I (a few posts back in this thread) used a variation of "Give me a lever and a place to stand and I will move the Earth" which has to be one of the most well known quotes EVER made yet only 1 person here (Sparky) "gets it"and others need an explaination? Archimedes said it first sometime between 280-211 BC. I am so obviously running with the wrong crowd. I may be old but wasn't around when he said it. Maybe it is the education system?
