 Trolleybus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Trolleybuses are particularly important in hilly cities, as the electric power is more effective than diesel in climbing steep hills and have better roadway adhesion than streetcars.
While at one time numerous cities operated this mode of transport, it is uncommon today in North America and not expanding in Europe, though it is still a common form of transport in the former Soviet republics, generally occupying the niche between street railways and petroleum-powered buses.
See List of cities with trolleybuses for cities which still have electric trolleybuses and also List of cities that no longer have trolleybuses.

 Trolleybus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some cities, led by the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT—New York), subscribed to the all-four concept of using buses, trolleybuses, trams (in U.S. called streetcars, trolleys or light rail) and rapid transit subway and/or elevated lines (metros) as appropriate for routes ranging from lightly-used to heaviest trunk line.
New trolleybus near Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA Trolleybuses are particularly important in hilly cities, as the electric power is more effective than diesel in climbing steep hills and trolleybuses' rubber tires have better roadway adhesion than streetcars' steel wheels upon steel rails.
Like other electric vehicles, trolleybuses are often seen as more environmentally friendly than hydrocarbon-based vehicles (gasoline, diesel, alcohol, etc.), but the power is not "free", and instead has to be produced at centralised power plants, with its attendant transmission losses.

 Tram   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Tram networks were no longer maintained or modernized, a state of affairs that served to discredit them in the eyes of the public.
A great example of this shift in ideology is the city of Munich, which began replacing its tram network with metro a few years before the 1972 Summer Olympics.
The busiest traditional city tram line in the world is still Route 4/6 in Budapest, Hungary where 50 meter long trains run at 60 to 90 second intervals at peak time and are usually fully packed with people.

The song "Blame Canada" was nominated for an Academy Award, allegedly because it is the least profane of the songs (though "Up There" actually has no profanity at all).
It was the first song with profanity ever nominated for an Oscar, causing some concern about its performance in the Oscar ceremony.
It is difficult to dismiss this claim, considering the film features a song entitled "Uncle Fucka" in the Terrance and Philip movie that uses the word ''fuck'' over 30 times.
