Does anyone know the length of the RNA chain (in terms of number of bases) in bacterial DNA?

I want to do a calculation of how many tries it would take a theoretical monkey to stick them together to achieve a viable chain.

i hear they have 24hr power cuts every other day so they might as well be the lowest electricity consumers

Let's say the we live in a universe where faster than light speed is possible ala Star Trek/Star Wars... If a ship such as the Enterprise/Millenium Falcon suddenly hit warp speed from a stationary position would not the ship simply "blink out" instead of the cinematic dramatic "explosion" into hyperspace? By that I mean the ship would depart leaving only an afterimage of itself for a few milliseconds because of light reflection? No big flash of light, just "blink" GONE!

Some times we dream certain things when we are asleep. After we wake up we forget what we had dreamt. Why is it so?

This is unfair. Pluto is the farthest planet. So, now, you mean, Saturn will be the last and the farthest? What if one of these years, the scientists discovered that there's life in Pluto, will they still not recognize it as one of the planets?

I couldn't believe it. I woke up and the air conditioner was off in my bedroom. I didn't even think about the electricity being off because I could here my son's television blasting cartoons. I got up to turn the lights on in my room so I could see the controls on the A/C in my window no power. So i figured it was the circiut breaker. Nothing was wrong there. So I went outside to check the meter and sure enough heres the problem. I forgot to pay the bill and the power had been disconnected. I called the power company to pay my bill by debit card. Needless to say I just had to ask why I still had power in some parts of my apartment. The guy laughed at me and told me it was no way possible. Everytime I tell somebody about this. they don't understand how I had power either. Most don't even believe me. Somebody tell me. How did I still have partial electricity?
