Any Physicist folks out there? I've got a small thrill on Marie Curie and need advice
110 years ago she and her husband discovered Polonium and Radium and coined the phrase "radioactive"!

13. A science geek thread? I'd tunnel through the electrons and would've lepton the thread
if I'd known about it earlier. I get a charge out of such things, but most copycats leave me neutral. I guess it's just a quark of mine. :shrug:

16. I can either read what your post is saying or understand what it means
But I can't do both at the same time.

22. Ya know, we've never seen him so yes, it could be
Four type of quarks (up,down, charmed, strange) at least thats all I can recall at the moment.
By the way, speaking of DuStrange I'm PISSED. He has more hits on DuStrange and sexy than Turtlensue and sexy. I think this is an issue I need to solve!
