thread_title:  In the news? 

message: I attended from 1961 - 1966, second Freshman class.  This stuff on the page about Trojan "condoms" and "Better safe than sorry" must be someone's idea of a joke and sounds like utter rubbish and ought to be removed.  The mascot "Trojans" has its origins in Greek legend and has nothing to do with any brand of condom.  "Trojans" was a common mascot choice in the late 50's eary '60's due to the notoriety of USC, the colors Purple and White as well as the school song came from Northwestern U --- much bigger in football back then than today. I'm no one to go touching a Wiki page, but someone ought to correct this. We didn't think there was anything funny about the name of our mascot.  But then times change.  Purple and white uniforms got harder to find and fell out of fashion.  Witness the schools who've abandoned mascot names like "Indians", "Braves", etc.  Oh, well.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnk300 (talk • contribs) 20:03, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Is railway signalling in Ireland the same as in the UK? Biscuittin (talk) 09:34, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Irish signalling is based on British practice, but has evolved slightly differently since the partition. For example, semaphore distant signals still have red arms, mechanical shunting signals are mostly square instead of disc shaped, and the position light shunting signals are different. Colour light signals use the British four-aspect system (but there are no flashing yellows) and the same kinds of route indicators are used. Irish railways have CAWS rather than AWS/TPWS. Banner repeater signals are a fairly recent addition in Ireland. –Signalhead < T > 17:41, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I propose that British railway signals be merged into UK railway signalling.

message: PC Sorcar was the world's greatest magician in his times, who was so much dedicated to his work, that while performing on a stage, he suffered from a huge coronary attack, but his dedication kept him on his feet, and he assured his audience that his son would soon come from india and continue his work.
thus PC Sorcar Jr. was born. He is a renowned artist as well and he deserves to be in another Wikipedia Article

For example, the Andalusian Islamic scholar Yahya ibn Yahya al-Laythi was making visits to the Hijaz and he died in 848AD! People seem to forget that Islam has a long history in Europe.
