Sorry to interject some facts into this newsgroup...

But, this amendment was originally proposed by James Madison as one of the
*12* Amendments in the original Bill of Rights, in the late 1700's, along
with the right to use nuclear-tipped shotgun shells for deer-hunting.

Really, there were originally 12; I saw the document at the National Archives
in Washington, D.C. about 2 weeks ago.  Ten of the 12 were adopted to form
our current Bill of Rights.  Of course, I can't remember the last amendment.
Any help out there?

ObUL: They wanted 13 amendments in the Bill of Rights, but figured it would be 
too unlucky.

Fowlers Modern [1] English Usage states:

	"... _Carousel_ (with the stress on the last syllable),
sometimes spelt _carrousel_, means a tournament; in U.S. it is used for
what we call a merry-go-round. It comes from the Italian _corosello_,
which, according to Skeat, is a corrupt form of _garosello_ = rather
quarrelsome. `No doubt', he adds, `_garosello_ was turned into
_corosello_ by confusion with coricello, a little chariot or car ...
owing to the use of chariots at such festivities.'"

So, now you know. Mind you, the Skeat bit sounds a bit ULish to me.

My understanding is that debts cannot be paid in pennies if they exceed
10 cents. So that all the ULs you hear about thousands a pennies

Don't know about this one, but the ATM coup someone allegedly made in
Italy was pretty good =). Pick an ATM that's sunk into the wall
and insert a false cover over it. They made it realistic - keyboard,
motorized car slot, and a computer that first read the code number,
then announced that the card is damaged, please contact your bank.
The next night the false ATM would be moved and the cards and
corresponding PINs utilized to the fullest.. 

Such a simple, elegant solution, is it not?

My 9th grade business teacher told us the following:

   If you offer to pay a debt with a check and they refuse it,
  you still have to pay them because a check isn't money.

   If you offer to pay a debt with cash, and they refuse it,
  then you don't have to pay them.  They are obligated to take
  legal tender if it is presented.

Seems somewhat reasonable, assuming that you are not forcing
them to make change or count pennies.  I can not see why anyone
would prefer a check over cash.  Checks bounce all to often.

My teacher was not very honest.  He also got tons of free tapes
through record clubs, knowing that they wouldn't really send
a federal marshall after him for $11.95.  And he told this to
high school freshman!!  Got his degree at the Micheal Milken
school of business.

Cool air is heavier than warm air if the moisture content is equal.
Thus, at night, as the air cools and if there is little wind,
the cool air tends to drain into low-lying places (like valleys). 
If the air in those low-lying places cools to the dewpoint (the
temperature at which the air is saturated for the amount of water that it
contains) then moisture condenses and fog is formed.  Voila!

(Sigh) Ever watch the weather on TV, Bill?  Ever wonder why they 
report relative humidities even when it's below freezing?  Ever
wonder why they report dewpoints below freezing?  Same reason.
Air can hold evaporated moisture at any temperature, but the warmer
the air is, the more it can hold.

Basically correct.

>You are right that cool air, with the same relative humidity as the warm

Uh-uh, wrong, as noted above.  Cool air *with the same amount of moisture*
as warm air is more dense.  In this case, however, the cool air has a
higher relative humidity than the warm air since the moisture it contains
represents a higher percentage of the moisture required to saturate the air
at that temperature.  Note that as air cools, in the absence of any other
input to the system, the amount of moisture it contains will remain constant
(and hence the relative humidity will go up) until the dewpoint is reached.
