Hello. I found the following nest/cocoon type thing outside my house. It feels kind of 'paper-like' and is slightly smaller than a football (soccer ball to you yanks). This is in Toronto, btw.
Any ideas? Cheers, snoyes 06:14, 10 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Thanks for all the info! I'll add the best pic (resized of course) to the Vespid page, as I also got opinions on #wikipedia saying that it was most likely a nest of the former. So, here comes the ethical dilemna: Should I go and destroy the nest to make photos of the inside/structure and the Queen to post to wikipedia? I'm tending toward "no". Somehow that makes me feel a little too much like Faust. Of course without the benefit of knowing anything and everything there is to know. ;-) snoyes 06:37, 12 Nov 2003 (UTC)
GRRR! Those paranoid Canadians. Now the nest is gone. So much for my plan then. Thanks again for the help everyone. -- snoyes 18:43, 12 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Does anyone how a bunker differs from a pillbox? thanks, Dori 05:52, Nov 17, 2003 (UTC)
I have recently acquired a sword allegedly from the Han Dynasty period. It was owned by a man named Xiangyu, who took his own life after being invoved in some type of an attempt to overthrow the Emperor Liu Bang. Any info on this character and the role he may have played in history from that era.
Just stumbled upon Greville Janner. This person was made the Lord of Braunstone. The article however states "He was created Lord Janner of Braunstone in 1997." Which is almost definately the wrong way to say that someone was made lord. What is the correct way? -- snoyes 17:22, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
If a person's surname is "D' Souza", can anything be said about his/her race, country of origin, language or religion? -- Ramesh
Does anyone have an idea to translate 政令指定都市 to English? -- Taku
A couple of more
They are terms related to Japanese cities and local governments. -- Taku
Thanks a lot. Particularly, a website http://nippon.zaidan.info/seikabutsu/2000/00086/contents/188.htm glossary seems really good place to find out translation terms. -- Taku
I think it can be translated into English as ?????? :-) dave 01:33, 16 Oct 2003 (UTC)
Why weren't there any semi-automatic rifles in the First World War? They had semi-automatic pistols, but why no rifles? CGS 22:27, 24 Sep 2003 (UTC).
Moved from village pump
In a sequence control,what is better, a PLC or an industrial PC?
I hope that this is in the right place... ^^;;; If it's not, will someone please move it and notify me? Thanks.
I got this from a site with lyrics of a song from Enya... Does anyone have a clue as to what it means?

The symmetry groups of the archimedean solids snub cube and snub dodecahedron are like the symmetry groups of the cube and the dodecahedron, just without the reflections. Would those groups be called "O" and "I"? (Instead of "Oh" and "Ih"?) Κσυπ Cyp 14:43, 22 Nov 2003 (UTC)
