In the original book by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919], the Wizard removed the Scarecrow's head, for adding bran, needles, and pins to top out the straw. The Scarecrow felt that the Wizard had given him a brain, because Dorothy Gale noticed how the top bulged out. The Tin Woodman noticed the needles and pins sticking out of his friend's head. The Wizard explained that they showed the Scarecrow's sharp wit. In the 1939 film version, the Wizard gave a paper by which the Scarecrow had an honorary Th.D., or Doctorate in Thinkology. The Scarecrow immediately put his finger to his head, and made the impressive-sounding observation of the sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle equaling the square roots of the remaining side. Hardly! For example, a triangle that's 36 x 49 x 64 has the square roots of 6, 7, and 8. Adding 6 to 7 doesn't make 8, but 13. Adding 7 to 8 doesn't make 6, but 15. And adding 8 to 6 doesn't make 7, but 14. Instead, the true statement is the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equaling the sum of the squares of the other two sides. For example, a triangle that's 3 x 4 x 5 has the squares of 9, 16, and 25. The hypotenuse is the longest side. And adding 9 to 16 makes 25.

Why is credit not given to Rick Springer not given credit for Ramones brain drain logo?

Rick Springer is often not credited for the Ramones' "Brain Drain" logo because the design was primarily associated with the band's visual identity and branding, which was heavily influenced by multiple collaborators. Additionally, the Ramones' frontman, Dee Dee Ramone, was credited for the album's artwork concept, overshadowing Springer's contribution. As a result, his role in creating the logo has been largely overlooked in discussions about the band's visual legacy.


What is Dorothy's last name in 'The Wizard of Oz'?

Gale is the last name that Dorothy has in both the original 1900 book edition and the beloved 1939 film version of "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, Dorothy is presented as an orphan girl being raised by her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em. Dorothy's adoptive or foster parents are given no last name. There also is no explanation as to whether the elderly couple really is related to Dorothy and if so, in what way and on which side of the family.But later on in the Royal Histories of Oz series, author and series originator Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919) has Uncle Henry speak of the strong resemblance between Dorothy and her mother. This may favor an interpretation of Uncle Henry as being the brother of Dorothy's mother.

How does Dorothy get the broomstick in the Wizard of Oz?

No, in the book; yes, in the film. Dorothy and her pet dog Toto - and her friends the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion - all have requests for the services of the Wizard of Oz. The Wizard says that he will fulfill the requests, in exchange for a service rendered by them on his behalf. That service is the death of the Wicked Witch of the West, in the book version by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919]. The service is the securing for the Wizard of the broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West, in the posthumous 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz.

What are three useless facts about The Wizard of Oz?

One useless fact is the Wizard's putting a mixture of bran, needles, and pins in the head of the Scarecrow. He then explains, "Hereafter you will be a great man, for I have given you a lot of bran-new brains." The second useless fact is the Wizard's putting a sawdust-filled silk heart inside the Tin Woodman. He then comments, "[N]ow you have a heart that any man might be proud of." Hardly! The third useless fact is the Wizard's having the Cowardly Lion drink a liquid that he pours from a green bottle, into a green-gold dish. The Lion snffs it in the way that animals do when they don't like something. But he drinks all when the Wizard advises, "... courage is always inside one; so that this really cannot be called courage until you have swallowed it." After the three guinea pigs leave, the Wizard smirks over the just desserts to those who expect to be given what can't be done.


What did the Wizard say in The Wizard of Oz?

The Wizard of Oz lets Dorothy, the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion each know that he can do nothing to help them until they eliminate the Wicked Witch of the West. Once the foursome, and Toto, kill the Witch, the Wizard supposedly grants the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion what they want. In so doing, he gives little speeches of explanation for what he's doing. In the film, for example, he gives the Scarecrow a diploma. In the original book version, he fills the Scarecrow's head with bran, and explains that the Scarecrow has bran-new brains. And then the Wizard tells Dorothy that she's getting back home by way of a hot air balloon ride with him. The Wizard gives a farewell speech at the time of the balloon launching. Toto jumps out of the basket, Dorothy runs out to catch her pet dog, and the balloon takes off.
