Exceptionally clever.

it was from a list of something like 100 best jokes, or 20 best
puns, or something, in the Independent (a British newspaper) some
years ago.
Probably lost on non-UK readers though (-:

Not if they were involved in healthcare. ;-)
I was not a healthcare provider, but had many clients who were.

It wasn't the ATP aspect I thought might not be obvious outside the
UK, it was the 80p aspect.

Though I should amend it to "some" adenosine; I suspect it's a
_long_ time since 80p would get you a pint of _anything_ from a
barman.
I took the comment as a pun.

It's actually a very clever joke - the 80 p. pun only scratched the
surface.

I realise humour is usually spoilt by explanation, but please explain
anyway: I couldn't see beyond the 80p.


I was going to wait another 24 hours or so...

To a biochemist it goes further if one looks into the role that ATP
plays in living cells:

It is often referred to as the "molecular unit of currency" of
intracellular energy transfer.

That is the clever bit that turns the pun into a fine joke ... ATP as
currency. 80 p. worth in this case.

When you posted that sig, knowing that engineers and scientists always
have their inside humour I thought it best to know more about ATP.

Wikipedia is always a good source for such.


Thanks. I knew - from my O level biology about 40 years ago! - that ATP
is basically what makes muscles work, turning it into ADP. (I may have
remembered some of this wrong.) I didn't know the "currency" nickname
for it though: that's maybe been added since then.

No, I haven't changed my mind - I'm perfectly happy with the one I have, thank
you.

Yep! Unfortunately, I learned the "humor" the hard way. But I still
appreciate it.

Just a bit of explanation. Last December my wife passed from large cell
lymphoma. Recently,m clinical trials were solicited using ATP to induce
remission of that type of lymphoma.

left to do but back up the data and then format the disk as a new disk.

I don't need two terabytes, where I never even needed one terabyte, so, I
guess I'm going to learn how to RAID these things. :)


In my experience, RAID is quite fragile. I've learned through experience
to avoid it on my personal machines.

Dig that, people, Raid criticising RAID.

*OBSERVATION that this thread topic is now long DEAD.*

In the past two decades of Usenet examples, one thing is consistent which
is that when the quote level gets to the insane level that the last twenty
posts have had, then you *know* the original technical topic was long gone.

There is a direct ratio of the longer the quoted content, the less on topic
the post.

Look above at the last 20 posts for a classic example of this phenomenon.
