If a tall person and a short person both fall over at the same time does the tall person get hurt more because he's higher off the ground? Also does a fat person get hurt less than a skinny person because the fat cushions the fall, or does he hit the ground with more force because he's heavier? -- 124.254.77.148 ( talk) 07:37, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
Our shop offers prepaid phone cards and there's a little leaflet showing all the countries and their phone costs,with a little flag next to each country.However,the New Zealand one is not our normal flag,but what appears to be a red,green and blue(I think)tricolour with a yellow disc on with some sort of tree.I'm from NZ and I've never seen it before-any ideas what it is and why it's taken over?I'd try and post it up,but it's rather on the minute side

That's it---the New Caledonia flag!!Somebody must have pressed the wrong button to select it.It's PDSA/Nomi phones and I thought at first it might be some Maori group flag but I'd never seen it before and in its microscopic form on the leaflet,it looked some sort of tree or tower on it.On closer look it appears to be some sort of funky design rather like a soyonbo I shall go investigate further !Thanks folks.

I don't know where the appropriate place to ask this question is, so I'm starting here. If I need to go to Village Pump, or Help Desk or Bot Request, just tell me.
I'm trying to get a list of the GPS coordinates for every county in the US for a personal project. Of interest may be Category:Counties of the United States by state which has a category for each state which contains the counties. Each county's page should contain the {{ coord}} template. Any help would be greatly appreciated.» NMajdan· talk 16:03, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
This scheme enables hirer to rent a car belonging to renter. If renter has Kensington London residents permit and congestion charge, can he let renter use them within the rental and charge more as a result? Or is that somehow a breach of a law? Kittybrewster ☎ 16:13, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

When I buy cans of pineapple and cans of pears, they're always packed in pineapple juice and pear juice respectively (I try to avoid the syrup), but when I buy cans of peaches, they're always packed in pear juice. Why aren't peaches packed in peach juice? I'm in the USA, if that matters at all. Nyttend ( talk) 17:00, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
Karenjc is correct. That is why they are packed in pear juice. It is much cheaper and doesn't change the flavor of the peaches all that much. The same way that fruit juice is mostly apple juice. Most "fruit juice", if you look at the ingredients, it's mostly apple. As well as "grape cocktail" or any of the "cocktail" juices that you see in the grocery store. It's just a marketing gimick to sell the apple juice and charge more for it by adding 10% of a fruit that has a much stronger flavor, like cranberry. So it taste like other fruits, but it's really mostly apple or white grape. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.218.50.226 ( talk) 20:38, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
Yellow card
Do players who receive a yellow card in the group stage begin the final sixteen with a clean slate?
