Now why did Randall Munroe go with the old 1960s notion of putting gamma/cosmic rays at the high end of the spectrum. Back then certain events in detectors were thought to be caused by photons of higher frequency than gamma rays, but now those are known to instead be made by very energetic charged nuclei not electromagnetism. Thus "cosmic rays" not part of EM spectrum at all. --[[User:RalphSiegler|RalphSiegler]] ([[User talk:RalphSiegler|talk]]) 15:07, 7 July 2013 (UTC) | Now why did Randall Munroe go with the old 1960s notion of putting gamma/cosmic rays at the high end of the spectrum.

:Going forward, I'll assume {{w|WP:BOLD|Wikipedia's "Be bold" guideline}} applies to this wiki (although not part of the wikimedia project), too. Thus, I'll continue to make changes I consider uncontroversial without first discussing them, if I'm sufficiently confident in them, including major ones. In judging how controversial a potential change might be, I'll take the respective article's edit history and talk page into account. I try to write good edit summaries, so these should usually give you my reason or motivation for making the edit it question. If you revert them, please {{w|Wikipedia:Revert only when necessary#Explain_reverts|do tell why you disagree with the specific edit}} ({{w|Wikipedia:Don't revert due solely to "no consensus"|except that is hasn't previously been discussed}}) in the edit summary or on the talk page, so that a discussion can actually start.<br />--[[User:Das-g|Das-g]] ([[User talk:Das-g|talk]]) 12:49, 6 August 2013 (UTC) | :Going forward, I'll assume {{w|WP:BOLD|Wikipedia's "Be bold" guideline}} applies to this wiki (although not part of the wikimedia project), too.

I doubt "mail-order X-Ray glasses" is a reference to full body scanners, for the following two reasons: | I doubt "mail-order X-Ray glasses" is a reference to full body scanners, for the following two reasons: | ||
# {{w|Full body scanner}}s are heavy and bulky equipment. While —if you'd manage to order one— you can probably have it shipped to a destination of your choice, delivery will most likely not happen by mail, which would be the definition of a {{w|mail order}}. | # {{w|Full body scanner}}s are heavy and bulky equipment.
