In my opinion...

Let's all just slow down. I'm still working out the ducks and horses thing.

Not sure were it started (Monty Python, perhaps), but it has evolved into a popular internet meme. It is often thrown out there when a thread has devolved to this level of absurdity (CJ).

Don't forget bacon- and Nazis.

May I cite Godwin's Law now?

Oh. And I was just digging out my slide rule.

Not yet.

Only if he ran through the streets naked....shouting eureka!

Permanent magnets or electromagnets?

How do those little thingies (?) work that get lined up to make a magnet? (running an electrical charge through it does not count as an answer, do it through copper, you get an electromagnet and do it with ferrous material, you get a permanent magnet) And what are they?
Why does the right hand rule work? Why do the electrons not go left instead of right?
I can recite formulas having to do with magnets and electricity, but I do not understand why they work.
I would like an explanation that does not include circular logic (magnets --> electricity --> magnets --> electricity).

Now we just need an English major to point out differences between your and you're and we'll have ourselves a 5 star thread.

I am not an English Major, but "your" is possessive (it belongs to you) and "you're" is a contraction of "you are".

Please explain, I went to the members list and found 30 listed on a page and 16332 pages. About 489960 members was close enough to 1/2 million. Do you come up with a different number?

There are 16332 registered user names.

You're very careless with reading or math, or something....

Just in case anyone wants to know where to find the current Beesource member count, its on the page linked here:

Scroll to the very bottom of the page. The count as of this post is 16,362. So now there are an additional 30 potential members for the ABsC! *

*AcebirdBsClub - No membership forms, no dues, and the meetings are all ad hoc. Members need only keep Acebird on his toes, so to speak. Don't be shy! Oh, and Ace really likes animated icons ....

This is my favorite reference for solving that problem and many others: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/misspelling

Sometimes humor makes you remember better than going to a dry grammar reference site.

"explain to me how magnets/electricity work"

Ok, ready for this? They work real well.

Let's see. The July sun in Baytown is kind of hot. Then there are the refineries. Are you sure that it is not your brain that is fried?
