A smoker in my philosophy class was discussing the addiction of smoking today. She seemed careless to it, and she unconvincingly told us (many times) that she's tried quitting and is trying. What does the addiction to cigarettes feel like? I was thinking about it and compared it to eating spicy foods with only water to quench your thirst. Milk or dairy products are better for stopping spicy foods, while water just spreads the spice around, but not before some temporary relief. Is this what it feels like to be addicted? Is it like a need you have that you temporarily quench with something that only makes it worse? 70.50.103.86 01:18, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
I added Ambar - War Of The Elementals into Wikipedia and others edited it and added to it and I thought it was all done very well, clean, and proper. Now when I look for it it is gone and I was wondering if I violated any policy by including an online game's information on this site. If I did, it was purely not intended to violate said policy, but I would like to know. I have never submitted or edited anything on wiki before and I only know the online game is family friendly and doesn't even have adult oriented advertisers.
So was it a proper inclusion, or a violation? Ambar has been around MANY years (Copyright ©1999-2006 Darklight Studios).—Preceding unsigned comment added by WildWindwolf ( talk • contribs)
What is the name of the musical piece that is played at the end of the trophy presentation ceremony at every Formula 1 Grand Prix event, when the drivers are on the podium and spraying champagne ?

How could you remove the stems from a leaf?
In the beginning of Jackass 2, when the cast is chased by bulls, a "classis like" song is played. What is this song called and who made it???
I will be flying with CO from Glasgow to Newark, on their (I think) Boeing 757. Will I have my own television on this flight? Thanks, 81.131.129.177 20:04, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
The airline, seat class, and airline would all be critical info to figure this out. You should be able to call the airline and give them your flight number to get the specifics. StuRat 23:11, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
my college professor gave us a scenic painting term...he didn't tell us how to spell it either...phonetically its spelled "shlapetka" ...if anyone can tell me how to spell it correctly and what it is that would be fabulous!
If i shoot a filled gas tanks of car with a pistol (M9 for example), will the car actually explode like depicted in movies? Jamesino 20:34, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

I call a number and receive recorded voicemail telling me I've reached an " Embarked" (voice)mailbox. What is this?
As a starting point for a project, I need to find out about at least one country of the world that is typically affected by flood and drought during the year (for example, drought in summer and frequent floods in winter).
I know of local areas that fit into this category, but for the purposes of the assignment I need to focus on actual countries. (I thought Bangladesh was probably an option, but after reading carefully the article on Wikipedia, I realized that althought floods are definitely a major calamity, drought is not mentioned.) I would be grateful for any suggestions. Thanks in advance. -- Hroswith 21:45, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
