Correct. 1/20000 is equal to 50 millionths (0.00005). Here is why for those who can't see it:

1/2 = 0.5 = half = 500,000 millionths
1/20 = 0.05 = 5 hundredths = 50,000 millionths
1/200 = 0.005 = 5 thousandths = 5,000 millionths
1/2000 = 0.0005 = 5 ten-thousandths = 500 millionths
1/20000 = 0.00005 = 5 hundred-thousandths = 50 millionths

$2 in 1911 = $46.21 today (it is called inflation). Amazon Kindle Reader = $79 and holds a lot more than 40,000 pages (try about 7 times that amount — 1400 books x 200 pages = 280,000 pages). It weighs about 6 ounces and one can easily find whatever you are seeking on the device. Winner: The Amazon Kindle.

It has been seen for a couple of years that liver disease is spreading a lot.I think the main thing is the level of fats increases inside the body which will effect the lever. العاب اطفال

Nostalgia-CITY, baby! I remember my father subscribing to, and reading Popular Scinece and Popular Mechanics religiously. As for the books made of nickel, can you envision the poor library employee who had to empty the drop box every morning. Does nickel conduct eletricity well enough to attract lightening.? If so, a storm could make for a lousy Monday morning.

Hahahaha! I searched for some information about Edison but never expected something like this! Thank you so much for sharing – made my day! You can't tell that this man was not crazy! But yes, the idea with the steal-book is hot… Even if it will be hard to write on it.

Go on like this, this article was just too good (i had to repeat that ;) )
