[edit] Your edits to Qatar

I reverted your edit to Qatar as it had much of the same text from the CIA and the US Department of State. I think Human Rights would be appropriate in the article, but we must come up with new text. --Matt 21:24, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Independent sources do not include, for example, web blogs, personal web sites or sites that include as its focus advertisement for services). The requirement for citing the reference or source of the information is to provide attribution of the event to a particular independent authority and to enhance the credibility of the article.

[edit] Superman Returns

I have no idea myself, but I would feel it would be better if you asked such questions on a forum. Alientraveller 20:08, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Superman

You're assuming that his hair would be sharp simply because it is thin and unbreakable, but that isn't necessarily the case. I also don't see a lot of people running their hands through his hair anyway, and his "arm hair" is typically covered by clothing. It would be odd to see Clark in shorts and a t-shirt, given that he wears his suit underneath his clothes. Since his hair is...well, hair, the wind would still move it around. Wind doesn't apply tension to the hair, so it isn't likely to break even your hair if you were to travel at the speed of sound--you'd probably die from the G-forces though, but that's a different matter. As for impact, his skin is unbreakable, like steel, which is not the same as made of steel. His skin would feel like skin, only extremely toned--think body builder tone, but without the bulk. Body builder muscles typically feel as hard as rocks under the skin, but the skin itself still feels like skin. Heat vision is used to cut, not move. If he flew into the Sun, he's probably burn...but if he survived long enough to fly away from it, then it would all heal and his hair would grow back (i.e. Super human healing factor, kind of like Wolverine).  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 20:12, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Don't confuse texture with firmness. Dry hair feels different than healthy hair, but it still moves in the wind just the same. The skin of a fat person feels the same as the skin from a skinny person, it's the firmness that would be different. If you touched Superman, his skin would feel like skin, but if you pressed down on him it would feel like pressing down on steel that was covered in skin.
As for C-3PO, it could be that the manufacturer of the voice synthesizer had a British accent, and R2-D2 didn't speak english, only beeps, because he's a simple repair droid--which are probably a dime a dozen considering they had like 4 or 6 on Queen Amidala's ship alone, just for that one section of damaage to the wing. I would assume that everything revolves around money, and it comes to the point that why would waste excess money on giving those droids voice synthesizers when they're job doesn't really require them to speak to people. I doubt that they had the intention of creating those droids for space travel and intergalactic adventures.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 01:32, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
