Very interesting! Suddenly makes it all clear. See, I was right to use the term "sucks" after all.

Exactly!!
Glad you extracted so much from the read, and others enjoyed it.

Great stuff. Its good to pay homage once in a while. I've got a great respect for that man. He published his first ground-breaking mathematical treatise in conic sections when he was 16 years old. Religious fanatic who really understood human nature, and dead by 39. My personal favorite philosopher of western society.

Still relevant today. Can't help but think of him when someone asks how pumps function!!

Mike
