thread_title:  Other images 

message: I have heard and read from several sources a story which elaborates on the Mucalinda legend.  According to this story, the Buddha was pleased with his protector and blessed him by placing a hand on his hood.  As a sign of the Buddha's blessing, cobras bear his fingerprints on their hoods.  Indian or Spectacled cobras (Naja naja) of course have two ocelli or eyespot markings on the back of their hood.  (These are thought to serve as "eyes in the back of the head," with the adaptive function of deterring predators that might try to attack the standing cobra from behind).  This story may be told in Thailand also, although there is a slight inconsistency in that Thai cobras (Naja kaouthia) have only one spot. :)
I have also heard a variant in which the Buddha was protected by the serpent not from rain storms but from the blazing Indian sun.
Unfortunately, I cannot find a decent source for either of these elements in the Mucalinda story and do not know where they originated. 174.111.242.35 (talk) 15:38, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

text: Actually, your deleting the Pride info made perfect sense for an article about the Defenders and supports my contention that the two articles should remain separate.  If we were to merge the two articles, then we would have to preserve a cumbersome structure that would first list all the Pride info and trivia, then do the same for the Defenders, once they get going.  I understand that historical names of baseball teams redirect to the teams' present names, but does that necessarily apply to teams which existed until very recently and which have developed quite a bit of Wikipedia material which does not apply directly to the new team?--Ken Gallager (talk) 13:33, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Bond convexity

message: How bond duration can vary with the floating rate
Maybe I'm missing something on this 
*1st - wouldn't it belong in duration raather than convexity (if true)
*2nd - floating rate bond, no mention of risk changing  ==> at next
*reset date, bond value = face value ==> (approx) 1st and second derivatives =0
*(since from one reset date to the next there is no price change)
At a minimum it needs more explanation
OK, I see now it's the term "floating rate" which confused me.  Floating just means "changing," and it's not the coupon that's changing.  I've "floated" the section title to remove this confusion

Talk:The Great Brain

message: It appears to me that, starting with the section heading A Bygone Era, the tone of the article devolves from neutral exposition expected in an encyclopedia, and into a monographic essay that compares 1920's Utah to modern society, attempting to divine the author's motives.

message: In the Finding Fitzgerald blogspot (which the author had done some research) it mentioned (culled from several pages): 
Tom Dennis, the Great Brain, was in real life Thomas Nelson Fitzgerald Jr. Graduated from Carbon High School in 1922. Married Fern Smith, who died with their son from childbirth. Tom later married Florence Beverage, and had 2 children Thomas or Tuck/Tucker, and Mary M. (Pickering). Tuck had 4 children and died in the 1969 in Salt Lake city, before his father did. Tom had a career as a painter, but due to his drinking, Florence left him in 1937. He died at the age of 86 on October 27, 1988. (See findingfitzgerald.blogspot.com )
