an irrational number, huh? somehow, that figures...I guess I'm in the right place after all...

thank you all for your replies; I'll avoid LOL until there's some consensus, or unless I can make the context clear...

and I better double check any numbers, I wouldn't want to be too many OOMs (or is that OsOM?) out either way!

thanks, planetwatcher; I thought the little guy bottom right was Kenny from South Park - eager to please, but self-destructive...

Well, I've got labs this morning...so I'll catch you later.

thanks again.
