In the movie, it would have been historically accurate, if not very practical, to say you made saltpeter by "treating soda niter with potash."

So, as far as Africa is concerned, they have some numbers- as does everyone else. They can't use Africa as a financial profit center- they will take a financial loss the bigger they get there. The locals are probably of the "sprang up fast in shallow ground" category, and will just go to the cult down the block as soon as twi falters, wherever the rice is being served. In the US, numbers are in the HUNDREDS, NOT the thousands, so lots of advertising about either big numbers in a Congo, or how numbers don't matter. Right after 4/5 of twi left, lcm pushed how numbers didn't matter with God, so I expect more of the same now.

So, they're trying what worked in the 1960s and 1970s in the US to increase numbers. That, more than anything, shows how utterly out of touch they are. Then again, the people at the top may just want to keep the lights on until they can squirrel away a nest egg and extract all the financial value they can out of twi, then split and not care if the doors shut or not.

Next movie. -According to this movie, saltpeter is made "by treating sodium nitrate with potassium chloride, of course." However, that's not what those chemicals would have been called, nor was that how saltpeter would have been made. -A fist-fight breaks out between 2 characters after a series of insults was exchanged. The one that sparked the first punch was "LAWYER!" Both men were actually lawyers in that exchange. -The big chart that appears so conspicuously was added to help the audience keep track of what was going on. -The theatrical release of this movie left out at least one scene, allegedly at the request of the sitting president who thought it was aimed at him. If that's true, the request wasn't made at the time the film was being prepared for general release. (The current versions include the scene.)

Togo? *looks up Togo* 44 languages, the official language is French. 28% Roman Catholic, 9% Protestant, 5% unaffiliated/other Christians. (20% Sunni Muslims, 5% no affiliations.) However, besides the 38% traditional animists, many of the "official" Muslims, Catholics, Protestant continue to perform indigenous practices/animism. With a total population of about 8 million, I think having all of that is quite an accomplishment. Once upon a time, vpw supposedly made a huge deal and said mission work to countries with results like that were a SHAM- he referred to the "converts" as "RICE CHRISTIANS" and said they were only Christians in name, and only for the food. As for "the Congo", was that "the Republic of the Congo", or is twi supposedly back in "the Democratic Republic of the Congo?" BTW, Mrs Wolf is fond of saying that if you have to put "Democratic Republic" in your country's name, it is neither a democracy nor a republic. (As a dual citizen of a republic and a democracy, she should know.)

Correct, in case it wasn't obvious. (The Jimi Hendrix Experience, for those who care.)

Ah, the Spanish-speaking countries are usually "EL CAMINO". ("The path".) "El Camion" would translate to "The Truck."

Next song. "I said 'where you goin' with that gun in your hand?' 'Alright. I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady, you know I caught her messin' 'round with another man.' "

Be careful. "LIFE IN THE FAST LANE" will surely make you lose your mind, even if you were one of THE EAGLES.

Correct! The answer was "Sherlock Holmes." (The Guy Ritchie one with RDJr and Jude Law as "Hotson" (as RDJr called him in jest.)

No. Wrong movie, and wrong continuity. Right time-frame, approximately.

"There is nothing more elusive than an obvious fact." "Whatever he was working on, he obviously succeeded." "How do you know?" "Otherwise, he'd still be alive." "Well, I may not have a choice, hm? After all, I may be paying the rent on my own, soon. Thanks to you." "Get that out of my face." "It's not in your face, it's in my hand." "Get what's in your hand out of my face." "More importantly, let's see what he was trying to dispose of." "Facts, gentlemen, facts. I cannot make bricks without straw." "Why are you always so suspicious?" "Should I answer chronologically or alphabetically?" "You know, in another life, you'd have made an excellent criminal." "Yes, and you, sir, an excellent policeman." "It's a matter of professional integrity! No girl wants to marry a doctor who can't tell if a man's dead or not!"
