O-kee-do-keeI'm grateful for REALLY SMART people, people whose brains are full of stuff that I'm not even smart enough to comprehend. It takes a lot of pressure off of the rest of us.
"One way to study dark matter is to measure baryon acoustic oscillations. When the universe was still in its infancy it cooled sufficiently for baryons to separate from photons." Huh?!? That quote was from an article in the Smithsonian about the biggest mystery in the universe. It's wonderful that there are those out there pouring every particle of their being into passions so intricate that most of us have no idea how to even follow their thought processes.
Bet most of you don't know what a bodkin is...

I am enjoying this project of yours :)

I know what a bodkin is... do you know what a billiken is?
You must mean the charm doll created by an American art teacher and illustrator, Ms. Florence Pretz of St. Louis, Missouri, who was said to have seen the mysterious figure in a dream. In 1908 she patented the Billiken who was elf-like with pointed ears, a mischievous smile, and a tuft of hair on his pointed head. His arms were short and he was generally sitting with his legs stretched out in front of him.
And the mascot at Saint Louis University.
