Warm Enema:
Who and Where? The quote goes something like, "A woman can imagine nothing more than her own security."
I'll need an exact quote if you expect me to come up with a decent answer.

Mr. Michel:
Can you explain this british monetary system
British currency is the pound sterling. The pound (£) is made up of 100 pence (p). The most common coins in circulation are of 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p and £1 and £2. Notes are issued in denominations of £5, £10, £20 and £50, and £100 in Scotland and Northern Ireland. (Prior to 1971, £1 was divided into 20 shillings (s) or 240 pence (d), there being 12 pence to the shilling.)

El Saomo:
Where did the bantu language originate?
The Bantu originate from a mix of the Negro Agriculturists (West Africa) and Hamitic pastoralists (North East Africa). They migrated South in different groups over a period of centuries. The Bantu language consists of 200 languages with many different dialects.
The word Bantu was first used by W. H. I. Bleek (1827-75) with the meaning people as this is reflected in many of the languages of this group. A characteristic of Bantu languages is that they use -ntu to refer to a man. ba is a plural in some dialects, becoming ba-ntu. He and later Carl Meinhof did comparative studies of the Bantu language grammars.

What is quantum reality theory?
Quantum theory was not created "out of the blue". It's mathematical framework and ideas grow out of a long history of classical mechanics. A number of certain experiments around the turn of the century created the need to replace the classical theory of matter with a new quantum theory. The first attempt's (Bohr) had remarkable yet limited success. This became known as the Old Quantum Theory. Schrödinger and Heisenberg developed the modern theory, which was extended by Dirac to include relativistic effects.

I feel ignored, Martin!
Why, you didn't ask a question.

That was it, really - four new pages and only seven questions. Bit weak, people.
NEXT!
