However, sound will travel at different speeds depending on the medium it is passing through. Due to this, the "Mach" number is based on the speed of sound in a vacuum.
So, you're saying sound has a spiritual air about it and an empty-headed medium is a sound trap?
Huh


Cool




Off topic but I just had a call on my cell phone. He said "Hello is 'H' there" So I said 'yes, H is there because he is not here'. It was a very odd wrong number..  Shocked

Strange, if not weird. I haven't been in Canada since the last century, once for a pew delivery/installation in Toronto and once or twice passing through Ontario from Michigan to NewYork.

The office supply store, Staples, is actually named for C.S. (Clive Staples) Lewis.

C.S. Lewis died on November 22, 1963, the same day as Aldous Huxley and John Kennedy.

It is not true that the bra was invented by Otto Titzling, the flush toilet by John Crapper, or the guillotine by Doctor Joseph-Ignace Guillotin. However it is true that the first commercially successful vulcanized rubber condom was invented by Dick Sheather.

I'm sure many of you cooks out there have preserved fruit in a Mason Jar. Common sense would dictate that the process should be called Masoning or perhaps bottling. But it isn't. It's called canning. This is because it is named after Sir George Canning, who invented this method while being the Ambassador to Portugal. He used it to preserve lemons.
