  1. are extra super absorbant.
  2. Getting us back in sync with the post number, 1261...1262 Reviewing the posts shows we had two with 1238. Perhaps we should have made it to 100 since going up to 10000 seems difficult for some
  3. Another board game I thought of that would make my top 5 list is called Acquire. I haven't played it in quite a few years, but want to add it to my stock of games. Here is a short description for those not familiar with it. Description As a powerful real estate tycoon, there are only seven hotel chains in the world worthy of your attention. Using nothing but your wealth and wits, you must vie against other business magnates to manipulate construction and capitalize on mergers -- buying, trading, and selling stocks in order to get the greatest return on your investments. Acquire challenges you to pit your resources- resolve against other players in this high-finance game of speculation and strategy!
  4. You're going by the old adage, what we call a rose would still be a rose by any other name. This is true, but I can't agree that not learning that a rose is classified as a plant rather than a tree is not important. The same can be said about a planet versus a dwarf planet or plutoid. I did a little surfing today and discovered several articles on the web that may interest some of you. Plutoid Chosen as Name for Solar System Objects Like PlutoWhat is a Planet?Pluto and the Developing Lanscape of Our Solar SystemI thought these were pretty revealing about the pluto like objects in our solar system. The first article includes some cool pictures of Pluto and Eris with their moons. The second gives a little background on the discussions about pluto leading up to now. It also talks about how teachers should handle the question of how many planets are in our solar system. The last talks about the intial discovery of pluto and how things have changed in recent years. We definitely have 8 classical planets in our solar system. As for the rest, I think I'll let the experts decide.
  5. By JOVE I believe I should cry foul here, jave is an acronym not a word.
  6. This topic inspired me to find out more about antimatter. I used google to find a CERN site called Antimatter:Mirror of the Universe that may interest a few of you. I have plenty more to read and learn, but did find one statement appropriate for this discussion... So it appears we are a ways off from making it a future energy source.
  7. This is much harder than the four letter one. The st combination at the front really limits things. staid
  8. Good idea to mention the optional inclusion of a port value. From my understanding it is only necessary if the default port (3306) is not used and the mysql.default_host directive is undefined. Here is an excerpt from the PHP: mysql_connect - Manual.
