  • Is there a way that I can check the variety of words used in a Microsoft Word document?

    The Word Count function tells me total words and total characters used, but I was wondering if there was some sort of function or add-on that would tell me how vast of a vocabulary was used in a specific text. Basically, something that recognizes words that are used more than once and only counting them once.

    An example of what I'm looking for would be something that says:

    Words in document: 5,247

    Word variety: 1,626

    Perhaps with frequency of word use, (Most Used Word: "the" 289 times) though this isn't necessary.

    Thanks!

  • What is the magic of Rice Malt and Evaporated Cane Juice?

    I've been eating some gluten-free all-natural trailmix-type bars lately, and I've been wondering how they hold together. Looking at the ingredients, it seems to be all nuts, fruits, and seeds, except for rice malt, natural flavors, evaporated cane juice, and sea salt. Does anyone know of a recipe to make a natural adhesive out of these ingredients?

  • What sorts of nutrients are present in or missing from Trail Mix?

    I've been thinking about going on a Trail Mix diet and starting a new exercise routine. I make my own trail mix using various nuts, banana chips, chocolate chips, dried fruit (usually something like Craisins), and sunflower seeds. Since I'm going to be exercising, I figure that this mix will give me good energy, but I am concerned about the amount of protein I'll need as well as other nutritional factors such as vitamin and mineral balance. What other sorts of things can I add into my diet to fill these deficiencies? I have some nutritional sensitivities, and am therefore looking for the most minimalist diet possible.

  • What are some good movies involving conspiracies?

    I'm trying to remember the name of a movie where there was supposedly some group or organization "responsible for every major political assassination for the past 200 years," or something like that. It's not Conspiracy Theory by Mel Gibson.

  • How can I get dreadlocks by back combing?

    I have fairly straight and thick hair, and I want to make it into dreadlocks. As far as I understand, I have the option of spending $250 on a perm of some sort, or I can backcomb it and twist it all up and get it all gunky. I prefer the second option if it is at all effective and easy to do without screwing up. Does anyone have any tips, advice, or explanation on how to do it, exactly?

    Thanks!

  • What is the name and artist of that one song that's not by Pink Floyd?

    They play it on the radio a lot. It sounds like it could be by Pink Floyd, mostly cuz it has a continual guitar "doey-doodly" thing going on during the verse section and it's all echo-y. I know it's not Pink Floyd, though, because on the chorus it goes "Whoa-oa-oa, Whoa-oa-oa"

  • How much does a newly-enlisted private in the USMC make?

    I found a military pay chart, but I am wondering if the number listed is monthly pay or if it is for each paycheck. In other words, would I get $1400 twice a month, on the 1st and the 15th, or would I get $1400/month, split between the two paychecks?

  • What's that one quote?

    The general idea is something like "A lady should be treated as such until she makes it clear that she prefers otherwise" or something, but I have a feeling it was a little more cleverly-worded. Bonus points for knowing the author. Thanks!

  • How can I make Saiyan boots?

    I'm making my own costume for Halloween this year, and I'm going to be Goku from Dragon Ball Z. I was wondering where I could get a pair of boots that somewhat resemble his that I could then modify further. Or, if there's some store out there on the internet that sells pre-made saiyan boots.

  • Honda Prelude Owners: What Do You Think?

    My family has been looking around, on Craigslist, etc., for another car to drive. We came across a listing for a 1990 Honda prelude at a good price, and I'm definitely interested in at least looking into it. I looked up the specs online, however, and saw its gas mileage listed as 22 city, 27 highway. This sounds to me to be very low, coming from a manufacturer such as Honda, considering the 1993 Civic I used to drive got in the mid-thirties most of the time.

    If you own a Prelude: What has your experience been with it in general? What do you like and dislike about driving it. Is the fuel economy really as poor compared to other Honda models? Please include year and trim, and whether it is manual or automatic transmission. Thanks.
