thread_title: Recipe, not an article

message: Of this article refers to the process/steps/algorithm that it would be necessary for someone to follow in order to create a Block diagram that is useful/relevant to their own situation.  
Perhaps this would best be done by numbering such steps in an algorithmic fashion?  Also, isn't there probably some work that has been done out there concerning how block diagrams can be arranged so as to optimise certain features of those diagrams (for example, by arranging the blocks and processes so that the minimal spanning graph for the processes would consist of a minimal number of edges?).  
The article could also use more pictures.

Talk:Deleting Online Predators Act of 2006

message: By the way, the first reference to the text of the bill is broken.  Apparently the "ref" tag automatically leaves off the colon at the end of the URL, which is needed by the thomas.loc.gov site.  Any ideas how to fix this?

replies: text: By using the Bill status link to the THOMAS system at the Library of Congress that's included in the article you continue to vandalize, you can see the current status of the bill.  At present, it has been referred to a Senate sub-committee.  It will have to be agreed upon within the committee before being opened to a vote for approval by the Senate.  ju66l3r 15:08, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Correct.  It is a bill in the Senate at this point.  If it reaches the point of approval in the Senate, it may even be substantially changed from the version passed by the House (often the Senate is not as quick or radical in passage of a bill as the House is).  It would then have to be sent to a committee of House and Senate members to decide on a compromised version between the two passed versions and then the President would have to agree to sign it for it to become law.  ju66l3r 15:22, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Which leg? If JT sign points to it, then it is true :-) Jokes aside, I recently added a commonscat of pelvic radioimages, where you may see JT is abound. I don't think all of them are pranks. And this image is just as good as any, even better :-) In any case, what's the evidence it being a fake besides the observation that JT is just too big for a someone  suffering a fracture?  Staszek Lem (talk) 20:29, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I haven't looked at a lot of these, but it seems to me that, in an X-ray, the JT (which is made of soft tissue, after all, turgidity notwithstanding) shouldn't show such a high degree of detail.  It should appear as a shadow.  In this picture we can virtually see the texture of the skin.  Also the angle of attachment looks rather awkward.  The enormous size is the whole point.  You (if you're male and go in for this kind of humor) show your friends the picture and tell them it's the X-ray of your hip fracture.  There's another one with a knee replacement.  J. D. Crutchfield | Talk 22:00, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

text: That's the reason why I choose the other image. Because that is an example of a "positive" John thomas sign. I do repeat the image is not a fake. And I (instead of others discussing here) do see a lot of these images every day. --Hellerhoff (talk) 20:21, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Egg tolerance 

message: "Molten sodium metal suspended in sulfuryl fluoride retains its shiny metallic appearance."
Therefor, both sodium and sulfuryl fluoride have to be liquid at the same time. This means you need a temperature of ~100°C and high pressure to observe this, if that is even possible (I don't know the critical point of SO2F2, but it might be below 100°C). So I think this statement doesn't sound very plausible, even if it is physically possible to have both liquid at the same time - sodium even reacts with sulfur hexafluoride which is even less reactive than SO2F2. 
...Or is meant "(solid) sodium suspended in liquid sulfuryl fluoride..."? That would make more sense in my opinion. --79.243.254.229 (talk) 20:13, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: What sounds strange to me is, that sulfuryl fluoride is considered toxic but described as totally unreactive to almost everything. What should be the mechanism of toxicity then?

Unlike him, you can actually watch Ireland v Egypt 1990, a long video of the First Half and an even longer video of the Second Half from Egyptian TV.
Ireland wanted to win the game so didn't waste time. Egypt's goalie did, and was booked for timewasting – because referees at that time wouldn't let a player waste 6 minutes of a match. But clearly the truth doesn't matter to some people.
