Slow pitch softball . . . strike ten.

Any reason it’s not expressed as 214 Pa s? Because that notation is intended to express "two times ten to the seventh power," or 20,000,000.

It does. Buildings several hundred years old with the original glass have windows that are thicker at the bottom than the top.

Some panes are. Some are thicker on the sides and some are thicker on the top.
It is do to the construction methods of the glass hundreds of years ago, not glass flowing.

If a pitch drops in the lab and there is nobody there to see it, did it really drop?..............

Well, in a baseball game a ‘dropped pitch’ would be exciting......bases loaded, two outs in the bottom of the ninth, three balls and two strikes...............

I used to work in calibration labs for a military contractors and one of the things I had to check was the accuracy of the ‘viscosity cups’ that are used to verify the viscosity of paints used on aircraft. Very boring, but essential...........
