Talk:Meat Puppets/Archive 1

message: were they really a cover band, or did the author intend to say that this is how they started? I've always thought the puppets had an extremely unique sound, and i cerrtainly have heard nothing to imply they were covering other punk artists. If they really were a cover band, could someone possibly add a section elaborating on where they got their music form? Honestly though, i just don't believe it. 172.150.177.151 07:33, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  cover band? 

message: It seems kind of wonky to have Tim Alexander listed as a member in the band infobox, and not Derrick Bostrom, given that Bostrom's a founding member and on approx a donzen albums and Alexander hasn't (if I get this straight) recorded anything (and perhaps not even played with the band yet).  I don't know much about the band infobox format, but perhaps other fields are appropriate, to include Bostrum. Pete.Hurd 21:27, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Members in infobox

message: This article screams of POV and original research. Just an example:
"Their early works (the In A Car EP and Meat Puppets LP) were wholeheartedly punk, with vocals so feral in their delivery they were often indecipherable, but ultimately humorous and ingenious once discovered. The musicianship was mostly thrash, yet the songs were tinged with a subtle, haunting element like that of a long abandoned ghost town."
I bolded the particularly offensive sections. I don't know who's responsible for this (that Alex fella had a lot of attention drawn to him above for questionable edits though), but it needs to be changed. I'll try and get to it soon but anyone else is more than welcome. ;) --Major Organ 03:07, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Nigella damascena

message: As far as I am aware the most common colour for this flower in gardens is blue, yet the article gives another impression. A quote from The Flower Expert by Dr. D.G. Hessayon "Love-In-A-Mist aptly describes the misty blue flowers which lie half-hidden within the finely cut foilage. It has been grown in our gardens since Elizabethan times, although nowerdays we can grow multicoloured species as well as the traditional cornflower blue". The article for Nigella is wrong, I think, in saying it is mostly grown for its dried seed-heads - its mostly grown for the blue flowers. It is an easy to grow flower - just sprinkle and rake in. It is a self-seeder so it will come up year after year. 
I wish there were lists of self-seeding flowers here, and flowers that only needed scattering and raking to grow - probably closely related. 84.13.206.34 (talk) 20:10, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Fumaria officinalis

message: "The "smoky" or "fumy" origin of its name is uncertain." - Here is a quote from Grieve, Maude
1978. A Modern Herbal (Volume 1, A-H). Dover, explaining the origin of the name:
"The name is said to be derived either from the fact that its whitish, blue-green colour gives it the appearance of smoke rising from the ground, or, according to Pliny, because the juice of the plant brings on such a flow of tears that the sight becomes dim as with smoke, and hence its reputed use in affections of the eye. According to the ancient exorcists, when the plant is burned, its smoke has the power of expelling evil spirits, it having been used for this purpose in the famous geometrical gardens of St. Gall. There is a legend that the plant was produced, not from seed, but from vapours arising out of the earth."

Typical of leaf vegetables, Malabar spinach is high in vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, and calcium. It is low in calories by volume, but high in protein per calorie. The succulent mucilage is a particularly rich source of soluble fiber, thought to remove mucus and toxins from the body [For most of us, our bodies naturally produce and remove mucus as needed; mucus is a good and a natural thing. For most of us, our livers remove toxins. Ever notice how all these "alternative" "medicines" and foods are said to remove toxins, but which toxins are never stated?]. Among many other possibilities, Malabar spinach may be used to thicken soups or stir-fries with garlic and chili peppers.
