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. -- J. P. Gilliver.

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