I recently saw an advertisement on a billboard for a clown college, and it got me thinking:
I appreciate any help anyone gives, and for satisfying my curiosity. -- 71.98.21.95 00:13, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

How is it possible that there is so much explicit material available on the internet ? I refer specifically to the type which is obviously filmed or photographed under "professional" conditions (thus excluding 'amateur' stuff). Also not referring just to pornography, but also for e.g. to nude pin-ups etc. Surely the models / actors / stars need to be paid for their work, as would in many cases the photographer, studio etc. Just doesn't make economic sense to give it all away for free ... -- 196.208.62.181 04:10, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
I am specifically looking for a area code border map similar to what the U.S. Post office has for zip code maps. Is there a website with this resource somewhere?
Well, I am actually looking for a map i can zoom into that would show an area code border. I travel between zip codes and would like to know when i crossed the "Border"
I was thinking of Wisconsin, Here we have one area code in the one area. I can't find a detailed zoomed in map.
For some inconceivable reason, wearing socks in my room builds up massive static electricity. My feet often get cold as a result. Any suggestions as to how to keep them warm?-- the ninth bright shiner talk 05:01, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
As a digression, I heard that building up static electricity would give an impact when kissing, although I haven't tried it out... =S 惑乱 分からん 11:36, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
It's usually quites simple to deal with this. One: raise the humidity if you can. Once you get below 20% bad things happen. Two: use fabric softener. Put some in a bottle and spray it on the carpet, and have it in your socks. I got a new treadmill, and belt turned into a giant Van de Graaff generator. Just sprayed the softener around, and it became a treadmill again. -- Zeizmic 17:50, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
In the recent Doritos Super Bowl ad "Live the Flavor", there is some classical music but I can't remember what the background music is. I watched the ad again on YouTube and searched Google and it did not help me. It is vaguely familiar but I can't name it. What is the background music? -- Blue387 05:32, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Lately I've been hearing about an Israeli man who plans on marketing flying cars ( http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&q=flying%20cars&btnG=Google+Search&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wn).
I am curious for some diagrams besides the one I found on http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,249082,00.html#. Does anyone know of any? Thanks. -- Proficient 05:43, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Does anybody know what the song is on the latest Australian Pepsi advertisement and who sings it? -- Candy-Panda 06:42, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Does anyone know any website with full-length documentaries? My idea is to have something to watch on the computer while I work with my dumbbells, so if you come up with another possibility... Wikipedia is nice, but needs way too much interaction. :) Thank you. -- Taraborn 12:18, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Are new cities still being founded? I mean building a city from scratch, in a place that only has farmlands or is uninhabited. Or is the world now full of cities? JIP | Talk 19:03, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Are there any legal limits on the use of ™ and ® trademark symbols? How are they different? What does SM mean, and when can it be used? C. M. Harris Talk to me 22:01, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
® is specifically for a registered trademark. ™ is for any trademark; --Anonymous, Feb. 7, 08:15 (UTC).
Do you mean that if I ran a company, I could slap a ™ symbol on anything I made? C. M. Harris Talk to me 20:04, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
That's a legal question, so you want a lawyer if you really need to know (and it may vary from place to place). But my layman's understanding is that the answer is yes, you can claim a trademark on something (that is, something suitable, like a brand name) without registering it. The thing about trademarks is that they have to be defended if anyone challenges them, or they go away, and registering them is probably good tactics in any case. --Anonymous, February 8, 2007, 01:36 (UTC).
Is there any trademark you can't register? C. M. Harris Talk to me 20:19, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
