The built-in cheat in Creatures II is unorthodox. To gain infinite lives, the player must wait for the credits screen to appear, then wet their finger and quickly rub it across Joystick Port One. A big picture of Maximus Mouse (from the games Summer Camp and Winter Camp by Thalamus) will appear, waving his arms every time the player rubs their finger across the port. The player must repeatedly rub the port until Maximus Mouse turns grey, at which point the Fuzzy fountain will also flash to confirm that the cheat is now active.[2]

Korkes said in 2013 that it was illegal to sell a coffin without a death certificate, so he made a deal with the funeral director to pay in cash and have the coffin left outside the rear door to be collected after dark.[1]

On February 26, 2013 a Lawrence, Kansas man with no formal training in sculpture molded a giant block of snow into a temporary inspiration of Michelangelo's David, at roughly 7/17 scale. The four-hour endeavor was a response of one-upsmanship to his sister's snow version of the Star Wars character Yoda, dubbed Snowda, a picture of which was uploaded to George Takei's Facebook Page⧉ and received tens of thousands of "likes."[citation needed]

I've got a round of trivia that's "Name the TV show based on a screenshot of its Wikipedia categories". It's kind of a pain because you get things like X-Files that are 80s/90s/00s/10s horror/sci-fi/conspiracy/mystery shows, and the combinatorial explosion takes up a lot of space.

I know, talk pages are kind of cheating, but:

--Might it be worth putting up some sort of msgbox? I picture something along the lines of this:
      Visitors from xkcd: Secretary Chu did not create the Scroll Lock key.

--A msgbox like that must not be put up unless we have a source establishing that Secretary Chu did not create Scroll Lock key. The Scroll Lock article makes no mention of who created it; we do not yet know whether or not it was Secretary Chu.

Due to its role in permanent magnets used for wind turbines, it has been argued[by whom?] that dysprosium will be one of the main objects of geopolitical competition in a world running on renewable energy. But this perspective has been criticised for failing to recognise that most wind turbines do not use permanent magnets and for underestimating the power of economic incentives for expanded production.[19][20]

Dividend stripping or cum-ex trading can be used as a tax avoidance strategy,[1] enabling a company to distribute profits to its owners as a capital sum, instead of a dividend, which offers tax benefits if the effective tax rate on capital gains is lower than for dividends. For example, consider a company called ProfCo wishing to distribute D, with the help of a stripper company called StripperCo.

1. StripperCo buys ProfCo shares from their present owners for X+D.
2. ProfCo, now owned by StripperCo, declares a dividend of D, which is paid to StripperCo.
3. StripperCo sells its shares back to the owners for X.
The net effect for the owners is a capital gain of +D and a dividend distribution of -D. The net effect for StripperCo is nothing; the dividend it receives is income, and its loss on the share trading is a deduction. StripperCo might need to be in the business of share trading to get such a deduction (i.e. treating shares as merchandise instead of capital assets).

It is important to emphasize the particularity that this species has in its mouth: it has an additional joint between its jaw and the rest of the joints, known as intramandibular joint. This type of joint is also present in other species of fish that feed on nutrients attached to the substrate. By increasing the angle of opening of the jaw, this joint allows kissing gourami access to these nutrients. H. temminkii, however, is the only species known that uses this articulation in this way.
