Both sound like food to me. [[User:Mumiemonstret|Mumiemonstret]] ([[User talk:Mumiemonstret|talk]]) 11:36, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

They are the reason that puncture wounds should be cleaned and encouraged to bleed. [[User:Divad27182|Divad27182]] ([[User talk:Divad27182|talk]]) 21:13, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

− | OK, someone is very determined that the cause of all stratification in the Earth's crust is liquefaction. It isn't. I don't want an edit war. Anyone else want to step in? [[User:Nitpicking|Nitpicking]] ([[User talk:Nitpicking|talk]]) 03:26, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

The <nowiki><ref>fed</nowiki> info wasn't really useful on its own, save as a "someone once said..." claim, but is more fully expounded under the author's Wiki page (with additional contextual info). Bear in mind the criticisms (scientific ''and'' religious), that you can find alongside the Amazon sales pages/etc in any search, which remain conspiciously unrebutted by the author in any meaningful way. But it is ''perhaps'' an analysis of curiosity, to mention as an aside to the idea of liquefaction. [[Special:Contributions/172.71.178.54|172.71.178.54]] 11:22, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
