Zorro
Zorro ( Spanish for 'fox') is a fictional character created in 1919 by American pulp writer Johnston McCulley, appearing in works set in the Pueblo of Los Angeles in Alta California. He is typically portrayed as a dashing masked vigilante who defends the commoners and indigenous peoples of California against corrupt and tyrannical officials and other villains. His signature all-black costume includes a cape, a hat known as a , and a mask covering the upper half of his face. In the stories, Zorro has a high bounty on his head, but is too skilled and cunning for the bumbling authorities to catch, and he also delights in publicly humiliating them. Because of this, the townspeople started calling him ''"El Zorro"'' due to his foxlike cunning and charm. Zorro is an acrobat and an expert in various weapons, but the one he employs most frequently is his rapier, which he uses often to carve the initial "Z" on his defeated foes, and other objects to "sign his work".

South American Fox
The South American foxes (''Lycalopex''), commonly called ''raposa'' in Portuguese, or ''zorro'' in Spanish, are a genus from South America of the subfamily Caninae. Despite their name, they are not true foxes, but are a unique canid genus more closely related to wolves and jackals than to true foxes; some of them resemble foxes due to convergent evolution. The South American gray fox, ''Lycalopex griseus'', is the most common species, and is known for its large ears and a highly marketable, russet-fringed pelt. The second-oldest known fossils belonging to the genus were discovered in Chile, and date from 2.0 to 2.5 million years ago, in the mid- to late Pliocene. The Vorohué Formation of Argentina has provided older fossils, dating to the Uquian to Ensenadan (Late Pliocene). [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Michigan Goal
In ice hockey, a Michigan goal (also known as a high wrap, a Zorro, or by other names) is a goal scored by an attacker starting behind the opposing net, lifting the puck onto their stick, moving their stick around to a top corner of the net, and shooting the puck into the net at close range. Creation Bill Armstrong, a minor-league hockey player, started practicing lacrosse-style shots for fun while playing for the Albany River Rats. Armstrong asked his head coach, Robbie Ftorek, whether he could try such a shot in a game; Ftorek replied, "You do it so easily, why don't you try it?" Armstrong scored four goals with the move, which he called a "high wrap," leading to appreciation from fans and local media. Mike Legg, a winger for the Wolverines, learned about the high wrap from Armstrong. Before attempting one, Legg was skeptical about the legality of such a goal. While he was a player for the Wolverines, he would ask the referees during warmups whether such a goal would be lega ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Zorro (1985 Video Game)
''Zorro'' is a puzzle-platform game written by James Garon and published by Datasoft in 1985. Versions were released for the Apple II, Atari 8-bit computers, Commodore 64, and Amstrad CPC. A ZX Spectrum port was published in 1986 by U.S. Gold. Gameplay The player's task is, as the title character, to get to the heavily guarded fort and free his beloved from the clutches of the evil Sergeant Garcia. The gameplay is very similar to that of another Datasoft platformer - Bruce Lee. However, ''Zorro'' has a slower pace and more puzzles. These mainly involve collecting items from a specific room in the city, then carrying them and using them in the appropriate place (such as heating up a branding iron in a fireplace and using it on a bull). The game features 20 different locations, including catacombs under the city, an underground lake, and The Ole Hotel. Reception ''Zorro'' received mixed reviews. In 1986, Julian Rignall wrote in ''Zzap!'', "If you like this sort of game then yo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Science & Nature (The Bluetones Album)
''Science & Nature'' is the third album by The Bluetones. It was released on 15 May 2000 on Universal Records. Its offspring singles were " Keep the Home Fires Burning" and "Autophilia". "Mudslide" was released as an EP. Music According to Iain Forrester of ''Stylus Magazine'', ''Science & Nature'' "abandons the sound they stuck to rigidly elsewhere," and "while being successfully aware of their limitations throws everything they can think of ( country, jazz, folk, prog) at melodic pop." He called it "inventive and gently surprising." Jason Damas of AllMusic felt that the album was largely not as new wave-influenced as many suggested prior to release, except on "Mudslide", but did find the album to contain "a bit more of a pop leaning." Drowned in Sound ''Drowned in Sound'', sometimes abbreviated to ''DiS'', is a UK-based music webzine financed by artist management company Silentway.
