...m.p.h., the skaters shoved, tripped and slugged one another with abandon. The Braves' Ronnie Robinson, Sugar Ray's son and the villain on the current tour, repeatedly locked his arm around an opponent's head and then flipped seat-first onto the track, apparently crunching the noggin under his bottom. He also excelled at kicking rivals in the mouth with his skates and beating them over the head with his helmet...
...costume she wears as ringmistress and owner of an English circus, in which a killer at large perpetrates a parlay of improbable murders. One high-wire artist is garroted by his wire, another is skewered on a bed of bayonets, the manager gets a tent spike neatly through the noggin, and a Lady-Who-Gets-Sawed-in-Half gets sawed in half. In between, the usual circus acts-elephants, horses, dogs, wild animals, aerialists-plus repeated shots of the audience giggling and gasping, pad out the film to the conventional 90 minutes...
...there's one hitch. The doubling of Bottom and Oberon is quite possible--except for one critical scene well along in the play (IV, i), where Bottom, with his noggin transformed into an ass' head, and Oberon must both appear and speak on stage.

...Brazilian centavo is the monetary equivalent of a gnat's noggin. Officially the world's most minuscule denomination, it was-until last week -worth $.0000065, sixty-five one-hundred thousandths of a U.S. cent. Valued at one twentieth of a cent ($.0005) when it was first issued in 1944, the centavo became a victim of Brazil's roaring inflation, and last week the government finally declared it extinct. So is the one-cruzeiro note (worth 100 centavos), which cost four cruzeiros to print. From now on, cruzeiros up to the 500 denomination (value: 33?) will be issued...
