Lol, I think I'm going to like this course on symmetries in quantum mechanics.
On a previous exam this was a question

Three Helium-3 atoms walk into a bar. All energy levels of this trio are doubly degenerate.
What can be done to undo their doubling?

I was searching something on google and the string started as - "why isn't..." just as I finished typing that the first suggestion chrome throws at me is Why isn't Bleach 547 out...Manga otakus are taking over the world.
Buahaha.
<the suggestion after "why" was why so serious...we still need to beat the DC fanboys>

Ok. As long as you can explain why Nickel rusts, and Platinum doesn't. Then you get an extra five hundred million dollars bonus. Otherwise... You're FIRED!

I read today that they are still arguing about the lowest electron energy state of Nickel...

They remind me of me.

Just make sure that you are using a paper filter for your coffee. There is a substance in coffee called cafestol that raises LDL cholesterol, but it has been found that filtering through paper removes it.

Cafestol, a compound found in coffee, elevates cholesterol by hijacking a receptor in an intestinal pathway critical to its regulation, said researchers from Baylor College of Medicine in a report that appears in the July issue of the journal Molecular Endocrinology.
In fact, cafestol is the most potent dietary cholesterol-elevating agent known, said Dr. David Moore, professor of molecular and cellular biology at BCM, and Dr. Marie-Louise Ricketts, a postdoctoral student and first author of the report. Cafetiere, or French press coffee, boiled Scandinavian brew and espresso contain the highest levels of the compound, which is removed by paper filters used in most other brewing processes.

9. Is drinking coffee made with a paper filter healthier than drinking boiled coffee or other types of coffee?

Coffee contains a substance called cafestol that is a potent stimulator of LDL cholesterol levels. Cafestolis found in the oily fraction of coffee, and when you brew coffee with a paper filter, the cafestol gets left behind in the filter. Other methods of coffee preparation, such as the boiled coffee common in Scandinavian countries, French press coffee, or Turkish coffee, are much higher in cafestol. So for people who have high cholesterol levels or who want to prevent having high cholesterol levels, it is better to choose paper filtered coffee or instant coffee, since they have much lower levels of cafestol than boiled or French press coffee.Espresso is somewhere in the middle; it has less cafestol than boiled or French press coffee, but more than paper filtered coffee.

You just reminded me of this quote:
“Women can accept the fact that a man is a rotter, a swindler, a drug taker, a confirmed liar, and a general swine, without batting an eyelash, and without its impairing their affection for the brute in the least. Women are wonderful realists. ”
-Dame Agatha Christie

Girls are crazzzzzy...

I only go for very nice guys, and I know lisab feels the same. IMO, something is wrong with the self esteem of women that go for creeps.

I expect the next flurry of studies will advise heavy doses of deep fat, steak, and cream pies.

Very true, we need cholesterol, including LDL, and LDL has a purpose, but here is when it starts to become damaging. I guess you could blame the white blood cells.

Some LDL cholesterol circulating through the bloodstream tends to deposit in the walls of arteries. This process starts as early as childhood or adolescence.

White blood cells swallow and try to digest the LDL, possibly in an attempt to protect the blood vessels. In the process, the white blood cells convert the LDL to a toxic (oxidized) form.

More white blood cells and other cells migrate to the area, creating steady low-grade inflammation in the artery wall.

Over time, more LDL cholesterol and cells collect in the area. The ongoing process creates a bump in the artery wall called a plaque. The plaque is made of cholesterol, cells, and debris.

The process tends to continue, growing the plaque and slowly blocking the artery.

And how does one survive a ten story fall?
(the 'corpse' disposal was quite easily managed but the skull should have been strawberry jam on the pavement.
Ergo something had to slow down the fall with condition that realism was intended...)EDIT: distraction, Cyclist, Bach and Madam Tussad.
