Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

  • On Christmas Eve 1926 at midnight, contralto Ernestine Schumann-Heink sang Stille Nacht in German and English over New York radio. She continued to do this faithfully for decades. During WWII the Christmas Eve cease fire would begin with the sound of her voice. Four of her sons had fought in WWI; three for the Allies and one for Germany.
  • In the CBC radio drama series Afghanada, one of the soldiers comes across a wounded Taliban sniper. The sniper begs for the soldier to kill him, but the soldier decided to get medical help instead. Later on, the soldier gets a note from his sergeant. She says in the note that the soldier has done the right thing and that she has never been prouder of one of her soldiers.
  • At the end of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Earth is blown up yet again, and it's all over. This is where it ends in the book. But then, the Guide comes in and mentions the Babel Fish and its ability to sense inevitable destruction and instantly transport itself, its host, and other lifeforms nearby to safety. They all end up at Milliway's with Zaphod, the dolphins are playing around in the water outside, Marvin has been fixed and found purpose in washing cars, and Fenchurch is a waitress. Just before the ending music, we hear Fenchurch and Arthur making plans to go flying together again.
