even have been a cabinet meeting - maybe it was a shareholder meeting for a corporation? Does this sound at all familiar to anyone? If not familiar at least plausible?

5.  Honest to god I used to know this and could with a few minutes research figure it out again but the people on my flist are so smart I'm hoping I won't have to. What's the formula for $240,000 compounded continuously at 10% interest. Pretty sure it involves the use of e but that's as far as I can remember so I defer to any more competent math minds.

As disconnected as they seem yes all of the above questions are for one fic.

One a different note since it's finished I kind of want to pimp out 'Laura's completely and totally canon not at all crack pre-miniseries meeting of …' someplace but I'm not really sure where would be appropriate. Mmegiry is letting me post it to the Roslin/Adar community because Richard Adar is in one chapter. I can't decide if it would be totally inappropriate or just inappropriate to post it to Survival Instinct. Maybe just put up the first few chapters there?  If you're on my flist you've had access to the whole thing.  What's your opinion?
 I know there is a Laura fic community somewhere - though I admit I don't know exactly where, but it's really more of a Bill story so I don't know if it would qualify for posting there. Is there a Bill fic community?  A more general anything goes community? A friendly anything goes community?

TIA

***edit *** I remembered 2 more of the questions I meant to ask.  Post getting too long so putting most of it under a cut.

6.   In Epiphanies what's the name of the flowers seen in Adar's office and again in sickbay in Laura's room?  You can catch a glimpse of them at the very start of this clip of the deleted Bill/Laura scene.  (Not my clip) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWUuH5s6ABo&feature=channel
I'm thinking they are irises? Maybe?

7. I'm trying to remember if Bill usually wears a sidearm as part of his day to day uniform.  He had one in 'Revelations' but that doesn't really count as day to day to me.
