I've been having a chuckle over some awkward family photos and came across this entry. It appears as though there's some sort of toe coming off the back of the shoe that is taking the place of a standard high-heel. Is this actually how the shoe is built? Maybe some sort of specialty shoe to accentuate the look of her leg while not having a stiletto heel? Or is this a sandal with some piece of material on the floor?

Hi there, I am interested in reading a New York Times obituary in the 1970s. A simple google search doesn't bring up anything. What would be the easiest way to read it? I would prefer it to be free.
Thanks in advance, 110.174.151.109 ( talk) 06:33, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
Well, the person in question would have been quite prominent- maybe even a front page(?) obituary or at least quite big. 110.174.151.109 ( talk) 09:45, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
While watching this video with the penguin swallowing that large fish whole I began to wonder - what do penguins and birds in general do with the bones? How is their digestive system adapted to digest bones? Won't the bones puncture things on the way? -- antilived T | C | G 09:06, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi! Does anyone know of high-street British shops (as in, actual, physical shops) which sell this sort of stress-relieve-y-tangle-y-toy-thing? Thanks! ╟─ Treasury Tag► Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster─╢ 14:32, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
Would I be very warm under extreme temperatures (-50 C) if I was to fashion a winter coat made from the same material used in cryogenic gloves designed to handle Liquid nitrogen? [ [3]] Acceptable ( talk) 21:27, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
Who's the leader of the Pokémon Pinchers? Bulbapedia said that it is the Tea Party, but that was probably just some childish vandalism that didn't get removed before Bulbapedia was locked from editing. -- 75.25.103.109 ( talk) 22:12, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

My partner's grandma used to have a non-digital tv that had Teletext which she used for subtitles. On teletext you get the option to increase the font-size (it looks like it works as a basic zoom of the text rather than an increased font per-se). Anyhoo her new digital tv has subtitles, but we cannot find anyway to make them bigger. Is there any way to increase the size of subtitles on digital tvs/or any tvs that you're aware of that have this functionality? ny156uk ( talk) 23:05, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
