Miss-take PT,
Just off hand, can you tell me what a "Sprue bushing" is for? Can you
explain the "Pythagorean theorem"? I'll bet you could learn a whole
"passel" of stuff from us lesser beings if you would get off your
"high horse" and join the rest of us on THIS planet.

1) Sprue bushing? I believe that has something to do with the injection
moulding of polymers, right? I think, if memory serves, that its function is
to provide a firm seating for the press nozzle, providing a path for the
molten material from the nozzle to the runner system. But, of course, I
could be wrong; it's a while since I did any physics...
2) Pythagoras? The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the
squares of the other two sides. Thus we have H²=S1²+S2². That good enough
for you or would you like some worked examples? There are two perfect
triangles the 3,4,5 triangle and the 5,12.13 triangle where all three sides
are whole numbers.
3) No thanks. I'll wait for the rest of you to join me on mine... ;o)
Anything else you'd like to know? The carbon cycle? Avogadro's constant? The
Haber process? How about the basics of thermodynamics (not one of my fortes
I'm afraid)? How about stellar spectrumography (but again, it's something
I'm only beginning to understand myself)? My real strength is Greek, Roman
and Egyptian mythology and deities. But I wouldn't expect you to be
interested in anything like that.
