Sorry but its the hydrogen generator again.

LOL. Actually, I used to make baloons out of NaOH and aluminum cans, and I really do want to make a balloon that I could fly in. My wife wouldn't be very happy about it I think, and we have a lot of static discharge down here in Arizona, so it would probably (P(x) > 0.50) mean my death, but if I didn't have kids/wife I'd definitely try it.

Re: your footnote:

News item: "Human Body Contains 2.5 lbs of Bacteria". SWEET. EVERYBODY GETS TO DEDUCT 2.5 POUNDS. Bacteria is alive. That's not our weight, that's theirs. WOOT.

...but for elected poly-tickers isn't number more like 7-8 lbs? You've obviously not included the volume/content of their cranial cavities (wink,wink)!

LOLOLOL. Hey! You are in Tucson? I'm in Maricopa. Hotter than the fires of heck and darn-nation today. This is our first year here. Each day is a new highest ever temperature I've ever experienced in my life. My eyelids were actually on fire in the shade outside today while I was spraying the poor chickens. They just stood there and didn't mind a bit, then hogged down the left overs of a watermelon.

Yep, Tucson, AZ, now, but it before that it was Yuma, AZ!

Weather in Arid-zona isn't stated in degrees, but rather descrubed like steaks:

• raw (cold) ~ 60-70°F
• rare (nice & cool) ~ 70-80°F
• medium (normal...for a desert) ~ 80-90°F
• well done (burnt on the outside, pink inside) ~ 90-100°F
• very well done (all burnt, no pink) >105°F
