I bet Apollo 13’s trek felt like 6 months to everybody involved

So how many atoms in the average newborn’s body are there?

They are concrete trucks not cement trucks. Cement is a powder that acts like glue to bind the aggregate and sand to form concrete.

Kudos today. Interesting stuff – for me, especially the Space Needle foundation. I’d like to have been nearby in a lawn chair watching that with an iced tea.

There is no way anyone counted that many cells. Now they’re just making stuff up. (For the record, I don’t believe it.)

Take care, may renowned atom counter Professor Geoff “Yes, That Makes Eleven Earl But Could You PLEASE Stop Counting Out Loud” Noodlebrainord be with you, and gesundheit.

Okay,who counted all those atoms?

And is their eyesight looking a little blurry by now?

my body has 8 octillion atoms…counted them myself

@WCraft: Leave the those comments on the Political forum.

Steve kicked this off with a golf joke, so I’ll fall in line.

A guy was playing golf one day and he got lost. He saw a lady up ahead of him and went to her and said, “Can you please help me, I don’t know what Hole I’m on.”

She told him “You are one hole behind me. I’m on 7; you’re on 6.”

He thanked her and continued playing golf. Later, he got lost again.

He saw the same lady and went to her again kind of embarrassed. “I’m sorry to bother you again but I’m lost; can you please tell me what hole I’m on.”

She told him, “You are one hole behind me. I’m on 14; you are on 13.”

Again, he thanked her and continued playing golf. When he finished he saw her in the clubhouse.

He went up to her and asked if he could buy her a drink for helping him out. She accepted.

As they were drinking and talking, he asked her what she did for a living.

“I’m in sales,” she said.

He replied, “No kidding; so am I.”

“What do you sell?”

She responded that it was too embarrassing to tell; but after he kept pleading to know what she sold, she finally said that she would tell him if he promised not to laugh.

He promised.

She said, “I sell sanitary napkins.”

He immediately fell to the floor laughing hysterically.

She said, “You promised you wouldn’t laugh”.

He replied (still with tears in his eyes), “I’m sorry. I’m not laughing at you but I couldn’t help it. I sell toilet paper….. I’m still one Hole behind you.”

Until next time.

That’s more atoms than there are grains of sand on the beach, or planets in the universe. Until someone proves otherwise

Those cement trucks look like they’re huge watermelons…

Why in pounds? Just to make it sound like a lot of cement?Shoot, forget tons. Let’s have it in ounces!

An alien vessel could reach the moon in 5 minutes at loafing speed.

Cement trucks bring cement to be mixed into concrete. Those illustrated are concrete trucks

11,200,000 pounds? Why do Americans quote such large quantities in pounds and not tons? I’m surprised that they didn’t also quote the volume in Olympic-size swimming pools too.

I thought Pluto was “erased” from being important.

“Concrete” not Cement Trucks
