Hi I am a PhD chemist. Don't let that fool you. I still make stupid mistakes. Why? because I am human. At Yahoo, I hope to help others benefit from my experience. I promise will do the best I can, but if I see a page of HW questions, where the asker apparently is not interested in learning anything, then the asker can expect a blunt comment.

  • What was the Sci Fi TV series name?

    The ships pilot (I think) was human, there was a girl with blue hair. I think the spaceship was living but am not sure. In one episode, being pursued by numerous robots, they went to the centre of the universe, where the combined mass of the robots reached a critical mass and caused a black hole to form, through which the spaceship escaped. In another episode, the human brain was described as 'thinking meat'.

    The show aired in the UK about10 - 15 years ago, around 1995.

    Imaginative stuff but what was the series name?

    It was not Farscape for sure.

  • Is there a correlation between:?

    The likelihood an asker will award 'best answer', and whether or not, they have an avatar picture.

    I answer a lot of Ya! questions, but very few askers bother to repay the favor by voting for best answer.

    I wonder if those who choose an avatar picture are more likely to participate fairly by awarding 'Best Answer'.

  • Conversion of di sodium EDTA into the magnesium salt?

    I have a kilogram of Na2 EDTA, but to make my buffer, I need the magnesium salt.

    I have been unable to buy the Mg salt, So can anyone advise how I might quantitatively replace the sodium ions in a small sample (around 2g).

    I thought about stirring in some MgCl2 or MgSO4, but separating the two salts is then problematic.

  • In my inbox, what does the purple Y! icon on some of my Yahoo - best answers mean?

    Some of the mails from Yahoo just say "congrats, your answer has been ..." etc

    Others say the same thing, but in the information column, there is the small purple Y! icon. Why do some mails have this and others not?

  • I had water in my laptop display after being caught in a monsoon downpour.?

    Unfortunately, no satisfactory answers found on the internet.
