The White Stripes questions and answers

Q: Has Adidas ever released Superstar sneakers that are all black with only three white stripes?
I want a pair but I can only find the superstars with three white stripes but also that white part at the back. I swear I've seen people with all black adidas superstars and the ONLY white on them are the stripes. What are those called? Maybe I've been seeing things.. I cant stand that white part at the back of the Superstars that I've seen recently in stores.. They are definitely not everywhere. I went to four sneaker stores that have adidas. All four had the one with the white heel and three white stripes. Only FootAction had what I wanted but it was different.. all black with three white stripes but underneath the shoe was white! Thats even better than what I wanted, but they didnt have my size! How come I cant find this shoe anywhere? That first link posted is pretty much wanted I wanted but its a euro site.. I'd be paying more and international shipping.. but see what I'm saying.. how do I see this shoe all the time yet it isnt at any stores or can be found at a "reputable" online site? sheeesh! But thanks for the link. Anyone else can help?

A: Like these? http://www.todo-deporte.com/catalogo/en/product_info/products_id/601/name/adidas+superstar+k+black/ I dunno, but from the looks of it, the back/heel part is black? If not, you can always buy the ones with a white heel area and paint it black :b

Q: Can I wear a black shirt with thin white stripes with a dark grey suit?
First off I'm a guy, this is my mom's account. I have a dark grey suit and I'm going to a bachelor party. I was wondering if I could wear a black shirt with thin white stripes (very thin) with a dark grey suit? It shouldn't be formal as the dresscode is "Suit no tie" kinda corny but I think that's the idea. Sort of swingers type thing. The suit is a Banana Republic : http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/outfit.do?cid=5376&oid=OUT03252

A: No way!! it is almost Summer!! Blacks are out , way down in your closet until next cold season!! Use light colors, baby blue, light gray, white and off white are a good choice! Solids are too formal for a bachelor party ,look for those with some pattern or young kind of looking Do not expend a fortune in your clothing!! Bachelor's party have the tendency to go wild!

Q: Is a zebra black with white stripes, or white with black stripes in your opinion?
In my opinion black with white stripes.

A: a zebra is the nastiest, stinkiest, filthiest animal at the zoo

Q: Why are roads black with white stripes?
All roads are the same does this mean countries have copied of each other? Why not yellow with black stripes or white with black stripes, there would be more light at night. Just think when snow falls and besides the ice that comes with it you can see better. Makes sense to me.

A: The black is a result of the petrolium pruducts used when creating ashfalt (road cover) and as you probably know - white stripes are for traffic lanes in you direction - and yellow is for traffic comming against you - i.e. traffic devider. But I like the idea - yellow would be cewl -

Q: White stripes occur while I am typing while watching a video on my Macbook?
I have a two year old Apple Macbook and I have just recently had a problem with watching videos. When I am watching a video, like on YouTube for example, and typing in an Instant Message at the same time, I notice that white stripes show up on the video and/or the video starts to lag. Any help anyone could offer would be great. I want to catch it before it becomes a bigger problem. Thanks!

A: I bet it is your software you may have to reinstall everything.

Q: Help with making pink stripes white again?
I have a maroon basketball uniform with white stripes. After (even careful) washing, the stripes are now pink. My daughter does not like being the only one on the team with pink stripes. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get them white again? Can I get rid of the pink without ruining the maroon part of the uniform?

A: Have you tried color safe bleach? I never wash anything dark in hot/warm water. I goofed up just the other day and washed a maroon item with my white and turned everything pink, not a pretty pink either! Hubby isn't very happy with me... lol I re-washed only my white in hot and bleach 4-5 times before I could get it out... they make whitening balls in the bleach isle in walmart. Give them a try, they aren't just for white clothes. Personally I would NOT try those bleach pens because the bleach will quickly bleed over onto the maroon before you can re-wet it.

Q: What is the story behind Collingwood changing their preseason competition jumper to pink and white stripes?
I heard today that the Magpies were going to use new pink and white striped jumpers in next years preseason games. The reason being is that the players demanded to have a colour that matched the colour of the jocks they all wore. Thats what I heard anyway and I think it is true. Does anyone else know more?

A: yes it is true, the pies just couldnt keep denying their sexuality anymore. they had to let it loose, here is the result :-)

Q: what type of spider has yellow and white stripes going width wise across the body?
yellow, white and black stripes width wise across body. 2 yellow stripes length wise on bottom of body.

A: If it looks like this: http://www.fcps.k12.va.us/StratfordLandingES/Ecology/Arthropods/Black%20and%20Yellow%20Garden%20Spider/byargiope8m1.jpg It is called Argiope aurantia. They are non agressive spiders. I can vouch for that. I have one in my tomatoe garden and doesn't move when I am picking tomatoes. I have read up on them and they look to be a nice kind of spider to have in your garden.

Q: My no-name plant has silver and white stripes on top and burgandy under the leaf?
So, I got a plant. NO idea what its name is to learn to care for it. It is small, one inch leaves. White and Silver Stripes on top and is burgandy on the undersides of each leaf. I thought it was a Wondering Jew or Zebra. But its care guide made the leaves on the bottom of the plant turn brown and shrivel up. Does anyone know what its name might be? If so, how to care for it? Thanks

A: It really sounds like a wandering jew plant generic plant tags are notorious for bad info when the plant has too little light( or too much or too little water) it will lose its oldest leaves and those are the ones you describe morning sun water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feels dry do not let it stand in water fertilize monthly pinch the tips of the trailing stems to encourage branching here is a care link http://www.ehow.com/how_2060469_care-wandering-jew-plant.html

Q: What should I name my cat? It's Grey with white stripes. It's also a runt. Any Suggestions?
My baby kitten is almost 3 weekes old. He's grey with white stripes. He's also the runt. So far he kinda just sleeps or crawls up my arm when I hold him. He doesn't do much but that's probably cause he's young. I can't think of any names. Any Suggestrions?

A: In my opinion, it's more meaningful when you name your pet yourself. Check out these websites for tons of pet name ideas... you can search by breed, gender, color, meaning, and first letter of the name.

Q: Who was the original in the white and red stripes portrait of Obama?
I think I saw that with Lenin or Guevara or... ? I really can't remember and it's impossible to search. Who originally appeared in the red and white stripes portrait we now see with Obama? dingding: Yes, that's exactly the print I was asking about. It reminds me of Soviet art in the 30's, but I think I saw it before with someone else.

A: It was done by a graphic designer named Shepard Fairey, is this the one you're thinking of? All of his work has that vintage radical look to it, inspired by a variety of underground urban artwork from past activists. http://obeygiant.com/headlines/obama
