    Sorry, but orbital velocity is only five miles per second (Tsiolkovsky’s First Cosmic Velocity). 7 mi/sec is the Second Cosmic Velocity and that speed could get you infinitely far from Earth.

    7 × 60 × 60 = 25200 mph orbit of the space shuddle was about 17500 mph. Large discrepancy?

    I don’t think that Minnow is a species but, rather a stage in the development of all fish species! If I am right, then i doubt that all species have teeth in their throats! I am anxious for all the experts to reply!

    Minnows are small freshwater fish of the family Cyprinidae. They are also known in Ireland as pinkeens.

    The black undies thing for the umps makes sense. I don’t know why it makes sense. But it just makes sense.

    Is the ump thinking “Shhhh” because he doesn’t want people to know about his underwear, or because he’s on the verge of swearing?

    Does the head ump have to check and make sure the others are in proper uniform?
