Yeah, I heard about that. It's also used for cleaning tools and stuff. Quite agressive.
Another interesting fact:
Water is considered to be the strangest substance on this planet. Almost all substances shrink when cooled down but water expands. When solid (ice) what is less dense then when liquid, it needs ten time as much energy to heat up as iron does and over time water can dissolve almost everything. _________________ Tygon Panthera - name and species

The most complex food is (and now old on to your munchies) chocolate. it contains over 300 chemical substances including coffein, flour and various stuff that has effects close to those of drugs. Chocolate was first created by the Mayans over 2,000 years ago BTW _________________ Tygon Panthera - name and species

Thats a rather rude and thoughtless remark. Please do not try to sell your opinions off as being factual. There are many who consider it a blessing that a president isn't killed durring term, and wishing anyone to be murdered is horrible, specially if you don't really know the person you want killed. Please think before you speak, you comment was excesivly rude. |
Sorry B but I'm going to have to go with Styx on this one, I know many people, my wife included, whose lives were destroyed by that mans financial policy. Reagonomics were a blight on the system and the fact that two more presidents have continued it is a travisty. _________________ Bad moods are like hangovers, they eventually go away. - A.

I'd like to know what the crease that connects the bottom of a hyooman's nose to their top of their lip is called. Anyone? |
I know quite a few collegiate fencers who use the stuff to clean super glue off of there blades before rewiring them.

Actually the HUMAN genome is much larger than that. If we were to use the geneticists' simple four letter code system for the nucleotides, (that is T = Thymine, A = Adenosine, G = Guanine, and C = Cytosine) We would find that the HUMAN genome is 3.2 BILLION letters long!
Also the T's and the A's pair up and the C's and the G's pair up. The end of the chromosomes are marked by a quadruple helix of G's bonded in four fold symmetry with themselves. (I am a chemist and took a fundamentals Biophysics course in my final semester.) |
