Who here can tell me the origin of stat, The favorite word for all medical emergency teams everywhere. I need a crash table, STAT!

Well, as far as I can figure, it is the abbreviated form of the latin word statim which means"immediately". Sounds like a logical answer to me.

Fluoride was created by Satin.

Like satin sheets? Or Satan?

CC, a unit of measurement in hospitals, stands for cubic centimeter. A cubic centimeter is another term for milliliter. So 50 CC's of Morphine is 50 milliliters of Morphine.

I am really lacking on my spelling as of late, but it's Satan, thanks for correcting me.

Yeah, well, it was the Red Communists who wanted to put fluoride in our water. See the film Dr. Strangelove and see I'm right.

The last two incarnations of Transformers (the Michael Bay movies and the Animated series) have had sets of Autobot twins, but they are only canonically established as twins in their own series time line. Outside of it they most certainly are not.

:'D though I do like Jetfire and Jetstorm.

As I found out really recently, Twitards (these are worse than narutards) can get really violent. There was an incident in collage where a science teacher told a Twitard to put her twilight book away, so she through acidic chemicals in his face and said he hated Twilight, Uhm.... Now I'm scared of them.

@ sound: well, I wasn't saying all of them were bad, It's just that I'm now afraid to voice my own opinion on the series do to those nut cases.

Not all Twilight fans are bad, just the insane ones that think Edward Cullens will marry them, and then get violent about it.

Contrary to popular belief, the Great Wall of China is not the only man made object on earth that is visible from space; in fact, the Great Wall is barely discernable, and only under perfect conditions. Low earth orbit(160-350 miles up) is the altitude that the space shuttle orbits at. At this "low" level of orbit, many man made objects are viewable to the naked eye, including airports, bridges, dams, and highways. The Wall is only 30 feet wide, and is of a similar color to its surroundings. The myth that "the Great Wall is the only man-made object visible from the moon" started in 1938 when the book "Second Book of Marvels, the Orient" was published, stating that "Astronomers say that the Great Wall is the only man-made thing on our planet visible to the human eye from the moon." Something that is almost invisible at 180 miles certainly isn't visible at 237,000 miles.

At whatever workplace you have avoid toxic worker personalities like, the gossip. Because if you exchange gossip with them, next thing you know they'll be talking about you. So avoid the gossip if you want to not ruin your career.
