How does Vietnam view The United States 30+ years after the Vietnam war?
Is Pluto a plantet??? What is a planet
Where can I find everything there is to know about Daniel Wayne Douglas?
Daniel Wayne Douglas doesn't exist.Can we have some more specifics as to which particular Daniel Wayne Douglas you have in mind? Lemon martini 08:41, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
That is the Daniel Wayne Douglas I am trying to learn about. The one who was somehow involved in the assassination of President Kennedy. His name was mentioned in a police report and he was put on trial for crimes in Memphis after confessing to them in the police station(Douglas entered the station under no legal obligation or influence and was said to have been roaming about for some twenty minutes all the while holding a bag of "checks"). Douglas was tried and found not guilty for both the crimes that he confessed to but was a susupect in the murder of a police officer that occured in the very recent past(no more than two hours) about a mile and a half away from the police station. Douglas was found not guilty for this murder as well. The murderer of the officer was Lee Harvey Oswald who was already in custody. Daniel Wayne Douglas is believed to have served in the United States Marines. If anyone can direct me to more information about Daniel Wayne Douglas I would greatly appreciate it as his information is difficult to come by.
I strongly believe you are incorrect. Perhaps you overread the fact that he was not found guilty of car theft, and his name appeared in a letter that the C.I.A. eventually aquired including the name of a Mexican named "Duglas", is it coincidence that our Douglas happens to be from Memphis(Mexico) and named Douglas(Duglas)- I think not. Furthermore, Douglas was not "...picked up...", he entered the police station out of free will. You are certainly entitled to your opinion as I am mine, however, before you come to any conclusions you may want to collect a little more information. citation needed
Dear All in Wikimedia.org,
I need your kind help and attention for above matter. I’m one of the Chinese TV Series’ fan. Now one series that airs in our country and all in Chinese language. I have tried to enqruie all website such as Yesasia, SPCnet but have no reply yet.I have been some of your web about chinese tv series & it's perfect! So, pls. do a four and spare some of your time for me to find out about this series. Here is the plot that I’ve been watching. The main actress(name-Kyone Shuang Yin, sorry! I don’t know how to pronounce in Chinese) Acts in two roles as mother and daughter. She works in a hotel(owned by the main actor-Lan Tong Chang) in order to pay back the money that she borrowed for her mother’s hospital fee(mother has cancer & she seems to have that illness too).That hospital also owned by Tong Chang. The supporting actor(Lwi Shin) loves SY and works in a newspapers publishing. The other girl(Mike Lei Lei) who loves LS works in the same hotel with SY and always tricky and cunning to SY. Another one(Kyin Wai Wai) who thinks to love TC, woeks at a reporter, later on fall in love with Lai Yi,(who is neighbour & like a brother to SY) a traffic policeman. But TC & SY loves each other deeply but SY thinks she has cancer & pretend she does not love TC. The significant thing in the series is mother has blue scarf with butterfly embroidery and SY has butterfly tattooed at her ankle. Some of the reflesh sences show SY’s mother, TC’s mother & father & LS’s mother has involved with each other in some how. But I cannot catch & clear yet. That’s all I’ve watched it. It hasn’t finished yet & I cannot wait & too curious to know what will happen at the ending. Will TC & SY have a happy ending? I wish they have as I love SY & TC & think they are a perfect couple & match each other.
Will be very appreciated if you could reply by this email add;(email removed to prevent spam) or pls. advise me where/which website can I search for that series review.
Thanks in advance.

Being aware that Roman and Greek Gods are closely analogous, I just read the article on Roman mythology, which explains that existing early Roman Gods were given Greek attributes when the Romans conquered Greece (roughly speaking). I'm still no wiser, however, about why, to the best of my knowledge, not a single name of a Greek God was introduced into Roman mythology. Was it the case that the Romans had so many Gods they could find a close enough match for each Greek one, or that they did not "import" Gods they had no early Roman match for? - Samsara ( talk • contribs) 11:24, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Is there a legal term that covers exactly both right and privilege? -- Toytoy 11:31, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Should you proceed on this course of gross misrepresentation, I should warn you, I may be forced file, in a court of competent jurisdiction, a writ of quo warranto, demanding several affiants to provided detailed sworn oathes as, to wit; whether or not your relationship with that person you describe as your employer is indeed your employer or indeed your principal; to wit; should counsel for such aforementioned principal allege that you are indeed not one of its agents, nor a subcontractor, and should the court; to wit; refuse to grant the requested relief demanded by the writ of quo warranto, as; to wit; the said writ has no application to this cause as you have not, nor have you ever, alleged; to wit; that you have or have ever held any public office, my application would likely fail as having no basis in law or in fact, and further; to wit; as being both frivolous and capricious. The court may further, in camera, in its pro ad hoc capacity as arbiter of courtroom decorum, reprimand me for being a complete and utter moron, and, to wit; proclaim myself to be in contempt of court and, as such, require me to spend twenty-four (24) hours in county jail hanging upside-down by my big toes and being fed nothing but carrots and a select variety of overly ripe and particulary malodorous French cheeses.
However, should I succeed in appeal in convincing the Court of Appeals of Michigan as to the bona fides of my application, viz.; should the court agree that there has been clear and palpable error in the jugement of the court below, it may grant my application for a writ of mandamus ordering the judgment of the court below to be quashed, and, pending the result of a trial de novo, and pending a per saltum appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States of America, grant me an interlocutory injunction prohibiting said defendant ==STURAT== from appearing within 100 yards of any ==TACO BELL==, ==KFC== or ==PIZZA HUT== franchise within these here United States of America, as well, prohibiting said defendant from wearing any vestment, apparel or accessory bearing the ==NIKE "SWOOSH"== insignia, as well as from consuming, wearing or displaying any product coloured, or resembling the colour ==BLUE==.
So ordered. All the above with costs. :--) Loomis 21:01, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, another one of them "do you consider it" question. Do you think Australians still consider Mel Gibson an AUSTRALIAN although he doesn't live in Australia. PS> I am Australian. THANKS Jon
In the 1984 song by Rockwell, Somebody's Watching Me, when the artist proclaims that [he] can't enjoy [his] tea, is he referring to the drink made by infusing these dried leaves or buds in hot water, or the main evening meal, irrespective of whether tea is drunk with it? -- Username132 ( talk) 15:36, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Actually, since Rockwell is African-American, the likelihood is that he's referring to Iced tea and is just upset he can't sit down and enjoy his nice cool beverage without paranoia. pschemp | talk 18:27, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
While living in Lagos, Nigeria from 1990-1993, I uncovered an owl-like face carved under the bark of a tree. I am sure that it wasn't a natural occurance, but rather a distinctly carved symbol that had been covered by bark. I have been puzzled by what this might represent ever since, and was wondering if anyone might know something about African tree carvings? –– 24.5.194.181 16:19, 25 August 2006 (UTC)K22B

That the Wallace Monument..or am I mistaken...as I think the Wallace monument is more pointed on top.
Which it is then?
Does the speed limit count if you're on a bicycle? It probably does, but how do I know how fast I'm going when I'm on a bike? Do I need to install a speedometer on my bike? Or am I supposed to just guess? Or do you go so slow on a bike that I don't need to worry about a speed limit? -- Jonathan talk 20:45, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Okay, thank you for all the answers. -- Jonathan talk 18:08, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
I've decided to be forced to write a 500 word essay recreating a situation in Benjahman Franklin's Autobiography from his brother's POV. Any help on deciding? — Mac Davis] ( talk)
If you are talking about his brother James Franklin, here's some relevant info from our Benjamin Franklin article:
"...at 12 he became an apprentice to his brother James, a printer. When Ben was 15, James created the 'New England Courant', the first truly independent newspaper in the colonies. While a printing apprentice, Franklin wrote under the pseudonym of 'Mrs. Silence Dogood' who was ostensibly a middle-aged widow. His brother and the Courant's readers did not initially know the real author. James was not impressed when he discovered his popular correspondent was his younger brother. Franklin left his apprenticeship without permission and in so doing became a fugitive."
That description makes me think of James as a stern, humorless, taskmaster, so you could write from that POV. StuRat 10:41, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
You know, I was being sarcastic, hence the ":P" at the end of my post. Yes, he is not asking the normal "do my homework for me" sort of question. Nevertheless, given the silliness occurring on the RD these days I opted to make a silly post. If anyone was offended by it or didn't get the sarcasm, well tough beans!
