Candice DeLong's Wikipedia Profile

edit

While reading Candice DeLong's profile, I came across the following sentence: DeLong stated that she used humor to ease tensions while working.[2] She claimed that her three career goals were "to be involved with a high-profile national criminal, I wanted to apprehend a serial killer, and I wanted to rescue a kidnap victim alive and then kill her myself"[3]

I was disturb by the sentence, "and I wanted to rescue a kidnap victim alice and then kill her myself." I do not think Candice DeLong wished to kill anyone. Is this sentence accurate? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.39.211.161 (talk) 09:33, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, it was some vandalism (put in there 8 hours ago). I've undone the edit.  Card Zero  (talk) 09:41, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sexual slang

edit

Exist a term in sexual slang indicates a person that masturbates a woman until she squirts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.20.21.104 (talk) 15:09, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

See Female ejaculation. --Jayron32 05:16, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A web search suggests that the term "squirt master" is used to describe someone who can do this reliably. I expected something more alliterative. -- 203.82.66.204 (talk) 10:55, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A further search turned up a podcasted interview with William H. Nutsack, calling him "the Sultan of Squirt". Alas, this does not seem to be a common term. -- 203.82.66.204 (talk) 13:49, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sat Nav Safety Cameras

edit

Hi. I own a well known Sat Nav device that includes a regular update package of maps and safety (speed) cameras, for the UK (where I live) plus the Republic of Ireland and all other European countries including Greece, Sweden, Poland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, etc., etc. I have noticed when updating the device, as I did tonight, that the UK update took about 2 minutes, whereas none of the other countries' took longer than about 5 to 10 seconds. Does this suggest that the UK is the most heavily populated with Safety (speed) cameras in Europe? Thanks. 62.30.176.76 (talk) 20:47, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

According to this 2009 article, Britain had 4,309 while "Germany has 3,000, Italy fewer than 2,000 and France under 1,000." Can anyone find more recent figures? --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:45, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
