Those Wierd Symbols on our Electronics

clipper's remarks: These always puzzled me.. Now i know..

Clip Source: www.wired.com

The use of this abbreviation for European Community (the precursor to the European Union) dates back to 1992. It indicates that in the EU, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein a gadget is regulated by and conforms to any number of 21 safety and inter operability guidelines.

If it's digital, chances are it bears the mark of the Federal Communications Commission. The logo confirms that a product doesn't operate on restricted bands of the radio spectrum or interfere with other devices, and that RF emissions are at levels safe for human exposure.

Danger, Will Robinson! This warning can mean anything from electrocution hazard to possible exposure to battery acid. The symbol is one of many workplace-safety signs recognized by the 155-country International Organization for Standardization.

The coldest place in the universe?

But the Boomerang Nebula is cold: Radio measurements indicate the inner part is only one degree above absolute zero. We are able to see the nebula because dust particles reflect light from the central star.

The Hubble Space Telescope captured this image of the Stingray Nebula, the youngest known planetary nebula. In this image, the bright central star is in the middle of the green ring of gas. Its companion star is diagonally above it at 10 o'clock. The red curved lines represent bright gas that is heated by a "shock" caused when the central star's wind hits the walls of the bubbles. The nebula is as large as 130 solar systems, but, at its distance of 18,000 light-years, it appears only as big as a dime viewed a mile away. The colors shown are actual colors emitted by nitrogen (red), oxygen (green) and hydrogen (blue).

Caffeine Facts

CAFFEINE FACTS

The average American drinks 210 milligrams of caffeine a day. That’s equivalent to 2-3 cups of coffee, depending on how strong it is.

How you make your coffee has a lot to do with how much caffeine you get. Instant coffee contains 65 milligrams of caffeine per serving; coffee brewed in a percolator has 80 milligrams; and coffee made using the "drip method" has 155 milligrams.

Top four sources of caffeine in the American diet: coffee, soft drinks, tea, and chocolate, in that order. The average American gets 75% of their caffeine from coffee.

What happens to the caffeine that’s removed from decaf coffee? Most of it is sold to soda companies and put into soft drinks. (Cola contains some caffeine naturally, but they like to add even more.)

Do you drink more caffeine than your kids do? If you correct for body weight, probably not. Pound for pound, kids often get as much caffeine from chocolate and soft drinks as their parents get from coffee, tea, and other sources.

How Caffeine Works!

BACKGROUND

If you start the day with a strong cup of coffee or tea, you’re not alone. Americans ingest the caffeine equivalent of 530 million cups of coffee every day. Caffeine is the world’s most popular mood-altering drug. It’s also one of the oldest: according to archaeologists, man has been brewing beverages from caffeine-based plants since the Stone Age.

HOW CAFFEINE PICKS YOU UP

Caffeine doesn’t keep you awake by supplying extra energy; rather it fools your body into thinking it isn’t tired.

JAVA JUNKIES

After a while, your brain figures out what’s going on, and increases the number of receptor cells so it has enough for both caffeine and adenosine.

CAFFEINE’S EFFECTS

Good: Caffeine has been scientifically proven to temporarily increase alertness, comprehension, memory, reflexes, and even the rate of learning.

Bad: Too much caffeine can cause hand tremors, loss of coordination or appetite, insomnia, and in extreme cases, trembling, nausea, heart palpitations, and diarrhea.

20 Things you didn't know about nothing

clipper's remarks: 6 through 20 at source.

1 There is vastly more nothing than something. Roughly 74 percent of the universe is “nothing,” or what physicists call dark energy;

2 And even something is mostly nothing. Atoms overwhelmingly consist of empty space. Matter’s solidity is an illusion caused by the electric fields created by subatomic particles.

3 There is more and more nothing every second. In 1998 astronomers measuring the expansion of the universe determined that dark energy is pushing apart the universe at an ever-accelerating speed. The discovery of nothing—and its ability to influence the fate of the cosmos—is considered the most important astronomical finding of the past decade.

4 But even nothing has a weight. The energy in dark matter is equivalent to a tiny mass; there is about one pound of dark energy in a cube of empty space 250,000 miles on each side.

5 In space, no one can hear you scream: Sound, a mechanical wave, cannot travel through a vacuum. Without matter to vibrate through, there is only silence.

clipper's remarks: Sometimes your friends aren't really the friends you thought they were.

Whenever you drink way to much it's inevitable you're are going to pass out somewhere you will probably regret in the morning. These people experienced firsthand why you should pass out in private and no where near you're friends or people you think are your friends.
