I have no idea about green roads or green paths in the UK. I know there are green ways in the US, but they should be different from green roads in the UK. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.202.187.153 ( talk) 02:06, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
I've heard from anecdotal sources online that a .50 caliber BMG round from an M82 sniper rifle will leave you with an exit wound the size of a watermelon. Not sure if this is accurate or not, but in general, will high-powered rifle rounds leave a larger or small exit wound with increasing engagement distance?
I'm thinking that if someone was shot point-blank with a .50 BMG, the bullet will pass right through them easily right? Leaving a hole the same as the diameter of the bullet? Or would the bullet fragment and leave a much larger wound upon impact at point blank?
On the other hand, I'm thinking that if the engagement distance was greater, the shooter would have to arc the bullet and hence, hit the victim at a downward angle, leaving a much larger wound.
Are the scenarios accurate?

I think it's an Asian bow of some kind but that's all I've determined so far. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.65.3.227 ( talk) 02:40, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Most of the images I viewed before posting this and the images I'm viewing now are of the archer holding the composite (edit: recurve) bow. Somehow I think this bow is the original or correct one. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.65.3.227 ( talk) 01:03, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

Is there a way to access - as by going to your archives - the article you once had in which you listed the names of famous individuals who have been affected by lisp - as you now have a comparable article listing the names of famous individuals who have been affected by a stutter?
As someome with a speech disorder himself, can you tell me why it was taken down, and whether it can, or will, be recreated?

I recall donating after a recent banner heading seeking funds for Wikipedia. I have not seen if this achieved the required sum for the organisation. Anybody know please? 85.211.204.94 ( talk) 16:33, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

My Grandfather (in the UK) used to make delicious Parkins, a type of ginger biscuit if I remember correctly 50 or 60 years back All one can buy now are Perkins, they do't taste as good. Are they supposed to be the same as Parkins or are they a different biscuit? 85.211.204.94 ( talk) 17:22, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Since English is not my first language I am asking this question... I know all U2 lyrics, but I always have had this on my mind... the lyrics of that song says With or without you I can't live or With or without you I can leave, I hear it as if Bono says I can't Miss Bono [zootalk] 20:09, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
I have a Live video on U2's Until The End Of The World. I was wondering what's the exact date of that video. It is for sure the ZooTV period. Bono is not wearing shades, Edge is wearing a violet (or pink) sleeveless shirt. In some part of the video Bono takes one of the camera and approaches it to his pants (yeah, that part of the pants- don't ask), before that he kisses the camera... Any ideas??
