Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good company (must be in Australia, preferably Vic) to order custom Year 12 jumpers - you know the type, with all your names on the back and stuff. Thanks! --

After that little exercise in Yankee enlightenment, we might get back to the question. I don't think recommendation of particular companies is appropriate here, but you will find dozens of listings under "Screen Printers" in the Melbourne Yellow Pages, either hard copy or online, many with web sites. -- Prophys 12:53, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
i've heard of sex changes, but is there such thing as a race change? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.111.190.135 ( talk) 08:47, 16 May 2007 (UTC).
You might want to see our article about the book Black Like Me. There's also Passing (racial identity).

Yes Michael Jackson has vitiligo and in one of the documenaries about him they interviewed his makeup artist who explained that in the beginning she was spending all her time covering up white patches to make Michael black, and over the years as the disease progressed she ended up doing the opposite: covering up the black patches to make Michael white. Certainly we can add a long list of oddeties about Michael Jackson, and we can even be inclined to believe he made himself white, but, with this vitiligo in the mix it seems to me that should be giving him the benefit of the doubt. Personally I believe that if he had to take a shower and not have his clothes on you would find he has a lot of 'black' patches and would look more like a black person.

Circa 1967 I read a brief article about a South African White girl who, after some kinda surgery, grew darker enough that she was reclassified as Coloured (i guess) and needed special approval to go on living with her family. — Tamfang 19:52, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
please help me to find the following. thank you in advance. what i want is all planets, their distance from the sun, diameter, period of revolution, period of rotation, moons and other special characters. 124.43.247.222 12:57, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
What about Sedna
I work for a children's museum and need the following information: where can I find a list of households with children in Palm Harbor, Florida? Is there a Census report that I can purchase? I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you. Lbergeest 17:47, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
I am looking for the definition of an "edgeless city", which I've been told is a small scale and scattered form of commercial development. Perhaps even an example would do... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.69.100.190 ( talk) 19:10, 16 May 2007 (UTC).
While on holiday recently, I took a number of photos of old, rare cars and vans (well, the sort of thing you don't see on Britain's roads very often!). However, I can't positively identify all of them (make and model info, year etc). Last time I uploaded a "mystery car photo" to the Reference Desk, it was correctly identified very quickly, so I'm hoping these won't be too obscure!
Here's the first, then: photographed in Palaiokastritsa, Corfu, it is obviously a Nissan pickup truck of some description; but if anybody could provide a model name/number, an approximate year of manufacture and any other relevant info, I would be most grateful. (I would like to add the image to relevant article/s.) It looks to be late-1970s, at a guess...? Hassocks5489 20:38, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Greetings. A year ago or so I came across a caricature depicting a white male whipping some black (?) children with a whip that looked like the Nike logo, and yelling "Just do it!" It was on one of the many "funny image" sites. I would love to find it again, and I was just wondering if anyone might know where to look for it? – mysid ☎ 21:11, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
I was thinking about creating my concept of Anime, called "Amerime". Well, some anime series have children getting attacked. Is it okay to have the same thing in amerime, at least without blood?
Im wondering if some of your readers may be able to help me. I have a project that requires the use of 12" of prefereably 14" dia drum shells of at least 6 ply (1cm) thickness. I dont need any special finish or holes or anything: just the shells. I live in uk and wondered if there was any supplier of raw drum shells here. Thanks for any info. Drummer boy
Where do i find who made this site for my bibliography?
