Its kind of weird knowing that Clark

voted for Nixon and Raygun twice.

And it should.

Its totally inappropriate and you know it.

Why is that?

Sure is.
My parents did too, but they are strong Democrats.

Why the switch to the democrats?

...my first Presidential was in 1992. I didn't vote for Bush. Or Dole, or Bush...

republican in his life?

for Reagan once and for Poppy Bush the first time. I'm still doing penance.

:spank:

Good thing you've reformed! :) (but quit that smiling while I'm spanking you)

Maybe trying to make a point? I'm at a loss...

Justice/Public Saftey is a pantload.

I didn't see anything that could reasonably be construed as a candidate bash.

Just trying to see if i am the only one who thinks its weird that Clark voted for Nixon and RAYgun and is now one of the top runners in the democratic race. Im really just trying to spark a conversation but everyone seems to be a bit uptight.

How many atoms are in the human body?

Would you settle for a whole bunch? I didn't think so. The number of atoms in one person is almost too big to write out. But fortunately there's a shorthand system, called scientific notation, that we use instead for writing really BIG or really SMALL numbers. Since huge numbers are generally just estimates anyway, we just use the first few numbers, followed by a code that tells you how many zeros would follow if you wrote it all out. Ok, here it goes. Hydrogen, oxygen and carbon make up about 99% of the average human. I'm going to cheat a little and leave out the other 1%, which is made up of trace elements (that is, stuff there's only a trace of in the body). Then, let's assume an average adult weighs 70 kilograms. Be sure to keep in mind that the following numbers are based on the number of atoms, not percent of body weight (by weight we are mostly oxygen). A 70 kg body would have approximately 7*1027 atoms. That is, 7 followed by 27 zeros:

7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Of that, 4.7*1027 would be hydrogen atoms, which have one proton and one electron each. Another 1.8*1027 would be oxygen, which has 8 protons, 8 neutrons and 8 electrons. There are 7.0*1026 carbon atoms, which have 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons. Now, let's add that all up:


Protons Neutrons Electrons

Hydrogen 4.7*1027 0 4.7*1027

Oxygen 1.4*1027 1.4*1027 1.4*1027

Carbon 4.2*1026 4.2*1026 4.2*1026

Total 6.5*1027 1.8*1027 6.5*1027


Well, you'll have to agree that really is a whole bunch.

if you don't mind me asking or anything...I don't mean this to be a flame of some sorts.

You actually had to type out 27 zeros. You should try without the comma next time. I figured it was a high number though so this isnt all that weird. Just a nice bit of info. Thanks. :-)

in 1984 and Bush the Smarter in 1988. Then I was introduced to the Clinton campaign in 1992. I changed my registration and I haven't voted Repuke since.

I was just not very involved in politics before '92. I voted Repuke because my parents were Repukes and I didn't pay much attention to the differences between the parties before the 1992 election.
