Science & Mathematics - 7 October 2006

I have been working on the Kentucky Division of Forestry (Forestry Firefighter) for 3 years. They are always talking about how a fire gets started and they all say that a fire needs 3 things to burn....
1Heat
2oxygen
3Fuel (stuff to burn like paper or leaves)

If you take away 1 of the 3, you put out the fire, and it dosen't matter which one.This got me wondering, if there is no oxygen in the solar system, how does the sun burn?

I owned my own home inspection business in the MidWest where there aren't any crawl spaces. I lost my business 2 years ago and moved to the Eastern Shore and joined Terminix. I weigh 340 pounds and most houses here have crawl spaces. In the state I work in, during my interview they cannot ask if there is any physical limitations for me to do my job. Despite the obvious, they hired me. I have signed literally hundreds of homes as being clean and ready to sell, but never crawled underneath one. My boss has got to know this, but has never questioned it... Who is at fault here? Can I get in trouble?

Sorry. One more question to my fellow inspectors. What is Pecky Rot and what does it look like on wood? Thanks.

I have had a problem with my girlfriend, but I have almost got her round to my way of thinking. Could someone help me - she just needs to know how many calories there are in an average ejaculation of human sperm.

I think an argument may be made either way: That a virus is a living thing and, equally, that it isn't. What do you think?

I know the concept of the color coding but this makes no sense.
I've read that R means the decimal point but what about A? Is that just a mfg letter? and what about A3D. Also how can you tell the value of a SMT cap? when there is no markings other than the color and i've only seen white and grey
