thread_title:  Meta-quinone? 

message: Quinone are actually well-known for BEING AROMATIC. The double bonds are actually NOT localized. If you look at the Carbonyl carbons, you will realize that these carbons are SP2 hybridized AND each contain one pi electron in their p orbitals. (This electron contributes to the C=O bond.) If you count these two electrons + the 4 in the two double bonds, Quinone had 6 pi electrons, which IS a Huckel number! Hence...aromatic.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.217.65.10 (talk) 05:59, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

message: DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE YET!
The film was a bit difficult to follow at times so a spoiler could prove helpful.  Mostly in answering a lot of questions that cropped up in the end (what crime would the secretary be trying to get a plea bargain on, what law(s) did the lawyer break, how did the gang not find Carl's money if he didn't take it with him, how does the lawyer have "no money" just because he didn't get the million, did Andrea and Shy love each other enough to forgive one another or was the damage just too much, and what in the world is Pippa supposed to do with a cool million on an island where she doesn't know anyone she can trust???).  Movies can leave a few questions unanswered to leave some mystique, but either I missed a whole lot of plot pieces or the film just isn't clear enough.

Talk:Avesta

message: This section sounds like one person's theory; especially the footnote saying that Antequil-Duperron deliberately omitted all material bearing a resemblance to Hinduism, that the Avesta is the missing part of the Vedas and that Iranian and Zoroastrian topics are referred to in the Vedas. It certainly bears no resemblance to anything I have read in normal scholarship about Zoroastrianism.

thread_title:  Veda-Avesta comparison 

message: I arrived here having read a rather different version of events elsewhere. In this, a history beginning around 600 BCE, a rather different Avesta was first compiled by Zoroaster. However that version and anything related to it (including priests who could have memorized it) were destroyed by Alexander when he conquered the region around 300 BCE. 
Now that version of events does have something of the ring of indignation and color that might be taken with a degree of caution. But the dismissal here of all such ideas as "legend and myth" seems equally improbable without a  substantiated case. 
Of the two heaps of what appear to be rubbish, so far I lean to the first.--70.79.64.157 (talk) 22:58, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hmm, even this version of events seems to be doubtful opinion 

message: Probably need a newer source than this for such an important topic, but apparently among Zoroastrians cow's urine went from being a preventative/cure against leprosy to being a common daily ablution to avoid disease and evil spirits until the early 20th century. This was apparently most prominently expounded in the Vendidad, which would merit inclusion here if true. — LlywelynII 09:24, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

And how is "the experience of gays during the Holocaust" an example of how "homosexuals and gay bashing remains common" today?  This is pure spin.
