In Twinworld, when you lose your last life and it's Game Over, you are presented with a picture of a wrinkly old hag with a necklace around her neck saying "NORA". Is there any special significance to this? Does the name Nora have any specific significance related to death, defeat, or failure in some culture? Or could this be some sort of in-joke by the game's programmers? In which case, does anyone know why? The game's backstory in the manual makes no reference to anyone called Nora.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEmpUbuhkEU#t=1m44s Could somebody please say what chords the guitarist is playing? I'm thinking a sixth but my ears are terrible. 89.168.109.215 ( talk) 13:27, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
I saw a half hour act tonight of 5 women singing a capella, with occasional use of an instrument I hadn't seen before. It looked like a small briefcase, which opened up slightly, and made a droning sound. One of the performers called it what sounded like "a shrewd box", but I haven't been able to find anything named like that. It opened up on both sides, with some fabric between the doors and inside, but they weren't playing it like an accordion, and it just seemed to be held slightly open to make the droning sound which was rather like a bagpipe drone. There were a number of flat white pieces about 2cm long and 0.5cm wide which could be moved (one of the performers did this at one point, but not while the sound was playing) which were flat upon one of the sides. Does anyone know what it was? Snorgle ( talk) 23:15, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
