Is it possible to call an airline, more specifically Air Canada, and ask if a specific passenger was able to board his/her plane successfully? I'm guessing the airline could check the passenger manifest with the check-in counter or something; but would they be able to divulge this information to just anyone who calls?

Back in the distant past (1981) I was able to persuade British Caledonian (long since taken over) to tell me that my son was booked out of Dallas for London on the next day's flight. But I doubt it could be done now. 90.9.87.253 ( talk) 15:45, 31 January 2008 (UTC)DT
I haven't edited a page before, so I'm not eager to muck it up, but I'm pretty darn certain that there is no Hagen Dazs flavor called Soyent Green. The prankster may have meant Soylent Green, but that's not really an ice cream either. Would somebody like to fix this? 67.166.93.238 ( talk) 03:21, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

His diction is so immaculate and elocution so flawless--and it sounds to some degree improvised! Have you ever heard any performance that can top Lange?

After an employee's payroll taxes are paid, he puts some of his net income (say, $10,000.00) in an interest bearing bank savings account paying 10% interest per year. Then he closes the account after a year, receiving $11,000.00 ($10,000.00,the original investment [or deposit] and $1100.00 interest). Is it correct to assume he will only be taxed on the $1000.00 interest, not the $10,000.00 original deposit and this is "not" double-taxation? -- Hippidoman ( talk) 07:13, 31 January 2008 (UTC)George
Where can I download the 7 episode of Summer Heights High?? 220.233.83.26 ( talk) 07:15, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Hello,
I am trying to identify one of the fonts that is in use in the Mass Rapid Transit of Singapore. This font is the one the name of the station is written in, but it is different of the one that is used to indicate the way, although it seems to be the same). I have tried a web site (edit section to see url in comment) but without successful outcome.
Here are some links to images in a sufficient resolution, with signages using this font: [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16].
You'll notice the font is sans-serif, non-fixed width, very readable, that vertical strokes are smoothed on the top-left hand corner (see letters B, P). I'm really curious about who developed the font, and what its name is.
Thank you much for your help! ♦ Pabix 07:23, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Can anyone explain how this happened. In my original post [17], I spelled both "There's" ("There's no period ...") and "it's" ("I think it's just a question of ...") with apostrophes, yet they mysteriously vanished and I had to re-insert them. The apostrophe in "... maybe that's the object" was unaffected. -- JackofOz ( talk) 22:39, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Police can be sarcastic and/or funny at times. I have listened to them on a scanner. Once i heard them talking about some kids fishing at some intersection. This was an intersection not even near a river so the other officer came on and said "Well, If they are fishing there, i bet they are having a hard time catching anything. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.210.143.173 ( talk) 03:23, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Well if you do want to find sarcastic police officers, i recommend watching the show speeders, which is basically what the whole thing is about.-- Dlo2012 ( talk) 16:36, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
I know two officers well both were sarcastic.
