Has anyone here read the Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison memoir?
Whoever read it, did you like it? Is it as witty as the Netflix show? Is it highly recommend on alot of people's reading list? I was thinking of reading it myself. 50.68.252.153 (talk) 00:24, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

What kind of piercing is getting a ring beside the eyebrow but not exactly at the eyebrow?
I want to get a piercing like that. 50.68.252.153 (talk) 02:56, 2 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Self-harm. HiLo48 (talk) 03:17, 2 September 2018 (UTC)


 * I doubt you need a formal name for it when you go to your local piercing store - just tell them exactly what you want done. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 04:50, 2 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Googling "types of piercings" yields a lot of results, including this. Eyebrow piercing is mentioned. Much of it is too cringe-worthy for myself (and probably HiLo48 as well) to want to read in detail. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 04:55, 2 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Don't look up the Prince Albert piercing. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 03:10, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
 * That's one most everyone looks down on. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 07:07, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Who is the country that has the smallest (in % of the country area, not area) average island size?
Who is the country that has the smallest (in % of the country area, not area) average island size?

EXTRA RULES: Each non-adjacent area that is not an island count as 1, so USA have at least mainland usa, alaska hawaii (and more). Liechtenstein has a value of 100% since the country is a single landlocked area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.177.211.51 (talk) 04:11, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Well ... any country without any islands would have zero percent average island size as a percent of country area. 2606:A000:1126:4CA:0:98F2:CFF6:1782 (talk) 04:22, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Perhaps the OP could give us an example, to make their question clearer. HiLo48 (talk) 04:28, 2 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Liechtenstein might qualify. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 04:47, 2 September 2018 (UTC)


 * The largest body of water in the State of Vatican City is Fontana dell'Aquilone ("Eagle fountain") -- which has two tiny bits that could be considered islands. The average island size is perhaps less than 1 m2; the State of Vatican City is 0.44 km2. 107.15.157.44 (talk) 05:08, 2 September 2018 (UTC) ... (photo on Trip Advisor)
 * Liechtenstein's entire western border is the Rhine and it has several canals and streams and ponds, and from a quick glance at Google Maps it looks like there are a few islands. Adam Bishop (talk) 10:42, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
 * How much of the Rhine belongs to Liechtenstein, and which country do the islands belong to? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 13:34, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Not that it's any indication of accuracy, but walking down the river with Google Maps shows the boundary exactly in the middle of the carefully channeled Rhine -- which to me doesn't seem to have any islands per se, but rather, seasonal sand bars. The official Swiss topo gives the same impression (kinda fun to explore: .) --jpgordon&#x1d122;&#x1d106; &#x1D110;&#x1d107; 14:41, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
 * (ec) "Lake" Sägaweier has a couple of islands, so the island fraction for Liechtenstein is not zero. What you see in the Rhine are bars, not islands. --Wrongfilter (talk) 14:51, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

Why doesn't my user-page exist?
Simple, just why doesn't it exist? AdamFra (talk) 13:42, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Because you haven't saved any edits to it. Go to User:AdamFra, put some stuff there, then click "publish changes."  Ian.thomson (talk) 13:43, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

But I just created my account. AdamFra (talk) 14:54, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Your user page is a distinct part of the account. It is not automatically generated, you need to make it yourself.  Ian.thomson (talk) 14:09, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
 * It's optional for registered users to make a user page, also for editors. PrimeHunter (talk) 15:20, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Your user talk page also does not exist - for the same reason.  When someone sends you a message (not just a ping) it will exist - you will then see some kind of notification, provided you are logged in - it used to be an orange message bar across the screen stating

Another way to tell is that when they exist they will be linked in your signature in blue - thus AdamFra ( talk ) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.133.58.87 (talk) 15:48, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
