Does Lexington, KY have suburbs? Heegoop, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Yes, it does! Ericthebrainiac ( talk) 01:08, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Since Lexington has suburbs, what are some of them? Heegoop, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
There is also an urban growth boundary for Lexington that limits suburban sprawl to the east, west and north, where most of the historic horse farms are located at. To the south are "replaceable" tobacco farms, and where the soil qualities are typically poorer -- i.e. not as calcium enriched. The counties surrounding Lexington are Woodford Co., Scott Co. and Clark Co. that have strict zoning policies; Jessamine Co. and Madison Co. have more lax, and if you look at an aerial, you can see Jessamine County's sprawl begin just south of the Fayette County border (much worse now than in the aerials, which were taken ~2001). seicer | talk | contribs 12:28, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Let’s say a person has a bunch of documents they would like to be released only after their death. Where is the best place to put them? Some kind of safe deposit box I would assume, but I think it’s unlikely that the local Bank of America branch will still be there in 60 years or whatever. Also, can a person pay for a safe deposit box for x number of years in advance, and can they then specify that the contents be transferred to the nearest living relative or some institution? -- S.dedalus ( talk) 01:47, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Why fire is and was used as a classical element other then magma??
Fire is the heat and light energy released during a chemical reaction, its not like water, wind and earth that is something found in the nature, well you can say that some of those or all of those are made with a reaction, but those 3 you can find normaly on the nature. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.79.63.139 ( talk) 03:13, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Until rather recently in history -- a few centuries or so -- everyday human life was intimately involved with and vitally dependent on fire, both small ones like hearth fires, and large ones like landscape fires (to, eg, create rough pasture, etc). Given the extreme importance of fire to human life going back perhaps a million years, and fire's strikingly unusual behavior and sheer power, it would seem odd to me if it was not considered "elemental".

Before takeoff, airline (e.g. Jet Airways, India) crew instructs passengers about how to use life jackets in case of emergency. They specifically instruct not to blow life jacket while inside airplane, and expect passengers to open it only at the emergency exit door or after getting out of plane. Knowing that passengers will be in panic, they may struggle or fail to blow jackets at the last moment and suffer more injury, is it not better for them to be ready with blown up jacket while plane is preparing to land? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.129.237.147 ( talk) 04:04, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Is there any statistics about how many times airline crew have announced emergency, and how many of them actually resulted in emergency exits? Are blown jackets reusable? If not, it will be loss for airline? Just kidding :-) I am sure, safety takes precedence over cost. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.129.237.147 ( talk) 10:25, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
I was reading about the Sten gun and was doing some thinking. According to Eric Bergerud in his book on the Pacific War, Touched by Fire, Thompson submachine guns were issued to a small group of soldiers, notably mechanized infantry. American officers carried pistols and some carried M1 carbine. Regarding the Sten gun, were they issued to NCO's like the MP40 or to officers? Did the British Army issue submachine guns like the Americans or like the Germans? (I noticed that I have a toy soldier showing a soldier, presumably an officer, carrying a Sten.) -- Blue387 ( talk) 04:41, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
The British army has been, and is still, late in taking up automatic weapons. During WWII the issue didn't come up until the enemy showed how effective sub-machine guns were. The the Sten was devised in a hurry. A very cheap weapon to make it was little more than a pipe with a spring loaded firing pin. Notoriously easy to let off a round in error. Standard issue was 2 Stens to a platoon of 10 at the end of WWII. Having used one I can say that I felt safer with a Lee Enfield rifle ! 86.209.28.101 ( talk) 14:15, 14 May 2008 (UTC)DT

Why do cafe's offer a wooden stick to stir coffee?
A number of reasons come to mind:
To reduce cost - Then why do they offer you a metallic spoon with Tea instead?
Eco friendly - Plastic can be recycled now also, so why offer a tall thin wooden stick?
Tall coffee cups - Understandably a long stick will work when stirring a long drink, more than the regular tea spoon, but why a flat ended stick?
Stains - Coffee stains spoons...but so does Tea (if not more).
So:
Has it derived originally from the taste of coffee, and trying to prevent any alteration in the taste possibly made by a metallic spoon? If so, why don't the spoons alter the taste of Teas?
Is it just another conformity that we have adapted to? If not, then what is the answer? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.146.233.171 ( talk) 10:30, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Is it illegal to be in possession of a real human skull? Would displaying it on your mantelpiece also be illegal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Terror toad ( talk • contribs) 10:41, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
I should think the age would be a factor too.Having a 15th century skull sitting around probably wouldn't interest the authorities(the archaeologists might want you to put it in a museum or something similar),if the skull was a couple of weeks old,they'd want to know whose it was and how you came to have it Lemon martini ( talk) 11:59, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
It is not illegal in most US states to buy, possess, or display a human skull. There even are online places to buy them, like the amazing Bone Room in Berkeley, California, which has a wide collection of all sorts of bones and skeletons, including human skulls. They have a nice FAQ on the legality of owning human bones in the US. (In the Bone Room's store, there are actually little bottles full of human finger bones, only a dollar apiece or so! It's like a witches' store of yore—check it out if you are even in the area, its one-of-a-kind amazing!) -- Captain Ref Desk ( talk) 13:45, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

What are some points for having soft drink at schools and shouldn't be banned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.182.166.206 ( talk) 11:46, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
I think it depends on the age of the student. A 17-year-old is different than a 5-year-old. I think the case could be made that a high schooler should be able to make his/her own decisions on something as basic as what to drink at lunch. If a simple can of Coke provides a bit of relief from the oppressive nature of high school, perhaps we should allow students this one indulgence. -- Mwalcoff ( talk) 15:19, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
If you are arguing in favor of soft drinks at school, and you are a teenager, it might be useful to consider the possibility that you are an example of someone who is not yet developmentally able to make the decision to eat healthy food instead of sweet/fatty/salty junk food, and thus you may be someone who still needs adult control over your eating from your parents and your school. Many teens, without such control, would eat nothing but candy, pizza, and cheeseburgers, and would become ill while strenuously denying that their diet was related to their bad mood, poor grades, and blotchy skin. - FisherQueen ( talk · contribs) 17:29, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
I think that in high schools soda machines should not be banned. The reason is they are young adults. They should be making their own nutritional choices. They should be making their own choices. People treat teenagers like kids. Yes they are kids, but they are becoming adults as well. It is time to treat these kids as such. We should be treating teenagers as what they are young adults or mostly young adults. Soda shouldn't be banned. I think its a bit ironic, but they had banned soda in a school I know. Yet, the teachers in the teacher lounge guess what kinda vending machine they have...a soda vending machine. How hypocritical and ironic is that? They aren't being very good role models are they. 71.142.222.245 ( talk) 03:37, 15 May 2008 (UTC)Cardinal Raven
We may not provide them cigarette machines. But society does. They have a decision to smoke or not to smoke. Society, stores, etc. provide cigarettes they make the decision themselves. It should the same way with food. I am an adult. I make my decision on what I am going to eat. Whether it be healthy or unhealthy I live with my consequences of my choices. And its a little silly to say kids or teenagers cannot have a soda or unhealthy food when the teacher lounge has soda and unhealthy food. Even the "healthy" food they choose for their machines aren't that healthy. Reduced fat Cheez-Its. Yeah less fat. Its silly. 71.142.222.245 ( talk) 05:58, 15 May 2008 (UTC)Cardinal Raven
I was talking for teenagers in high school. I was talking about teenagers here. Not little children that run around all over the place. I was talking about high schoolers. As I said before they are practically adults. They are young adults. They should be treated as so. They don't need someone to hold their hand and say "You can't drink that its not good for you health." or "You can't eat that because its unhealthy." They will make that decision for themselves. Its their body and its their choices they have to live with. If you make something a forbidden fruit, you can't drink that because its unhealthy, then the more they will want it. The more they will drink it. The more they will break the rules. Instead of banning it give them other options as well. With the little children say something to them so that they understand their choice. For children always let them know they have that option, but at least try to make understand the consequences of that option. For high schoolers they don't need mommy and daddy telling them what they can drink and what they can't drink. They don't need the school to hold their hand as well and tell them the same thing. They are high schoolers after all. 71.142.222.245 ( talk) 15:38, 15 May 2008 (UTC)Cardinal Raven

Hi. i was just wondering if there is such thing as a stadium anywhere in the world that is just used for concert purposes, no sports whatsoever. And yes, it has to be a stadium. Whether there is or not, does anyone think it is possible to have the mosh pit in this stadium the area where the musicians perform instead of on a stage? The reason I'm asking is mainly because I'd like to know if fans would like the first surround sound concert where instead of the amps being where they are performing, they would be built already with the stadium all around the building? Jwking ( talk) 18:54, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Boy - have I discovered a monopoly? I want to buy 4 good seat tickets (evening performance) for Les Mis at the Queen's Theatre in London for 18th October this year as a gift for my daughter's graduation and have tried every site I can find online. The tickets are available but the sites ALL have the irritating habit of defaulting to the BEST (and most expensive) in the house. OK, that's business - BUT - when I order them, I am told each ticket will have a booking fee AND a postage fee added, which takes the cost to nearly £70 each. I mean, come on, how can each ticket costing nearly £60 have a booking fee of over £6.50 added, PLUS a postage fee of over £3 ??? And why can I not choose other, less expensive seats in the house that night??? If this isn't another example of RIP-OFF Britain, I don't know what is. So, I went to a Travel Agency who said they could buy tickets for me - but ONLY as part of a whole-trip package? Hello - do I have FOOL tattooed on my forehead??? Another Travel Agent offered to try to get me my tickets but their ticket agent said they had not been allocated ANY for the whole of October this year. So do you folks have any advice for a poor pensioner who lives in the far Arctic wastes of the North of Scotland for whom a trip to London (a nerve shattering 400 miles)costs more than a trip to the moon and back, and for whom a ticket to a show I have already seen 4 times around the UK costs more than a ticket to the Oscars???

With the little children say something to them so that they understand their choice. For children always let them know they have that option, but at least try to make understand the consequences of that option. For high schoolers they don't need mommy and daddy telling them what they can drink and what they can't drink. They don't need the school to hold their hand as well and tell them the same thing. They are high schoolers after all. 71.142.222.245 ( talk) 15:38, 15 May 2008 (UTC)Cardinal Raven

Hi. i was just wondering if there is such thing as a stadium anywhere in the world that is just used for concert purposes, no sports whatsoever. And yes, it has to be a stadium. Whether there is or not, does anyone think it is possible to have the mosh pit in this stadium the area where the musicians perform instead of on a stage? The reason I'm asking is mainly because I'd like to know if fans would like the first surround sound concert where instead of the amps being where they are performing, they would be built already with the stadium all around the building?

No I was actually wondering if fans would like it, like does music sound better coming from just one spot or does it sound better around the building you figure? Jwking ( talk) 19:49, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Boy - have I discovered a monopoly? I want to buy 4 good seat tickets (evening performance) for Les Mis at the Queen's Theatre in London for 18th October this year as a gift for my daughter's graduation and have tried every site I can find online. The tickets are available but the sites ALL have the irritating habit of defaulting to the BEST (and most expensive) in the house. OK, that's business - BUT - when I order them, I am told each ticket will have a booking fee AND a postage fee added, which takes the cost to nearly £70 each. I mean, come on, how can each ticket costing nearly £60 have a booking fee of over £6.50 added, PLUS a postage fee of over £3 ??? And why can I not choose other, less expensive seats in the house that night??? If this isn't another example of RIP-OFF Britain, I don't know what is. So, I went to a Travel Agency who said they could buy tickets for me - but ONLY as part of a whole-trip package? Hello - do I have FOOL tattooed on my forehead??? Another Travel Agent offered to try to get me my tickets but their ticket agent said they had not been allocated ANY for the whole of October this year. So do you folks have any advice for a poor pensioner who lives in the far Arctic wastes of the North of Scotland for whom a trip to London (a nerve shattering 400 miles)costs more than a trip to the moon and back, and for whom a ticket to a show I have already seen 4 times around the UK costs more than a ticket to the Oscars??? Thanks. 92.9.42.126 ( talk) 22:40, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
