[Deadfire]

Today I learned that if October 19 is a Sunday, then October 21 is a Saturday

How does this work? I'm confused as well

[complich8]

I think it's caused by swamp gas from a weather balloon that was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.

They got to you too, eh?

Somewhat related...today I learned that there is actually a little landrover on Mars at the moment. It's been there for a few years, running off of solar power, and has gone a considerable distance to take pictures and analyze dirt 'n rocks. I always knew they had sent one, I just didn't know it was still up there.

Today I learned that just because I work at a hospital doesnt mean I cant get sick

[Kraco]

Ho... Aren't you supposed to be an old acquaintance of MRSA and other jolly good superbugs if you work at a hospital, near the patients?

[Phoenix20578]

Yeah, unfortunetly...... Luckly, I get good medical coverage cause I work there

Today I leared why sweating actually cools you down. Apparently, it's not the act of sweating itself, but the evaporation of the sweat into the atmosphere. The evaporation proceess asorbs heat, taking heat from the body. Now, this is also why a humid day feels so uncomfy. The more humid the air is, the more water is in the atmosphere, so when you sweat the sweat won't likely evaporate, thus no transfer of heat and uncomfort.

I actually learned this awhile ago, but found it fascinating.

Today I learned the the largest word ever made that meant something is the following

It means the "an enzyme consisting of 267 amino acids" or a tryptophan synthetase A protein."Chemical terms should not in my opinion be listed as long words. Many, many compounds are so complex that their names would be horrific and probably beat the ones listed in all known sources. It is exceedingly hard to reconstruct the correct structure from the name, and many attempts are made to automate the process from structure to name and vice versa. To have the longest word, it would only require finding a larger protein, and as proteins are discovered at a rate of hundreds to thousands per week it wouldn't be sporty to accept those names as 'words.' Similar spelling-out for DNA sequences would yield even longer words as the DNA is continous for up to several hundred million bases where each base would be named something like 'uracilphosphate.'"

I apologize for the mass confusion I caused. It wasn't supposed to make sense because it was a typo of some sort I saw on a document.

Do a google search on "an enzyme consisting of 267 amino acids" and you will find I'm not.

I need to learn that... I always refrain from hitting an idiot.
