I suspect, based on your question, that you found one of our over 3.8 million articles and thought we were affiliated in some way with that subject. Please note that you are at Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit. PrimeHunter (talk) 05:25, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

types of sandals[edit]

How many types of sandals are there today worn by women? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.29.32.31 (talk) 05:14, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It would depend on factors like when something is considered a distinct type, how many women must wear it, and perhaps you are mainly interested in one country. You could start at Sandal#Variants. PrimeHunter (talk) 05:20, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I mean flip-flops, birkenstock, and chappals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.31.22.61 (talk) 01:44, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

See Whitechurch, Dublin. The Mark of the Beast (talk) 07:47, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Your question's a bit obscure. Do you mean Whitechurch, Dublin 16? In which case you're probably thinking of the Wicklow Mountains. -- Arwel Parry (talk) 07:51, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
And when you found this page after ten minutes, did you read the advice at the top which said "Is there any way I can get a faster answer"? --ColinFine (talk) 19:00, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kieppusarvivuohi[edit]

I have the Finnish translation of Don Rosa's comic Mythological Menagerie but not the original English one. I can figure out the names for all the creatures the Junior Woodchucks encounter except for one: the kieppusarvivuohi, or "goat with spinning horns". According to Don Rosa, every single animal the Junior Woodchucks encounter (except for the hideous monstrosity at the very end) is a real mythological animal. So what is this goat with a spinning fan stuck on top of it supposed to be? JIP | Talk 20:12, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is called "eale" or Yale. "The Eale lives in India, has the body of a horse and the tail of an elephant. His color is black and he has the head of a goat, with horns more than a cubit long which are not fixed but movable according to the exigency of battle. And when he fights with one he bends the other back."[1] --Itinerant1 (talk) 21:59, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Doe this dish exist?[edit]

Is their a food stuff called "marzipan potatoes"? I suspect it was a mistake in the video game I was playing? 86.178.202.171 (talk) 21:10, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
