I was living in a second story apartment in Orlando. I came home from somewhere, got up on the second story and looked out to the East. I saw the exhaust plume that went straight up and then split into 2, both sides curling out and over. I knew instantly what had happened before I ever got inside to turn on the TV.

    The term imbecile was once used by psychiatrists to denote a category of people with moderate to severe intellectual disability, as well as a type of criminal.



    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    For the common or slang use of imbecile, see Idiot.
    The term imbecile was once used by psychiatrists to denote a category of people with moderate to severe intellectual disability, as well as a type of criminal.[1][2] The word arises from the Latin word imbecillus, meaning weak, or weak-minded.[3] It originally referred to people of the second order in a former and discarded classification of intellectual disability, with a mental age of three to seven years and an IQ of 25–50, above "idiot" (IQ below 25) and below "moron" (IQ of 51–70).[4] In the obsolete medical classification (ICD-9, 1977), these people were said to have "moderate mental retardation" or "moderate mental subnormality" with IQ of 35–49, as they are usually capable of some degree of communication, guarding themselves against danger and performing simple mechanical tasks under supervision.[5][6]

You can tell if the barometer is going up or down by the puffy (or not) condition of the chip bags on the shelf at the market.

In any given batch of gasoline I can tell within about a tenth in. hg. what the barometric pressure is by the A/F on the Innovate MTX/L in my old truck, new tank of gas shifts the number relative to how much ethanol is in it.
