The question is very simple: Weight by weight, which one product contains more tomato? 100% pure canned/ diced tomato in tomato juice or a typical mass-produced inexpensive supermarket-grade non-gourmet pasta sauce (e.g., Ragú, Hunt's)?
Well, I am clueless. -- Toytoy ( talk) 00:46, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
A can of thick tomato paste can easily be much higher than 100% tomato. To make 1 unit's thick tomato paste (in volume), you may need several units of fresh tomato (in volume).
Now, let's assume it takes about 1 cubic meter's fresh tomato to make 1 cubic meter's canned tomato in tomato juice. How much tomato does it take to make 1 cubic meter's typical commercial tomato-based pasta sauce? More than 1 cubic meter or less than 1 cubic meter? -- Toytoy ( talk) 17:14, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
You're making this too complicated. Take a tomato (or a couple of tomatoes). Weigh it, cut it up and or smash it to a pulp. Air it out to dehydrate it while simultaneously dehydrating portions of the products in question whose initial weights are equal to the initial weight of the tomato. When the samples are dry, which is when they look like fruit-roll-ups (you may be able to measure moisture content with a voltage meter; the less resistance, the more water), you weigh them and then you eat them. You have no way of telling what percentage of the sauce is non-tomato material, such as onions and stuff but I'd figure it's maybe 5%-10% of the weight. The non-sauce samples may taste better with some ranch dressing or something. - LambaJan ( talk) 02:38, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Does anybody have any 5 gum on them, particularly Rain? I need to know if it contains any xylitol, and if so, how much. Thanks. -- 76.16.186.86 ( talk) 02:03, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

And how does one develop this muscle? Acceptable ( talk) 02:35, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

What kind of fancy technology do they have in restaurants now? I know people can drag their laptops into Starbucks and get free wireless 'net, but what other stuff is there in terms of networking? Also, what's going to happen in regards to Microsoft Surface? Avnas Ishtaroth ( talk) 05:53, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
How does one go about putting fancy fonts, colours etc. into their signature? Is it HTML, BBCode or some Wikimarkup? Does anyone have a list of functions, thanks. Avnas Ishtaroth ( talk) 05:56, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
Thankyou! I'm happy now. Avnas Ishtaroth drop me a line 11:24, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
Can anyone tell me Jesus' adult height and weight, I want to be able to claim that I'm bigger than him.... failing that where can I find data on the average height and weight of middle eastern males in that period so I can at least say that I'm more than likely bigger than jesus (was)?
where can i find the map of small countries in a reasonable large size? thank you. 124.43.65.210 ( talk) 08:13, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
Is he? I would call him mulatto and it is not meant as an insult, just fact.

can anyone tell me what year driving licences were given out free in ireland. Bigbuffer ( talk) 13:39, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
Has there ever been an attempt to fully automate a fast-food restaurant ? They could have customers enter the number of their choice, say a double cheesburger, then select None, Normal, or Extra for each topping, like tomatoes, and a machine could then create it for them. I'd think it might be popular, just due to the novelty. StuRat ( talk) 13:55, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
Does anyone take Conservapedia seriously? Most of the articles just seem so ridiculous that it's hard to work out whether they're genuine or satire inserted by the "liberal" conspiracy. I cannot imagine anyone actually suggesting that it should be used as anything other than a source of mis-information. Jooler ( talk) 15:36, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
There's probably somebody, but I can't imagine who Emma Hordika ( talk) 15:52, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
There are an ever-increasing group of Wikipedia knock-offs meant to serve specific agendas (of course, they always posit Wikipedia is the one having the agenda, but anyway). There are Conservative ones and White Supremacist ones and probably others I don't know about. As far as I can tell, they have two audiences: the people who write them (usually a handful of people, no more), and people who are unsavvy about the ways of the internet. For example, one of the slanderous political e-mails going around lately is about Obama's mother, and it looks, superficially, like it came from Wikipedia. (My grandmother even forwarded it to me.) But in reality it's from one of the white supremacist Wikis and is authored by an admitted member of a neo-Nazi group. Was I fooled? No, I'm internet savvy, and I know better than to trust ANYTHING in one of those political e-mails, especially without doing a little bit of research into its origins/veracity first. But my grandmother? She has no clue. She only figured out there was a site called Wikipedia a few months ago and she wouldn't have the slightest idea how it worked. As far as she's concerned any site that calls itself an encyclopedia is set up along the same old lines as her print encyclopedias. She's not dumb, but she's very old, and in her lifetime has watched computers go from something that fills entire rooms to something small and strange on a desk. She, unwittingly, is one of the audiences for these splinter encyclopedias. Which is depressing, I guess. -- 98.217.8.46 ( talk) 16:28, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
Maybe it'd be taken a little more seriously if he didn't think the Axiom of Choice was a liberal conspiracy. (He doesn't like it, fine, but what the hell's political about it?) -- Random832 ( contribs) 17:23, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
When I last visited Australia it seemed as up to date at the rest of the modern world, so why does the stereotype that Australia is 10 years behind everyone else still persist? Are there any cases where this is indeed still true; fashion, music, industry, etc? Any other countries like this, Egypt, South Africa, Spain? Dark Angel X5 Max ( talk) 19:13, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
Can I get back to you on that, say August 1st, 2018? DOR (HK) ( talk) 04:30, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
I couldnt contact you any other ways else. so. Your page about the mayflower is wrong and i cant change it because there is a lock on the page. I have been to where the pilgrims sailed from IN ENGLAND. I am half British. The pigrims sailed from IMMINGHAM england. not southampton. I have touch the rock that is there memorial. LOOK IT UP. thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kungfu445 ( talk • contribs) 20:31, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
