TRIVIA TODAY - Monday, March 25, 2013

Greetings Infomaniacs,

I took the day off work today to spend some time with my friends and their babies. It blows my mind how much they change every time I see them. I wish they would just slow down the whole growing up process, you know? It all goes by too fast. I can only imagine how quickly it flies by for the parents!

Enjoy!
Melissa

RANDOM TIDBITS
Helium is the second lightest element and next to hydrogen, it is the second most abundant in the universe. In fact, all natural gas contains some traceable quantity of helium.

In 1965, helium use in the United States was more than eight times the peak wartime consumption.

Helium is a very light, inert, colorless gas and has the lowest melting point of any element. No matter how low the temperature, helium is the only liquid that cannot be solidified and remains a liquid to absolute zero.

Helium is often mixed with oxygen for deep sea diving to help reduce the effects of narcosis. The mixture is called cold heliox.

Helium is named for the Greek God of the Sun, Helios. It was first detected as an unknown yellow spectral line signature in sunlight during a solar eclipse in 1868 by French astronomer Jules Janssen.

Helium can be transported in small supplies in heavy steel cylinders. Larger amounts are shipped in insulated containers in liquid form.
