Education & Reference - 17 March 2007

I'm just curious 'coz I see lots of people use k as a thousand symbol/sign..like for example, 1k=1000... so why do you think "k" is used instead of other letters?..also, if you know, who and when was it discovered or first used?..

please help me with this 'coz I'm planning of submitting this to my math teacher...thanks...

Funny Bunny
Here is a bunny
With ears so funny
And here is a hole in the ground
At the first sound she hears
She pricks up her ears
And pops right into the ground.

I have two little brothers and a daughter. I think it is a bad idea for 18 year olds to go to college for a few reasons. I think colleges try to make their students think a certain way. I also think that 18 year olds will not focus on school like they should. Am I weird?
