How many and which mario songs are based on each other? I know of two: the "ba da baduba pa! bodu ba ba bi da da!" and "bo do bo do do! bo do du do! do!"-- Paraguayan1 00:20, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
If in the course of a criminal investigation, law enforcement decides not to press charges for a crime committed, what does it become? If the wronged party wants to press charges anyway does it still carry a possible criminal sentence, or does it become a civil matter? And how long before the crime disappears into the mists of time and the wronged party can no longer file a lawsuit? -- froth t 03:16, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
A few are. Lacenaire was one of the worlds cleverest criminals and he got caught, because he got angry with a colleague after he ran away and locked the door during a crime.

Hi, I read the Drinking game article, but it seems to be a lot different from what people play in Korea. In Korea, the objective isn't to drink more, but to avoid drinking! Well, maybe not, but the drinking is the penalty, not the objective. Is there a separate term for such games?
An example: "369": People sit in a circle, and the turns go anti-clockwise, as in all Korean games. People take turns to say numbers starting from 1, but when numbers that are a multiple of 3 should be said, the person should clap instead of saying a number. Any error results in drinking..
A variant is "Go Back Jump". When a number is either a multiple of 3 or a number containing 3 (such as 3, 13 or 31) then that person says one of "go", "back" or "jump". If that person says go, the play continues in the same direction. (If a person said go after 2, then the person on his left says 4.) If the person said "back" after 2, then the rotation goes in the other direction, so that the person who said 2 has to say 4, and the person who said 1 has to say 5. In that case, the person to the right of the starting player (who shouldn't say 6, because it's a multiple of 3) should say either go, back or jump. People who make mistakes all have to drink a glass of beer (or something similar.) When someone says jump, a person is skipped.
Do people play these sort of games, where the penalty is to drink? -- Kjoon lee 08:56, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
Geez games involving numbers with drinking as the penalty would have me blind drunk by the end of it... -- 124.180.37.239 13:13, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
In your information on essential oils you state "The smoke from burning essential oils may contain potential carcinogens, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)." I was wondering about a couple of things. Firstly, which exact essential oils are potential carcinogens. Secondly, is it only the burning of the essential oil that can make it carcinogenic, or can this still happen when the oil is simply heated to a temperature of no more than 80 degrees; that is warmed, not burned? If you don't know the answers, do you know where I could look to find them?

New Mexico magazine runs a regular feature called "One of our 50 states is missing", in which they report on American visitors, potential tourists, etc., who seem to believe that New Mexico is part of Mexico. Corvus cornix 02:02, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
Are there any:
1) Academic programs
2) In the United States
3) Accredited by an accrediting agency approved by the US Department of Education
4) Which grant degress on any of (Associates, Bachelors, Masters, or Doctoral) level.
5) And grant this degree either wholly or substantially based upon test scores and/or submitted theses/projects (with or without defense before faculty.), rather than attending and passing a certain set of courses and fulfilling other requirements.
I.e. I'm looking to see if there are any "legit", non-diploma mill schools which will grant a degree to someone who applies, shows up, sits for exams, and produces a thesis or research paper.
