How about Boulder? The dam is a bit better known. alteripse 03:34, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
Yeah but the dam's name is Hoover Dam. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 04:04, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
Yeah, but originally it was called Boulder Dam; Boulder_Dam#The_naming_controversy ¦ Reisio 04:20, 2005 August 22 (UTC)
Yeah, and Old New York was once New Amsterdam. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 05:14, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
Yeah, and one time my sister and her friends dressed up like The Bangles and made a music video, but that's also completely irrelevant. ¦ Reisio 05:23, 2005 August 22 (UTC)

unidentified insect (from Wikipedia:Reference desk)
Does anyone recognize this insect? I found it lying on the garden steps in Baltimore, on August 12, 2005; it had been killed and nibbled, probably by my sister's cat. The wings visible here span about 12 cm/5 in.; the second pair of wings was badly damaged, either by the cat or by the ants that were carrying away what was left. —Charles P.

Looks like a common moth to me.
"recognize this insect" like, did we meet it while it was alive, or just the species? -- Jmabel | Talk 19:15, August 14, 2005 (UTC)
We need to inform its immediate family, don't we? ~~ N (t/c) 19:16, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
Yes. At least we don't have to worry about them finding out by seeing its poor, mangled body here on Wikipedia: as any spider will tell you, insects don't even notice the web. -- Jmabel | Talk 19:36, August 14, 2005 (UTC)
From
the turnip wars. I can't think of anything else to say in defence of my species.
