I don't believe oil came from dead dinosaurs. I think it came from the decaying of dead vegetation. If so, why can't we produce it in the laboratory? Then we could have big factories spewing out the stuff. Energy crisis GONE: Trade deficit GONE: Overpopulation GONE (By not teaching the Chinese and Indians how to drive their new cars, and just turn them loose: That's how!).

in the question..How do conductors differ from insulators? some said electrons move , thats not quite right I think its the spaces(holes) that move where the electron was, the current flow will be in reverse of course ...disagree ?

Can anyone please tell me, is benzoic acid present in human urine. I know that it appears as part of the structure of hippuric acid in mammals such as horses and was wondering if it is also in human urine as we produce a small bit of hippuric acid daily.

Many thanks in advance for your comments.

Let f(x) be a function defined on the positive integers such that:

f(x) = x/2 if x is even
f(x) = (3*x+1)/2 if x is odd

Then the conjecture is: iterates of f(x) will eventually reach 1 for any initial value of x.

I'm looking to get a tattoo of the a symbol with half the moon and half the sun together with one face on the two halves. I don't know if there's a name but I've seen them many times. I'm looking for something different and original but will be happy with just a basic idea for someone to draw one off of if need be. Thanks so much for your help in advance!!!!!!!!!!
