When was the Depreciation Recovery Tax Authorized? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.228.84.144 ( talk) 01:54, 7 May 2007 (UTC).
Canada has passed a law that will protect BIGFOOT. Sean Hannity got wind of it and indicated that they're "full of it" on his show, which aired at 9pm EDT today on FOX News. Can this be placed in the bigfoot article ? I'd do it myself, but my ISP has royally *bleeped* up. 205.240.146.147 02:07, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
By law, any petition carrying a certain number of names received by a Member of Parliament **MUST** be brought up in the House of Commons. The only exceptions are petitions asking for illegal acts to be undertaken (ie pro-pedophilia, etc.). The MP who received the petition had NO choice but to bring it up in the House. On most days there are between 10 and 20 petitions read into the record. This is no big deal. -- Charlene 01:24, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi,
I am new to the tri-state area, and I can't get over how many towns, roads, rivers etc there are that end in "kill". Is it as easy as it appears at first glance: these are places where people, animals and inanimate objects meet their untimely demise, or is there something else that contributes to this grisly convention?
Thanks!

What is the name of the fastener system commonly used in self-assembly furniture to join two pieces of wood at right angles. It consists of two parts, a long basically cylindrical section up to a few inches long with a small screw-thread on one end, a long plain section and a 'head' shaped similarly to the end of a jack plug at the other end, this screws into the first piece of wood. The other part is shaped not dissimilarly to a cable drum (asside: why do we not have an article or a redirect here?) and fits into a circular hole in the second piece of wood. The long part of the fastener is inserted into a pre-drilled hole in the second piece of wood at right angles to the circular hole containing the second part of the fastener. When the two bits of wood are together, the second part of the fastener is rotated (e.g. with a screw driver) which grips the neck of the first part of the fastener, securing the two pieces of wood together. I have tried searching under every description I can think of and have browsed every article in category:fasteners and category:screws and not found it. Without being able to identify it more succinctly than above searching has not been particularly fruitful! Thryduulf 21:55, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
