I was buffled by the scene in the movie Pitch Black, where Riddick tries to scare Fry by telling something strange about his experience in a slam. Here is a quote from the script (the actual dialog in the movie is a bit different, part of it was reused in The Chronicles of Riddick)
I don't understand what the " sweet spot" is in the context of a human being. Urbandictionary (not the most reputable source) says it's "The patch of skin between the asshole and the balls", but it doesn't correspond to the description and the movie scene (there is a scar on the back). It also doesn't look like that would be a particularly attractive place to drink blood from (if that's what Riddick did).
Any help would be appreciated. Paranoid 13:11, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Help? What kind of help? The name of a good tennis pro? This is fantasy anatomy. Everyone knows the sweet spot is the part of the tennis racket you try to hit the ball with. This seems to suggest that a stab several inches through the skin would result in produse bleeding from the abdominal aorta, which it would. The scar seems to suggest the person recovered from it, which he probably wouldn't. Although it's a little hard to take seriously anyone who thinks a vampire movie is a good place to learn anything factual about anything. Note to questioner: if you are not a trained professional, do not try this at home. Note to Eequor: if you censor this, you assume responsibility if this poor deluded fool hurts someone. alteripse 13:25, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
The sweet spot is left of the spine, fourth lumbar down. it's the abdominal aorta. the largest artery in the body. bleed out is under ten seconds. and it wasn't a vampire movie. idiot
Most of you guys here are reatrded. do a google search. anyway, the spine is devided in to 5 sections. they are (from top to bottom, the cervicle (neck area), the thoracic (upper to mid back), the lumbars (lower back), the sacral (near you butt), and the coccyx (the tail bone)
what he means is now obvious just to the left of the fourth verterbre down, in the lumbar section. if u hit it right, you will hit the abdominal aorta. if i do that the victim will die within 10-15 seconds.

EPO erythropoietin is a protein hormone produced by the kidneys (yeah, every organ's really an endocrine organ). It is a growth factor hormone for erythrocyte ( red blood cell) precursors in the bone marrow. It increases the number of red blood cells in the blood (the hematocrit, the hemoglobin, and the RBC counts in a CBC). It is available as an expensive injectable therapeutic agent produced by recombinant DNA technology.
It produces the same effect as a transfusion of red blood cells, but repeated transfusions carry a variety of risks. It is most often used for people with anemia due to diseases that interfere with RBC production, especially chronic renal failure and anemia due to cancer chemotherapy. Off the top of my head I think Epogen and Procrit are 2 US brands; at least one has been advertised on television as a treatment for tiredness in cancer patients.
If your RBC mass is not excessive, and you are otherwise healthy, increasing it with EPO will marginally increase the oxygen carrying capacity of your blood, which will marginally increase your exercise endurance. EPO is yet one more forbidden ergogenic agent (" doping agent") taken taken by athletes to cheat.

See monoamine oxidase inhibitor (you need to look up MAO inhibitor or MAOI, not MAOI inhibitor: the I already stands for inhibitor). MAOIs interact with a lot of drugs and foods, which is why you always hear the warnings...the most classic being that foods which contain a lot of tyramine (including port wine cheese and other tasty items) can cause, when eaten by a person on MAOIs, a severe increase in blood pressure that may result in death. There's some information about the interaction with hallucinogens in the article. - Nunh-huh 08:39, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

By now it should be common knowledge that the Bush administration lied to the American people and Congress about Saddam Hussein possessing and producing WMD with which to fund the Al-Qaeda terrorist attacks. However, someone told me that a few sarin bombs were indeed found in Iraq, and these count as WMD. Is this true? Could somebody please give me the facts, or possibly a way to refute this? -- Gelu Ignisque
I remember seeing a headline in the news-crawl on CNN a while back that "weapons of mass destruction" had indeed been found in Iraq, and that they consisted of small quantities of chemical agents most likely intended for assassination attempts. (These may be the same sarin bombs you've mentioned). Broadly defining WMD to include all chemical weapons, regardless of quantity or intended purpose, seems a fairly liberal (no pun intended) interpretation. Assassination is just about the exact opposite of mass destruction. -- Wapcaplet 23:33, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

In the equation "2x + 8y = 16," how can I find the slope, x-intercept, and y-intercept? --Anon
intercept, and y-intercept? --Anon
See slope. You want to put the equation in the form y=mx+b. m is the slope, b is the y-intercept.
2x + 8y = 16 (subtract 2x from both sides) 8y = 16 - 2x (divide equation by 8) y = 2 - .25x (shuffle) y = - .25x + 2 so m = -0.25 = slope b = 2 = y intercept
The x-intercept is the place the line crosses the y axis...that is, the point where y=0. (Think about this: every point on the x axis has a y coordinate of 0.)
y = -.25x + 2 (substitute 0 for y) 0 = -.25x + 2 (add .25x to both sides) .25x = 2 (divide both sides by .25) x = 4
At least I think that's right <g>. If this doesn't make sense to you I'm sure there are other methods, like graphing, that someone else can explain. - Nunh-huh 03:32, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Also, if given a slope of –3 and a point of (2,–1), how can I write the equation in standard form? --Anon
you have the slope and a point. 1 = 3*2 - b 1 = 6 - b b = 5
y = 3x - 5
- Nunh-huh 03:32, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)
So let's do a similar one: 2x - 9y - 45 = 0 + 9y +9y (add 9y to both sides) 2x - 45 = 9y /9 /9 (divide all sides by 9 to get "y" by itself) 0.22x - 45 = y (in slope-intercept)
And to find the "x" and "y":
2/9x - 45 = y 2/9(0) - 45 = y -45 = y (-45 = y?)
2/9x - 45 = (0) +45 +45 2/9x = 45 x = 202.5 (202.5 = x?)
Checking...
(2)(202.5) - (9)(-45) - 45 = 0 (405) - (405) - 45 = 0
Now, I know that's not accurate, because the extra -45 makes it untrue. What am I doing wrong? (--Anon)

On point (2): no, it isn't. I just added a note to the magnetomotive force article to explain this. MMF is just the amount of current, multiplied by the number of loops, that generates a given magnetic field. The use of the word "force" in this phrase dates from a time before anybody knew better. -- Heron 09:46, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
On points (1) and (3): the flux density is a measure of the strength of the magnet's field at a given point, not a measure of the total field. I'm not sure how the size of the whole field is expressed - perhaps it's the magnetic dipole moment, or the total flux in webers. Anyway, the force of attraction between two magnets depends on the shapes, relative orientation and separation distance of the magnets, as well as their strength. Mathematically, you would use the principle of virtual work to calculate the force between them. I see we don't have an article on that yet, although I remember seeing it in Wikipedia:requested articles. (Hint) -- Heron 11:56, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Here is an excellent web page on the subject. The formula looks useful. F is force in newtons, m is pole strength in webers, μ is the permeability of the intervening medium in tesla metres per ampere, and r is the separation in metres. This works for two magnetic poles separated by a large distance. -- Heron 12:28, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hello I'm looking for an English equivalent of the meaning of this Chinese proverb: 點石成金 which means, you can turn a stone into gold if you add some value to it. It implies to change something not valuable into something very valuable. Is there a proverb in English that carries a similar meaning?
I've been looking at the web but can't find any websites. Any pointers/ or even answers would be much appreciated.
Many thanks Rebecca Fong
Possibly, 'Many hands make light work'.
Also, though not a proverb, it reminds me of the East European fable of the Stone soup. This story was often used as a prefix for explaining the benefits of early open source software collaborations.
Less appropriately there is the phrase 'you have the Midas touch', which refers to the mythical King Midas who was able to turn items into gold by touching them. However 'the Midas touch' usually only relates to an individual's skill at making something succeed, not collaboration. -- Solipsist 12:07, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I'm looking for a legal definition of the word "mopery." I'm disinclined to put full faith in the current contents of the article Mopery without a little more proof, as I think that information originated in the movie "Revenge of the Nerds." Joyous 05:15, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)
Well, if it makes you feel any better, you are not alone. I, too, was threatened with arrest for "mopery" back in 1970 by a gendarme in the employ of the Columbus, Ohio police department. As I knew I was guilty of no crime beyond a bad attitude and a subversive haircut, I presumed he was joking and simply walked away. But several days later I heard that a friend had actually been arrested, booked and jailed for "mopery," so I guess the relevant law really existed on the books (and, knowing Columbus, I'd guess that it probably still does).
You're also not alone in being unable to pin down an exact legal definition of "mopery." I seem to have misplaced my copy of Black's Law Dictionary (how one misplaces a book that heavy is another question), and none of the online legal dictionaries I have found contain the term. Nonetheless, all the references that I have been able to find in other materials indicate that the definition of "mopery" furnished to me by a friendly lawyer back in 1970 was accurate. "Mopery," at least in Columbus, Ohio, consists of "walking down the street with no clear destination or purpose." "Mopery" is thus essentially "loitering while walking," and, like laws against loitering and vagrancy, functions as a sort of legal wildcard, a one-size-fits-all charge that can easily be applied to annoying people by irritable authorities. "Mopery" is clearly based on verb "to mope," which, in its original sense, meant "to wander about aimlessly, moving without the guidance of thought." (Our modern "mope" meaning "to lay about bored and depressed" is a later development of the word.) The verb "to mope" first appeared in English in the 16th century and is of unknown origin, but was a big favorite of Shakespeare, who used it in at least three of his plays. "Mopery" is also frequently invoked for comic effect by modern writers, especially Thomas Pynchon, who seems to love the word. The film "Revenge of the Nerds" also contains a reference to "mopery," but erroneously defines it as "exposing oneself to a blind person."

What I was looking for was a standard explanation of what the various term (fomal, casual, dressy casual, smart casual. and so on). I have to say you that I am not English speaking native. I have found many time speaking of dressing code (in resturant list web site, and in many other site). I found this many more than I am usaul in Italy (not that there is no dressing code in Italy. It is not as formalised as I can see in US. I am not used that somebody in a resturant website told you how you have to dress. You are aspect to know how you have to dress (usually according to the price of the resturant). So what I am looking for maybe something like a traslation of the term casual, formal and so on. We have in Italian very similar words but I want to know what does thei really means to an English-speaker. Rather than a translation I prefear an explanation. I tought that it should be easy to find plenty of web page speaking on this argument but my search on google and similar give me a lots of page saying that in this place this dressing cose was in use but no a description of the variuos dressing code.

I was buffled by the scene in the movie Pitch Black, where Riddick tries to scare Fry by telling something strange about his experience in a slam. Here is a quote from the script (the actual dialog in the movie is a bit different, part of it was reused in The Chronicles of Riddick)
I don't understand what the " sweet spot" is in the context of a human being. Urbandictionary (not the most reputable source) says it's "The patch of skin between the asshole and the balls", but it doesn't correspond to the description and the movie scene (there is a scar on the back). It also doesn't look like that would be a particularly attractive place to drink blood from (if that's what Riddick did).
Any help would be appreciated. Paranoid 13:11, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Help? What kind of help? The name of a good tennis pro? This is fantasy anatomy. Everyone knows the sweet spot is the part of the tennis racket you try to hit the ball with. This seems to suggest that a stab several inches through the skin would result in produse bleeding from the abdominal aorta, which it would. The scar seems to suggest the person recovered from it, which he probably wouldn't. Although it's a little hard to take seriously anyone who thinks a vampire movie is a good place to learn anything factual about anything. Note to questioner: if you are not a trained professional, do not try this at home. Note to Eequor: if you censor this, you assume responsibility if this poor deluded fool hurts someone. alteripse 13:25, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
The sweet spot is left of the spine, fourth lumbar down. it's the abdominal aorta. the largest artery in the body. bleed out is under ten seconds. and it wasn't a vampire movie. idiot
Most of you guys here are reatrded. do a google search. anyway, the spine is devided in to 5 sections. they are (from top to bottom, the cervicle (neck area), the thoracic (upper to mid back), the lumbars (lower back), the sacral (near you butt), and the coccyx (the tail bone)
what he means is now obvious just to the left of the fourth verterbre down, in the lumbar section. if u hit it right, you will hit the abdominal aorta. if i do that the victim will die within 10-15 seconds.

EPO erythropoietin is a protein hormone produced by the kidneys (yeah, every organ's really an endocrine organ). It is a growth factor hormone for erythrocyte ( red blood cell) precursors in the bone marrow. It increases the number of red blood cells in the blood (the hematocrit, the hemoglobin, and the RBC counts in a CBC). It is available as an expensive injectable therapeutic agent produced by recombinant DNA technology.
It produces the same effect as a transfusion of red blood cells, but repeated transfusions carry a variety of risks. It is most often used for people with anemia due to diseases that interfere with RBC production, especially chronic renal failure and anemia due to cancer chemotherapy. Off the top of my head I think Epogen and Procrit are 2 US brands; at least one has been advertised on television as a treatment for tiredness in cancer patients.
If your RBC mass is not excessive, and you are otherwise healthy, increasing it with EPO will marginally increase the oxygen carrying capacity of your blood, which will marginally increase your exercise endurance. EPO is yet one more forbidden ergogenic agent (" doping agent") taken taken by athletes to cheat.

See monoamine oxidase inhibitor (you need to look up MAO inhibitor or MAOI, not MAOI inhibitor: the I already stands for inhibitor). MAOIs interact with a lot of drugs and foods, which is why you always hear the warnings...the most classic being that foods which contain a lot of tyramine (including port wine cheese and other tasty items) can cause, when eaten by a person on MAOIs, a severe increase in blood pressure that may result in death. There's some information about the interaction with hallucinogens in the article. - Nunh-huh 08:39, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

By now it should be common knowledge that the Bush administration lied to the American people and Congress about Saddam Hussein possessing and producing WMD with which to fund the Al-Qaeda terrorist attacks.

Could somebody please give me the facts, or possibly a way to refute this? -- Gelu Ignisque
I remember seeing a headline in the news-crawl on CNN a while back that "weapons of mass destruction" had indeed been found in Iraq, and that they consisted of small quantities of chemical agents most likely intended for assassination attempts. (These may be the same sarin bombs you've mentioned). Broadly defining WMD to include all chemical weapons, regardless of quantity or intended purpose, seems a fairly liberal (no pun intended) interpretation. Assassination is just about the exact opposite of mass destruction. -- Wapcaplet 23:33, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

In the equation "2x + 8y = 16," how can I find the slope, x-intercept, and y-intercept? --Anon
intercept, and y-intercept? --Anon
See slope. You want to put the equation in the form y=mx+b. m is the slope, b is the y-intercept.
2x + 8y = 16 (subtract 2x from both sides) 8y = 16 - 2x (divide equation by 8) y = 2 - .25x (shuffle) y = - .25x + 2 so m = -0.25 = slope b = 2 = y intercept
The x-intercept is the place the line crosses the y axis...that is, the point where y=0. (Think about this: every point on the x axis has a y coordinate of 0.)
y = -.25x + 2 (substitute 0 for y) 0 = -.25x + 2 (add .25x to both sides) .25x = 2 (divide both sides by .25) x = 4
At least I think that's right <g>. If this doesn't make sense to you I'm sure there are other methods, like graphing, that someone else can explain. - Nunh-huh 03:32, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Also, if given a slope of –3 and a point of (2,–1), how can I write the equation in standard form? --Anon
you have the slope and a point. 1 = 3*2 - b 1 = 6 - b b = 5
y = 3x - 5
- Nunh-huh 03:32, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)
So let's do a similar one: 2x - 9y - 45 = 0 + 9y +9y (add 9y to both sides) 2x - 45 = 9y /9 /9 (divide all sides by 9 to get "y" by itself) 0.22x - 45 = y (in slope-intercept)
And to find the "x" and "y":
2/9x - 45 = y 2/9(0) - 45 = y -45 = y (-45 = y?)
2/9x - 45 = (0) +45 +45 2/9x = 45 x = 202.5 (202.5 = x?)
Checking...
(2)(202.5) - (9)(-45) - 45 = 0 (405) - (405) - 45 = 0
Now, I know that's not accurate, because the extra -45 makes it untrue. What am I doing wrong? (--Anon)

On point (2): no, it isn't. I just added a note to the magnetomotive force article to explain this. MMF is just the amount of current, multiplied by the number of loops, that generates a given magnetic field. The use of the word "force" in this phrase dates from a time before anybody knew better. -- Heron 09:46, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
On points (1) and (3): the flux density is a measure of the strength of the magnet's field at a given point, not a measure of the total field. I'm not sure how the size of the whole field is expressed - perhaps it's the magnetic dipole moment, or the total flux in webers. Anyway, the force of attraction between two magnets depends on the shapes, relative orientation and separation distance of the magnets, as well as their strength. Mathematically, you would use the principle of virtual work to calculate the force between them. I see we don't have an article on that yet, although I remember seeing it in Wikipedia:requested articles. (Hint) -- Heron 11:56, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Here is an excellent web page on the subject. The formula looks useful. F is force in newtons, m is pole strength in webers, μ is the permeability of the intervening medium in tesla metres per ampere, and r is the separation in metres. This works for two magnetic poles separated by a large distance. -- Heron 12:28, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hello I'm looking for an English equivalent of the meaning of this Chinese proverb: 點石成金 which means, you can turn a stone into gold if you add some value to it. It implies to change something not valuable into something very valuable. Is there a proverb in English that carries a similar meaning?
I've been looking at the web but can't find any websites. Any pointers/ or even answers would be much appreciated.
Many thanks Rebecca Fong
Possibly, 'Many hands make light work'.
Also, though not a proverb, it reminds me of the East European fable of the Stone soup. This story was often used as a prefix for explaining the benefits of early open source software collaborations.
Less appropriately there is the phrase 'you have the Midas touch', which refers to the mythical King Midas who was able to turn items into gold by touching them. However 'the Midas touch' usually only relates to an individual's skill at making something succeed, not collaboration. -- Solipsist 12:07, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I'm looking for a legal definition of the word "mopery." I'm disinclined to put full faith in the current contents of the article Mopery without a little more proof, as I think that information originated in the movie "Revenge of the Nerds." Joyous 05:15, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)
Well, if it makes you feel any better, you are not alone. I, too, was threatened with arrest for "mopery" back in 1970 by a gendarme in the employ of the Columbus, Ohio police department. As I knew I was guilty of no crime beyond a bad attitude and a subversive haircut, I presumed he was joking and simply walked away. But several days later I heard that a friend had actually been arrested, booked and jailed for "mopery," so I guess the relevant law really existed on the books (and, knowing Columbus, I'd guess that it probably still does).
You're also not alone in being unable to pin down an exact legal definition of "mopery." I seem to have misplaced my copy of Black's Law Dictionary (how one misplaces a book that heavy is another question), and none of the online legal dictionaries I have found contain the term. Nonetheless, all the references that I have been able to find in other materials indicate that the definition of "mopery" furnished to me by a friendly lawyer back in 1970 was accurate. "Mopery," at least in Columbus, Ohio, consists of "walking down the street with no clear destination or purpose." "Mopery" is thus essentially "loitering while walking," and, like laws against loitering and vagrancy, functions as a sort of legal wildcard, a one-size-fits-all charge that can easily be applied to annoying people by irritable authorities. "Mopery" is clearly based on verb "to mope," which, in its original sense, meant "to wander about aimlessly, moving without the guidance of thought." (Our modern "mope" meaning "to lay about bored and depressed" is a later development of the word.) The verb "to mope" first appeared in English in the 16th century and is of unknown origin, but was a big favorite of Shakespeare, who used it in at least three of his plays. "Mopery" is also frequently invoked for comic effect by modern writers, especially Thomas Pynchon, who seems to love the word. The film "Revenge of the Nerds" also contains a reference to "mopery," but erroneously defines it as "exposing oneself to a blind person."

What I was looking for was a standard explanation of what the various term (fomal, casual, dressy casual, smart casual. and so on). I have to say you that I am not English speaking native. I have found many time speaking of dressing code (in resturant list web site, and in many other site). I found this many more than I am usaul in Italy (not that there is no dressing code in Italy. It is not as formalised as I can see in US. I am not used that somebody in a resturant website told you how you have to dress. You are aspect to know how you have to dress (usually according to the price of the resturant). So what I am looking for maybe something like a traslation of the term casual, formal and so on. We have in Italian very similar words but I want to know what does thei really means to an English-speaker. Rather than a translation I prefear an explanation. I tought that it should be easy to find plenty of web page speaking on this argument but my search on google and similar give me a lots of page saying that in this place this dressing cose was in use but no a description of the variuos dressing code. So I asked here. It it not importont so do not waste your time in helping me in this couriosity. By the way there is not an article about Dressing code on wikipedia AnyFile 12:14, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)

If a 19 year-old woman from Nicaragua who has just finished school ( A levels or whatever the equivalent is called) wants to spend a year in England, what are her options? Would she be able to work there? Would this automatically mean working as an au pair? Where would she have to apply? <KF> 18:22, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)
Thanks a lot, AnyFile. Any personal experiences? It would be great to hear from someone else, too. <KF> 00:50, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC)

I rent DVDs and often they have scratches that make them unplayable. My question is, are some DVD players better than others with regard to playing sratched disks?
I've had good results with this with scratched DVDs too. I think that most ripping programs will retry several times on an error, while a player will skip. If it's possible to read it, the ripper will get it after a few tries, while the player will stop trying. Intrigue 18:15, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Remember to wipe out from the center, not in a circular direction. This way, if you should cause a new scratch or smear, it will go perpendicular to the track lines (and cause less damage). Circular damage can wipe out a contiguous section of the DVD or CD. -- Phyzome is Tim McCormack 00:35, 2004 Dec 5 (UTC)
