Squatchee Collywobble Taradiddle Flibbertigibbet Squatchee 4 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: SQUATCHEE Answer: A squatchee is the fabric covered button on the top of a baseball hat. You're not going to find the word in Merriam-Webster, but it's in Urban Dictionary and if you go hunting for the word on the internet, it turns up plenty. The term "squatchee" originated from a popular line of books from the 1980s, called "Sniglets," by comedian Rich Hall, in which he attempted to give names to everyday objects that did not already have names. The word was popularized by baseball commentators Bob Brenly and Mike Krukow who picked it up from the book and routinely used the term on the air which then spread to the general public.

Neon Helium Nitrogen Hydrogen Nitrogen On 7/26/2020 at 1:26 PM, dgrimm60 said: NITROGEN Answer: Once a cars electrical circuit has been turned on by a sensor, a pellet of sodium azide (NaN3) is ignited. A rapid reaction occurs, generating a hot blast of nitrogen gas to inflate the airbag. The nitrogen gas fills a nylon or polyamide bag at a velocity of up to 250 miles per hour. This process, from the initial impact of the crash to full inflation of the airbags, happens in only one-twenty-fifth of a second — faster than the blink of an eye! A second later, the gas quickly dissipates through tiny holes in the bag, thus deflating the bag so you can move.

According to Guinness World Records, Greenland Ranch (now Furnace Creek) in Death Valley, California holds this crown and achieved this global high on July 10, 1913. Death Valley was reinstated as the holder of this record in 2012, after the World Meteorological Organization disqualified the long-cited 136.4°F (58°C) mark claimed by El Azizia in Libya. The air temperature of the aptly named Furnace Creek in Death Valley reaches a staggering average daily high of 115°F making Death Valley one of the hottest places on Earth.
