Coastal, it's been great fun, you will be missed but you couldn't have picked a better replacement!!

No I didn't know that about the air!! Interesting!

[Cunucu Beach]

Thanks for doing both threads, Coastal. I've been wondering how you manage both.

A big welcome to Sweetie Pie!!!!

I never thought about the worldwide dispersion of atmospheric molecules before but it makes sense. We just keep recycling the same molecules over and over again.

And do you realize that with every slice of bread you eat, some of those molecules went through a cow's digestive system first???

It's been great having you do the thread~Coastal!

Thank you & thanks to Sweetie for taking this over!

For some reason I always thought the air was Divinely recycled to be clean. Like....washed out by rain or something. I feel I need a breath mint now.

[Ketabcha]

That's interesting and somewhat disturbing.

Coastal, see you over in the Impossible Question threads. Thanks for working so hard for us for so long.

Hiya, Sweetie Pie. Congrats!

Prove it!!

Luckily for me, and for all of you, Sweetie Pie would like to take over the thread!!!! You know she's quick witted and sassier than a rattlesnake, so hang on to your seats because ya'll are in for a ride with our Miss SP at the reins!!! Thanks again for following the thread. I hope you'll tag right along with SP!!

Thanks Coastal & everyone for the warm welcomes. I hope I can carry on this thread with as much fun and thought provoking factoids as our esteemed Butta Babe has.

as Coastal said, Imma gonna search the bowels of my mighty Mac Daddy's search engine and present to y'all whatever interesting tid-bit I might find. If you disagree with the info, that's cool. I'm not a master debater, so you'll get no argument from me. Life's short, let's just have fun. K?

Yaaaay, Sweetie Pie for taking over the reins! Thank you, Coastal, for doing such a great job with this thread.

Very interesting little factoid, I didn't know it.
