Juggling
How do you juggle 5 balls? I can do three balls, and can do four (two per hand). --216.164.199.33 00:23, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
As I understand it, the usual way is to form a parabolic arc in the air with as many balls as you can handle. As each comes down, one hand catches it, passes it to the other hand, and that hand launches it. It's possible to juggle far more balls this way than by using each hand to independently juggle.

I once saw a circus artist juggle some 20-30 balls. Joneleth 05:42, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Slaves
This is completely unrelated to my micronation question; I do not endorse slavery. Question: Where can I buy slaves, and how much do they cost? --216.164.199.33 00:35, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, it's late 1700s. Also, right before the American Civil War, prime young males were about $600-$800, while women were usually 2/3 of the price. Skilled workers, and pretty, young girls could fetch more, because they could make more things, or they could be sold into brothels, respectively. To convert this to a current price, young males costed about 50 ounces of gold, or $21,400. So to answer your question, if you were going to buy a slave at that price, I would suggest that you buy a new car with that money, or something worth it instead of something unethical.

anime A-Z
I had the old version of the anime A-Z and my husband had to reformat the hard drive, and I can't seem to find the web site that had ALL the anime shows and movies (Japanese and Adult Swim, American versions). It gave how many episodes, movies, etc.Is it on another website? Because I think It was your site. If you have changed it, then I can't find what I want, because you new site is very incomplete to the old on that I used. Thank you for any help you can give, Cindy Hudson P.S. I had a very hard time just trying to find even this contact page.
"local" on the market pit?
a friend of mine told me there were two types of people on the floor, "locals" who buy and sell for their own accounts, and "brokers" who buy and sell for other people's accounts. He also told me that anyone can become a "local" as long as they lease out a space and have a $50,000 account. Haven't been able to find any google info on this. Please help?

Manga
I remember i once saw an epizode of an manga but I forgot the name off it, I hope someone can recognise it.
It was about a dark master wizard that was locked away in a boys body but then unlocked in order to save a city that was under attack, (atleast thats what the epizode i saw was about). Joneleth 06:06, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

The cargo on the "Mary Celeste"
Dear Wiki
I note in the article on the "Mary Celeste" that the cargo is specified as having been methanol. Most accounts, however, claim it to have been ethanol, or imply it to have been ethanol. The difference is a crucial one in terms of reconstructing what happened to that vessel and her company. Can you possibly enlighten me as to the source of the information about the cargo? The methanol claim is not referenced (perhaps it ought to be, given the ambiguity).
Thank you and best wishes

Vandalism
Does anyone know of any reasons why people vandalise articles? Particularly paying attention to adding material pertaining to penises? My preferred explanation is that they are somewhat under endowed and have no friends. What do other people think?OEYoung 17:16, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
P.S. How do you report the ip addresses of vandals to wikipedia?
I suppose frustration or hate may be a reason. If someone, perhaps, does not like the policy of a certain politician, they may vandalise the page on that person in a misguided and usually futile effort to get ather people to see things their way. Russian F 03:25, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Odd aircraft
I live in the approach path for the Winnipeg International Airport. A couple of months back, I was in my back yard I and saw a plane pass over-head. The plane looked like a typical medium sized prop-driven dealy. The odd thing was that it had a cable going from the nose, to the wing tips, and back to the tail. This cable had some circular objects going along it, if I recall correctly. Does anyone know what this was? -- Consumed Crustacean (talk) 16:05, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

hay or straw
I was wondering what is better in the winter hay or straw?I have a husky(dog)that lives out side in a 100 sq.ft kennel and has a house he sleeps in,my question is my pet better off in the 0 to -40 weather to have hay or straw?
I'm going to come out and say it: If it gets to 40 below, please don't leave your dog outside. It's dangerous.. and will certainly cause great distress to your dog --?frothT C 20:37, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
I have some suggestions:
- Use something better for insulation, like Styrofoam, built into the walls, floor, and ceiling.
- Hang a heavy blanket over the door, so the dog can get in but heat can't get out.
- Rig a waterproof electrical line to the doghouse and mount an incandescent light bulb at the top. These generate a considerable amount of heat in such a small space. And, most places and times of the year with such low temps also have only a few hours of sunlight each day, so your dog will appreciate the extra light.
- You might consider rigging the doghouse with a digital video camera so you can check on him when it gets cold out.
- If possible, put the doghouse someplace protected from the wind, like a garage.
StuRat 04:36, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
- A well designed doghouse for a cold area will have 2 compartments: the outer one, with the door, will have the doorway offset to , say, the left side. Frome that compartment, the door to the other compartment would be offset the other way, in this case to the right side, so there is no direct path for drafts. Add a flap of canvas over the outer door opening. Put some old carpet on the floor for insulation. Double thickness walls and floor with insulation would be a good idea. The dog still need unfrozen water, and I.m not sure how you achieve that. Perhaps a heat strip like for the bottom of reptile habitats. How about letting him inside when it is below zero Fahrenheit?Edison 15:29, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
Are you legally allowed to purchase this book? Or is it only given to doctors/psychiatrists etc.? Thanks, IolakanaoT 18:17, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
If you are in the US, try your local hospital library. Many community hospitals, especially the larger ones, have medical libraries in which anyone can consult a wide variety of expensive medical books. Don't be embarrassed to ask for the DSMIV book, all kinds of people ask for things like that all the time. If she isnt real busy, the librarian may even help you look up what you want to check. alteripse 03:46, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Tennis balls
Okay - this is an odd one, but bear with me. My boss is an avid tennis player, and one of the things we want to get him are personalized tennis balls. I know not so much about the sport, so what are the various high-end tennis balls on the market in the US? Many thanks! - ClockworkSoul 19:43, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
I'd imagine Wilson ones are pretty good. If you want professional level balls, you can always search for tennis photos on the internet and zoom in on the balls and see which brand they are using. In addition, I'm sure if you walk into a professional tennis shop the sales staff can help you choose a high-quality ball. Jamesino 23:43, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

realtime tracking of trains in US?
Is it possible to track rail transport in realtime? I see it's possible to track flights in the air, but I need information on train locations in realtime. Reason: I'm designing a bicycle that will ride on train tracks in the US. I hope to make a cross-country trip using the rail system, but that will be impossible unless I can find a way to track trains--otherwise I'll get run over in a hurry. thanks, --Tim
Is that even legal? --Charlesknight 23:52, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

1. Send the bike down the railway sleepers. 2. Hang on to the back of another one. 3. Use disused tracks 4. if you could ride a very flat bike lying down, the train could go straight over you without damaging you. 82.153.195.149 19:09, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
There probably is a system that tracks rail traffic. Every major railroad has GPS equipment on all of its trains. However, I'm not certain this would include work cars and other small vehicles on the tracks that are still big enough to de-rail you. Also, be aware that unlike roads for cars, all railroad tracks are privately owned by the railroads. And the railroads have their own security officers who have the power to arrest people -- and they are very diligent about doing so. -- Michael J 17:26, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Proper term of Photoshopper
What is the proper term that you can put on a job resume for one who photoshops? Jamesino 23:33, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Photoshopper= slang for one who uses Adobe Photoshop. "Photoshop" does not refer to the buying, shopping and purchasing of photographical equipments. Jamesino 23:50, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
