Hi, Andrew. I answered about Lic and Ing. in Monagas. Cool work you are doing. Regards, --Periergeia (talk) 16:01, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Farragut, Tennessee
I've added a source for Loudon County. No wonder your map doesn't show it: as the estimated population of the Loudon County part of Farragut was only four people in 2007, it's surely not very large. Nyttend (talk) 20:02, 30 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I looked at Nyttend's source, and I don't see where it places any part of Farragut in Loudon County. The town's website says it's in Knox County; there's no mention of Loudon. Since current Tennessee law makes cross-county-line annexations very difficult (except where the municipality spanned the county line before the current law was enacted), I'm very skeptical of the assertion that Farragut includes a house or two in Loudon County. --Orlady (talk) 20:23, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Look at the source, line 673: part of the town of Farragut is located in county 105, which is Loudon County. How can there be confusion?  Nyttend (talk) 20:37, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That's odd though. Why doesn't the town's site or any official maps show it? --AW (talk) 21:29, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * If part of Farragut were in Loudon County, I would think that the state GIS would show that information on this map. Farragut bumps right up against the county line in the Knox County map. My guess is that there is a glitch in the Census Bureau's geographic data files. I happen to think that local and state government documents are far more reliable sources regarding the location of a municipality than outputs from federal statistical databases. --Orlady (talk) 21:43, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, if you look at that first map you linked to, there's a tiny part of Farragut in Loudon county, up to Harrison Lane. If you zoom in there's a little orange area of the city. --AW (talk) 21:47, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Other than the map AW mentions, the Geographic Names Information System lists Farragut in Loudon County.[] This table from the Census Bureau also lists part of Farragut in Loudon County, with a population of 2 in 2000. [ Loudon County].DCmacnut &lt; &gt; 01:13, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Trigger Happy TV
By 'stitched up' I was thinking of shows along the lines of Beadle's About or Punk'd where the the public/celebrities fall victim to practical jokes or pranks. This happens to some extent in Trigger but the main role the public play is simply to observe Joly. Glad you like the re-write, I'm just about to add an info box and screen cap.
