Do you mean 5 out of 10 people? Saying 10 out of 5 would be saying like 10/5 instead of 5/10. Not to be rude, just informative.  ;)



Argyria
A large family simply known as the "blue people" lived in the hills around Troublesome Creek in Kentucky until the 1960s. They were the blue Fugates. Most of them lived past the age of 80, with no serious illness - just blue skin. The trait was passed on from generation to generation. People with this condition have blue, plum, indigo or almost purple skin.

Got it from my cousin's website: http://www.leilaniroxmysoxx.webs.com/

point proven :D

actually, "10" in binary is "2" on normal numbers. binary is a computer language that all computers understand. it only uses two digits, 0 and 1. im sure bluemonk can explain better than i can, i just learned it today.

Although a Mandelbrot fractal appears infinitely complex, the code to generate it is surprisingly simple, about 10-20 lines of code.

To be fair, changing bases in the middle of a ratio is not usually acceptable without specifying the base for each number.

The oldest living house cat on record lived to be twenty-eight years old. And yes, that is in human years.

The sad thing is the image is actually believable, except for the smoke.

"He is bigger than her" is grammatically incorrect. the correct way is "He is bigger than she (is)"

I learned it in school recently. Now it makes sense to me. I was one of those 11 out of 101 people who didn't understand binary.

The early Church declared that alcohol was an inherently good gift of God to be used and enjoyed. While individuals might choose not to drink, to despise alcohol was heresy.
