I recently came across an obituary for a woman named YuVawn. I am presuming this is a variant spelling of the name Yvonne. A google search for YuVawn turned up only 38 hits, all of which were genealogical or obituary entries. Any help you can provide would be appreciated. 64.179.37.3 00:32, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Why does drinking water while chewing gum make the gum harder (or at least feel harder to chew)? 72.189.138.226 02:40, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
someone should do an experiment, drinking WARM water while chewing gum and see if the gum still feels harder. It would cost a lot of money, but would shed light on a vital aspect of human existence —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.182.100.107 ( talk) 08:31, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
220.238.41.51 05:36, 11 October 2007 (UTC)–I have a problem with quotation marks not appearing when the appropriate key is hit. All other keys work fine. I hit shift+ " but the " does not appear until I hit the space bar or the next letter. This must be a software problem because I have tried three different keyboards and it happens on each one. Not disastrous but frustrating.05:36, 11 October 2007 (UTC) 220.238.41.51
You should probably ask this one on the computer ref desk (there is a link at the top-right of this page). Tell them what software you are using (or does it happen in all software?). SteveBaker 13:22, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Bennybp hit the proverbial nail. If I hit apostrophe and then o or e I get the continental symbol but how do I change it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.104.46.101 ( talk) 04:08, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks a lot. The problem is solved after many years. I hope anyone else with a similar problem reads this.
Hi there
What is Brisbane City Council's (australia) annual fuel and maintenance budget for public transport vehicles, including buses ferries etc? Do you know how this roughly breaks down?
Or any idea where this information is easily available?
Thank you

Can I take the time Sunday to break and separate the egg whites from, say, 30 eggs, putting them into a bottle to pour from throughout the week, speeding up my morning routine and reducing the hassle/mess? How long would egg whites keep outside of their shells? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.0.158.222 ( talk) 09:40, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
In the fridge, in a clean vessel they will last a week. Campers used to break eggs into a jar to save weight and breakages. Why not buy dried egg white powder and reconstitute ? Paul
Is it cheaper? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.0.158.222 ( talk) 12:04, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
no, but that's a good idea! Actually, I want to cut down on cholesterol. 8 eggs a day is huge in cholesterol, but I hear the whites have none. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.182.100.107 ( talk) 14:09, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
it's 40 g of protein, a bit over half of what I need per day while trying to build muscle. (i'm a vegetarian, also diabetic so milk's out). any other suggestions for carb-free protein, other than like powdered whey? 81.182.100.107 17:25, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
You can freeze them too. Frozen egg whites will last for a year, frozen yolks will last for a month or two. Freeze them together and they won't last two weeks, apparently. risk 12:14, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
If one were to, for example, cycle through a dense forest or other ecological habitat in which a large population of small flies resided, and were to open their mouth wide and breath normally, would at some point the accumulation of insects entering their mouth and lungs render them dead?

what is the difference between the USMC SAMR and the DMR? are there any? -- MKnight9989 13:01, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Many years ago I read of a romantic relationship between the brother of Rosalyn Carter and the sister of Yasser Arafat. Does anyone have any information on that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rondo10 ( talk • contribs) 21:30, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
"No capitation, or other direct, tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken."
That's part of Article 1, section 9 of the US Constitution. But what does it mean? Does it mean that to income tax the federal government has to divide the burden by state in proportion to population? So if there were two states: State A has 2/3 of the population and State B has 1/3 of the population then State A would be expected to contribute to 2/3 of the federal income tax? Is this considered impractical because of disparities of per capita wealth between states?
