Are shorts for men "acceptable attire for islamic cultural traditions"?
I am in Sarajevo and would like to see the mosques. They say you must wear acceptable attire for islamic cultural traditions, and it is very hot for a northern european, so would like to wear shorts.

A few weeks back I saw a man walking around in a Tommy Hilfiger T-Shirt, Khaki shorts, Chuck Taylor shoes and Oakley shades.
His wife (or sister, but probably wife) next to him was wearing a full burqa.
I'd say you're good.
No, Lost completely jumped the shark. They tied up some loose ends but completely neglected others, the loose ends they tied up were often tied up in extremely poor ways and it became painfully obvious that no one involved with the show had any idea what they were doing when they started it, which is something of a prerequisite for a show that is basically a mystery. Not every show can be Twin Peaks and actually pull the 'making it all up as we go along' schtick off. And Lost's ending seems specifically-designed to piss off the fans that put up with the crazy last few seasons in the hope that the really good first few seasons would have a pay-off.
Generally no. Go for long-sleeves and trousers (or sarongs, or something). But as cardgame said:
And also, it's Sarajevo. Bosnians tend to not be strict about religious attire. But I'd still wear trousers rather than shorts just to be safe (and you look classier too).
LOST is, uhm, I must say, something of an acquired taste. If you want straight, logical, scientific answers to the mysteries, then you won't like the show.
Overall I'm okay with how they wrapped the show up.
There's some explanatory stuff here (Spoiler warning); still only a fan theory but the best I've seen.

@Samson: Just wear something that demonstrates your respect for the holiness of your surroundings. Pretend that you're visiting somewhere, you know, important...
No shorts.

Thanks for the advice on Lost guys. I am kind of regretting starting to watch it again...my wife is really into it now but I am bored already. I was really into it for the first few seasons and so I remember all the episodes quite well and watching them again has no impact. Hopefully I can stomach the last seasons; I was able to deal with the last season of Battlestar so maybe I can do it.
@TK - I don't expect logical answers from the show, I just didn't like how they kept pilling on the mysteries without ever resolving anything. It got rediculous and turned me off after a while. Of course, being able to watch them all at once instead of a week at a time lessens the frustration.

The last season of Battlestar does not deserve its reputation.

The last season of Battlestar was crazier than the last season of Farscape, and that is saying something.
I think you're right too.
I actually watched the special features for Season 1 last night, and Lindelhof confirms it

2 questions, unrelated to each other.
1: Are there any universal knowledge websites with knowledge about anything and everything, that would be a good alternative to Wikipedia? (No, search engines don't count.)
2: If one wanted a land or code of laws with extremely little or absolutely no laws restricting copulation, would that be considered something like a "sexual anarchist", or something else? (Nothing squicky here, I'm genuinely curious about terminology and such, which to call what, etc.)

Look. I'm having a lot of trouble with this.
I've got a chariot, right? (Actually, I'm well supplied with chariots. Which is just as well.)
But how do I make one into a chariot of fire?
Each time I try to harness a bit of fire to my chariot (at the front end), I just end up with a smoking wreck.
What do I do?
The tractive force of fire seems a bit feeble too. Even doubling up on fire, either side of the pole bit at the front of my chariot, doesn't seem to help.
