Hey, you FoCers, it's almost FRIDAY! :-) It's been a very quiet day here in the Northwest, one in which I had a chance to work on my knitting (current project is a prayer shawl) and generally be lazy. That may sound grand, but when you're self-employed, it's not necessarily a good thing! :-)

Anyway, here's our current question:

Does nanotechnology involve creating structures and devices with "building blocks" that are about the size of a human hair?

Some of you are ST:TNG fans and remember the episode about nanites. Here's what one of those is supposed to look like (assuming this is a VERY magnified version, of course):
nanite
Anyway, you said:
Fact 5
Crap 15

And our friends at the Calendar Corporation say. . .

It's nanoCRAP! "A human hair is approximately 100 micrometers whide. One of the requisites of nanotechnology is that the devices operate on an atomic or molecular level in lengths ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers -- or no bigger than one-tenth of a micrometer -- a thousand times smaller than the width of a hair. A recent nanotechnology breakthrough in storage devices would allow a CD-size magnetic disk to store 1,800 gigabytes, or the equivalent of 450 DVDs of information."

Yeah, but who can read that fine print????

Okay, onward and sideways! Here's one for those of us who have been around for a while. :-)

Leave It to Beaver was the first TV program to mention a toilet.

FACT or CRAP? You decide!

Oh boy that's way before my time. I know I must have seen more than one episode but the only one I remember (and actually only remember about 3 minutes of it) one of the boys, Beaver or his brother had done something and gotten in trouble. Mom had sent him to his room to wait til dad got home and dad came up and talked to him. After that I'm a little fuzzy, there was talk of spanking (and a belt?) and I think pretending to spank the boy cuz dad felt the talk was enough as the kid cried?

In other words, I have no clue, LOL, so I'll say fact with absolutely nothing to base that guess on.

Crap, I'm thinking Archie Bunker's "terlit" was the first, but I actually don't know. I can't imagine The Beav actually peed..

I know that they showed Wally and Beaver's bathroom on the show many times, but I doubt that they ever said the word "toilet."

I'm saying CRAP on the toilet...

Crap. They did say bathtub occasionally. I had the biggest crush on Wally. I still do on the reruns. He is the
cute guy in school that was also a gentleman.

I'm thinking Crap. I believe it was The Brady Bunch. All those kids and only one toilet. Sheesh! And Mike called himself an architect.

That is so funny ... before my time as well. But I'm going with Fact.

I'm curious to find out the answer.

In the Brady Bunch Reunion show they said they could not have a toilet in the bathroom due to censorship.

I have to say crap just because it's a question about a toilet.

Lets see Beavers and toilets together are always a good thing.

Now I seem to remember an episode where Ward was talking to the Beev and he was telling him about proper manners and he did mention that he always had to put the toilet seat down. Now I don't know if this was the first time toilets were mentioned on TV, but I know it was mentioned on the Beev.

Lets go with fact, after all who'd want to fill a toilet with crap.

I am a pretty decent Brady Bunch trivia buff, and I'll say crap. I think they just mentioned the lack of a toilet without any explanation.
