thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147taru ( talk • contribs) 04:18, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
For Alexander the god, read this article, among many: [1]. And for Caesar, this one: [2]. Good luck. -- Omidinist ( talk) 12:23, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
Remember also that Alexander the Great lived 300+ years before Jesus, and was a polytheist. It probably wouldn't be correct to say that he thought himself to be God (i.e. the big man himself), but rather that he thought himself to be a god (that is, one among many). This probably wasn't so strange then as it sounds now, as Greek Mythology is full of instances of the gods coming down to the mortal realm and impregnating unsuspecting females. ( Heracles is a good example.) The line between mortal and divine was much fuzzier in ancient times than it is in Christian philosophy. -- 128.104.112.147 ( talk) 22:03, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
In movies and TV cop shows we often see police kicking in or breaking down a locked door, to apprehend somebody inside, or to help somebody inside who's maybe tied up or beaten unconscious and can't open the door for themselves. This probably doesn't happen so often in real life, but I'm sure it happens from time to time. We never see the door being replaced, and I've often wondered who is (at least financially) responsible for fixing the door? Is this the police's responsibility? And would it depend on whether or not they had a justifiable reason for their action? Would it vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction? Would a person whose door was kicked off its hinges by the police believing he was their suspect, but was later exonerated of any guilt, have a case for demanding the police pay for the repairs? Or even someone who was later proven to be guilty of whatever the crime was? If the police admit liability for the repairs, do they ever organise the fixing of the door themselves, or do they suggest the owner fix it and send them the bill? -- JackofOz ( talk) 05:56, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
There is a news story about the LAPD's "Wrong Door Unit" who fix doors broken down in error available via google but unfortunately the posting of the URL here hits Wikipedia's blacklist. Google for "Repairs help rebuild LAPD's image when wrong door broken down". Nanonic ( talk) 00:23, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
A friend's house door in London was broken down by the police while they were out. After they returned, and a lot of phone calls, the police conceded that they'd been given a false address by a suspect and paid for the door to be replaced. Warofdreams talk 02:00, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
Here in Quebec, a suspect shot a cop and killed him as self-defence for getting into his house brutally. He was found not guilty by the judge though he faced other charges. [3] [4] 132.206.22.14 ( talk) 18:39, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm looking for a higher res version of the poster at right. Anybody have a clue where I could find such a thing? -- 98.217.8.46 ( talk) 14:44, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
We all know that intellegence officers/spys regularly break certain laws during the performance of their duties for example fraud, deception, forgery etc, but according to MI5/6 they do not murder individuals. My first question is does a specific public domain document list specifically what laws exactly they can and can't break if needs must or is written into the individual laws that intelligence officers can break them? Secondly can we really take their word that they don't murder people, can they really accomplish their (and the governments) goals without resorting to assasination? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.64.62.11 ( talk) 18:23, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

I keep hearing about car dealerships having aquisition sales, how do they work and whats the catch? i find it hard to believe you can walk into a ealership and plop down $69 and walk away with a car.. is their something more to it ? Mamat1218 ( talk) 18:37, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
I bought a CD player in 1985. The remote still works with the original batteries. Is this a record, or is it just a CD player? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.76.140.78 ( talk) 22:42, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
well, does it play records, or CDs? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.188.139.77 ( talk) 23:12, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
Yeah but can anyone beat 23 years on the same set of batteries? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.76.140.78 ( talk) 23:48, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
It is literally beyond belief that the 1985 batteries still work. Perhaps someone replaced them and you were not aware of it. Edison ( talk) 04:49, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
Whilst looking in the mirror the other day, I noticed that I have rather a large amount of unsightly hair growing out of my anus. As a woman who likes to look her best in that area for her husband and other men friends, I would like to get it removed without visiting a clinic for waxing etc. Any advice? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.76.140.78 ( talk) 23:16, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
