A study by Princeton and Northwestern universities shows that a small group of elite have control over the general population and the government only supports the rich and powerful while the masses have no say whatsoever. The 42 page report concludes "we believe that if policymaking is dominated by powerful business organizations and a small number of affluent Americans, then America's claims to being a democratic society are seriously threatened."

    This just in, water is wet.

    (an entry in the "a need-of-precision compulsive fit" folder) not exactly: in ice, water vapours and supercritical fluid states, water is not wet - given the temperature range [wikipedia.org] in which water still exists, the 100K part of it in which the water is wet is actually a small percentage, so you are mostly wrong.

    Thanks Capt. Obvious.

    You seem adjusted well with the idea, aren't you?

    Thank you Captain Pedant! Not to burst your bubble, but most people think of H2O having three, standard states --which I'd think 99% of the population might say, too.
