And the second time you've missed the point. It hardly matters if those pressures will ever exist in homes or manufacturing facilities. What does matter is...
No, it's the 2nd time it's been claimed that millions of dollars can be spent frivolously and it is justifiable. An example from another field, millions of...
... I have a few textbooks here that pre-date the release of the official periodic table with chemical Element listings as well as a more recent textbook on ...
Doesn't the periodic order go back almost 200 years? H2 has always been in the metal list, even though it was a gas and not a particularly good conductor under...
Think that was my comment, J.B. Since jr. college chemistry .001. Tha's what my instructor said, as it has a valence of 1 (1 electron in outer electron...
The life cycle of the common house fly has beem studied for many years before the Fed Gov't got into the business. Thus, paid for by private funds at first....
... Common house flies do not transmit diseases like Malaria, West Nile Virus, possibly even bird flu (H5N1). House flies are fine outside, they help decompose...
Uh, as I recall, the common housefly's fuzzy little feet have been shown to act as a vector for quite a few nasty disseases. Their varried diet (excrement,...
... That's why we kill them when they come in the house and don't let them get near our food. I've thrown things out after flies landed on them. Are you really...
I think you are missing the obvious. In studying house flys we are cheaply studying DNA, herritability of traits, and a bunch of other issues that may,...
... When you point at me, you have three fingers pointing back at yourself. ... All those same sorts of things could be learned by studying the Anopheles ...
Neither of your examples were frivolous, since both the mosquito and housefly are dissease carriers. You call frivolous what you do not understand or what...

All those same sorts of things could be learned by studying the Anopheles mosquito, that knowledge would also help us in our efforts to control and eradicate...
... Actually the order of elements goes back ~ 2300 years with Aristotle's simple Four element theory: earth, air, fire & water. There is a reasonably credible...
... Houseflies are not usually a problem for long, inside houses, unless allowed to remain by the residents. They are almost never a problem out of doors, at...
These two new elements were produced in the laboratory by directing beam of protons head on against a beam of Antiprotons. In *my* mind, this points very...
Equally obvious: Perhaps we could genetically modify the anopheles mosquito such that it would no longer be a host for the Malaria critter. Instead perhaps,...
Any desire for my newsletter, described below? Just email me off line. Ahhhh - just another example of Email's mis-attributation! "twas I, Bruce! Real...
