    ahh, thank you jimbo. that is really helpful. have you ever had like a nagging factoid that for some reason felt important. thats how this is to me. although, its not true i always tell folks that if i jump their car off it would end up on the moon. i know iknow that it would be the same as a regular car

    I feel empowered by the internet. For decades, I had this feeling "I read something about that once" and had no indexing system to ever find the data again. Now a days it looks like I know my stuff, when it is still the same 'I should know this' feeling, followed by 1/4 hour in Google/Wikipeadia/bookmarks and I have a good answer. If I ever figure out how to google wisdom, instead of mere facts, watch out!
