AliceTheOwl Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Re: The Last Word Seriously. As it is, I'm already grumbling at my sisters', and it's only across a state line. (That it's in another time zone doesn't bother me as much as having to cross the mountains to get there. I HATE driving on 40%-grade highway.)

AliceTheOwl Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Re: The Last Word Oh, it is. Especially when you have those shipping trucks. Have you ever seen the kind that has two trailers strung together? They swerve sort of randomly. I get visions of getting pushed off the side of the mountain when they do that. There's a dang good reason they have "runaway truck" stops. It's basically a slight right off the highway into a hill of soft sand. If you make it far enough, the spikes at the top pop your tires so you can't keep going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the planet Saturn, there are many rings. I believe they are named something like K L M etc. my question: what is the maximum number of rings/orbits that a nucleus has? and is there any with 7 or 9?

lemming Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Re: The Last Word I knew right off the bat what L. Marcus meant about Holy Diver. Though odd selection for a wedding, IMO. Though much better than "Welcome to the Jungle", by GnR And I think Dio had other hits, but checking his greatest hits listing, I just recognized "Rainbow in the Dark". I was probably thinking of some of his Black Sabbath & Rainbow bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of rows is the number of "shells", each row being a "shell". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was probably thinking of some of his Black Sabbath & Rainbow bits. It's not that odd. Back in the early Eighties, youth in provincial Sweden either listened to Metal or Synth. And up here, there were thirteen metalheads to a dozen. We spent an hour at my brother's wedding, trying to remember the lyrics of Metallica's Fade To Black.

Cancer Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Re: The Last Word There is seven rows, so there must be seven shells. Interesting. Seven. Actually, in principle there could be more, but there are no stable nuclei with atomic numbers high enough to show more than 7 shells. So the number 7 is an "accident" resulting from nuclear physics, not atomic structure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
