"Rules" is a song from KMFDM's 1996 album Xtort. It was also released on a three track EP.
Rules is an athletic game played between two players, on a 64 foot square grid. It is characterized by its use of sticks similar to that of a stringed instrument bow, with the aim of getting one's tip through the other stick's space between the slack (the hair) and the rod (the wood).
The field consists of 16 squares, called cells, with sides of 2 feet arranged in a square. The players start in diagonally opposite squares in the middle. Every 20 seconds, the players must switch into an adjacent cell. A tally runs for 20 minutes in this fashion: 3 tallies making a game. One's goal is to strike their stick through the other's stick, whilst simultaneously preventing their own from being struck. However, the two participants must always be facing each other, and cannot move their stick behind their body.
Laundry Service (Spanish: Servicio de Lavandería) is the fifth studio album by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira, globally released on 13 November 2001 by Epic Records. It is her first album to be primarily recorded in English. After the release of her fourth studio album Dónde Están los Ladrones?, which became a success in Latin America, Shakira was encouraged by American singer Gloria Estefan to record songs in English as she believed the singer had the potential to crossover into the English-language pop market. Shakira was initially hesitant to undertake the project, but later decided to learn English well enough to be able to write songs in the language herself. The title of the album was chosen to reflect Shakira's views on love and music. It was also released as Servicio de Lavandería in Hispanic regions in January 2002. Musically, Laundry Service is primarily a pop rock record but it also experiments with a variety of other musical styles, including Andean music, dance-pop, Middle Eastern music, rock and roll and tango. The lyrical theme of the album is mostly based around love and romance. Every song on the album was written and produced by Shakira.

Muse is a children's magazine published by Carus Publishing, the publishers of Cricket. Launched in January 1997, it is published in Chicago, Illinois, and has readers throughout the United States and around the world. From 1997 to 2006, it was published in collaboration between Cricket and Smithsonian. Recommended for ages nine and above, it features articles about science, history, and the arts. Muse encourages the reader to think about questions that may not have definite answers. Nine cartoon characters, known as the Muses, used to appear in the margins throughout the magazine as well as in the Kokopelli & Company comic strip. Among them, only Urania was one of the original Greek muses; Kokopelli, a trickster, is a god in many native American tribes. They now have a currently unnamed comic that replaced Muse's muses, featuring completely new characters, as well as some new content and slightly different layout, as they recently joined with a sister magazine, Odyssey.
Amdang AKA Biltine (autonym: sìmí amdangtí) is a language closely related to Fur, which together constitute a branch of the Nilo-Saharan family. It is mainly spoken in Chad north of Biltine, and sporadically elsewhere in Ouaddaï. There are also small colonies of speakers in Darfur near Woda'a and Fafa, and in Kordofan in the Abu Daza district and at Magrur north of Bara. Most of the ethnic group now speaks Arabic.
The language is also called Mimi, Mima, or Biltine; the name "Mimi", however, is also applied to two extinct Maban languages of the area, Mimi of Nachtigal and Mimi of Decorse.
Don't keep on asking where I've been
I'm not some guy you discipline
Stop that crying, no use justifying
Baby, I changed the rules
Don't keep me waiting at the door
I'm not some cat that you ignore
Keep on whining and I'll keep on declining
Baby, I changed the rules
You can't stop me from shooting the breeze
I always say and do as I please
But don't stop trying, you know I'm gratifying
Keep the pace, you're in the race
You feel the heat right by my side
Stay close, I'll take you for a ride
Stimulating really intoxicating
Baby, I changed the rules
You can't stop me from shooting the breeze
I always say and do as I please
But don't stop trying, you know I'm gratifying
Keep the pace, you're in the race
You feel the heat right by my side
Stay close, I'll take you for a ride
Stimulating, really intoxicating
Baby, I changed the rules
I changed the rules
