Hi. I'm looking for a map or maps showing the locations of NHS (ie not private) hospital Trusts in England. A separate map for London/the home counties would be useful, too. Any help gratefully received. Thanks. -- Dweller ( talk) 08:25, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
The other night I was taken along by a group of teenagers I'm connected with to see Fast and Furious 6. Now, I don't look for total credibility in such films, but one scene had me just a little concerned. A chase scene on an airport runway with a Russian transport plane took a very long time. Somebody on the IMDB page for the movie has done the research and calculations, and found that the runway must have been at least 27 miles or 44 kilometres long. I'm not concerned with the film's veracity, but are there any runways anywhere that long? What and where are the longest ones? HiLo48 ( talk) 09:00, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
That Hollywood films don't depict things realistically is a well-worn internet meme. People get into cars and instantly drive off, L shaped duvets that reveal men's chests but not women's, people who instantly find their keys, unless the plot demands them to need to scrabble around looking for them like most of us do much of the time, etc. Here is the first page of many on a website with a long list of some of these clichéd nonsenses. To go through the list, (the navigation seems to be broken) change the number at the end of the url. -- Dweller ( talk) 09:29, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
Not all but many yakuza tattoos otherwise covering most of the upper body, leave a straight tatoo-free line on the middle the persons chest. Do you know why? Thanks!

Thanks, it's great, it makes sense! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.107.26.54 ( talk) 12:51, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
I did try to study some school colors like high school colors and community college colors, I noticed when I go to [2] and Coastline Community College I can't tell what the school colors are over there really. Is this possible some college/HS campuses don't have school colors. or just some school campuses are not require to have a school color. Then if school campus don't require a school colors could their sports team just be random artificial colors?-- 69.233.254.115 ( talk) 20:30, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
