Oops, I thought of something a few minutes after I posted this and couldn't get back to fix it. A gas is technically a fluid, as are liquids, which is what I meant to say. But I had liquid-on-the-brain and misspoke. Sorry to all those who caught it. Rest assured I have liberally applied the cluestick about my face and neck!

--I want you guys to know that I've since broken out my "Understanding Physics" book by Asimov, in addition to several of my college texts on the subject. Yes, I still have them, mostly because you only get like $5 to sell them back, and I figured they're worth more!
