The mount of heat required to raise 1 gram of water 1 degree C at standard atmospheric pressure, (29.92 inches at sea level at 59 degrees F). In food, it's the amount of energy producing potential that the food could release being oxidized by the body. Quote

But look from Vermont eastwardly and try to see Mt Everest, the tallest thing in the world with a telescope... It's impossible because the earth curves...

The woman approached the bison to take a picture and got within 10 feet of it multiple times before it gored her on June 25, according to the release. Quote

It's always interesting to watch people then attempt to relate this to inanimate objects, for example, the car's radiator. Quote

How long would it take us? Half a day? 1 Quote

But a strong telescope EASILY has the power to reach that distance There are about 10 million similar sorts of observations that render a flat-earth theory wrong in under 20 seconds. Doesn't stop lots of folks, particularly in the gold old USA, from believing in it, though. You gotta love that. Never, ever underestimate the stupidity of the average American. 1 1 Quote
