For those who don't recognize the name, Asimov was a renowned sci-fi Author and writer in general. He is the guy who devised The Laws of Robotics
I won't argue over the size of Isaac Asimov's intellect, but I can attest to his studious research and meticulous recording of the facts. So, I decided I'd put in a lil' daily installment of some of these facts that Asimov discovered and confirmed. I'll try to stay consistant and provide at least 1 fact per day. Hopefully, folks will find the trivia entertaining. If anyone else wishes to post an interesting fact, do so--just make sure it is confirmed as being fact. As for my posts, they're being taken from, where else, Isaac Asimov's Book of Facts ©1979-97(there are over 3k facts in this thing).
Energy--The Earth recieves only one-half of one-billionth of the sun's radiant energy. But in just a few days it gets as much heat and light as could be produced by burning all the oil, coal, and wood on the planet.
Cold Facts--The temperature can become so cold in eastern Siberia that the moisture in a person's breath can freeze in the air and fall to the earth with soft crackling or whispering sounds.
Numbers and Statistics--If the population of the Earth were to continue to increase at the present rate indefinately, by 3530 A.D., the total mass of human flesh and blood would equal the mass of the Earth. By 6826 A.D., the total mass of human flash and blood would equal the mass of the known universe.
Our Body--If 80% of our liver were to be removed, the remaining part would continue to function, and within a few months the liver would have reconstituted itself to its original size.
I just wonder if they'll let me bring in my laptop and webcam! 
I wonder if their department is right next door to the Berkeley SETI@home department...
