No, it's not odd. You should know, it's basic knowledge (or a simple math problem).

Exactly.... Now if you could then convert that into picometers or Megameters, then I might be a little woried

Tera, Giga, Mega, Kilo, Hecta, Deka, Singular, deci, cenit, mili, mirco, nano, pico.
One you get past Kilo or mili on either side you add three 000 instead of one 0

I could've done that last year, when I was taking a class on genetics and cell mutation. Now, not so much. I've wiped it all from my brain, because I will never need it again.

Ewwwwww. Genetics and cell mutation. They make my head hurt. I am, however, looking forward to my Physical Anthro class--- the prof is an infectuous disease specialist. It's going to just be brilliant.

That has nothing to do with genetics.... just sizes

Genetics is a cool subject change, though...

I know it has nothing to do with genetics. But you need to understand sizes in order to understand the components of DNA or what DNA manufactures. I use the term 'need' loosely, because you don't, really. Our professor was under the impression that we did. He was also under the impression that we paid attention to what he was saying.

All teachers are like that, Aindel... probably even our resident Fox...

Excuse me. I teach a college level science.... I guarantee that 3/4 of class don't give a shit about what I am saying. The 1/4 need it for college, so they do. Either way I always make it interesting..... No one sleeps in my class, and not because I wouldn't let them. I told them that the first day, "go ahead and sleep if you want to. I wont wake up." No one has yet in two years

Yeah, this is a university-level science designed specifically for non-majors who need a Nat Sci for their Gen. Ed. requirements. So mostly Arts or Fine Arts students, who don't give a shit. Plus, most of what we learned was a (sometimes in-depth) repeat of Grade 11 Bio. Plus, the professor was severely Italian, the lecture hall echoed like mad, and he used a mic. Go ahead and tell me that's not the best way to make students -not- pay attention.

As long as I bring a good book I'll go to a lecture... but then again... I've only ever had really crappy teachers... perhaps there are better ones out there... somewhere...
