Q2 - OH, GEE!

B - The term octane number, used to assess automotive gasoline, derives from the word "octane", in which the root "octo" refers originally to

1 - 8 miles per gallon
2 - 8 carbon atoms in a molecule
3 - 8 cylinders in an engine
4 - 8 horsepower per cylinder.

G - Pre-Columbian recipes may include only bread, garlic and oil, but most current recipes for the cold summer Spanish soup Gazpacho are dominated by this ingredient.

Does the "Oh Gee" in the thread subject refer to the recent visits by Mr. Ogas?

I can only fool some of the people some of the time....

In the series of alkanes...

methane ethane propane butane...

then pentane hexane heptane octane.


C8 - H 18.

And then, tomato. Good stuff. Glowing or otherwise. Sorta tomato pulp fiction.

I was thinking octane and gazpacho. But maybe I was inspired by the recent visit.

I make a very good gazpacho.

Too bad I seem to be the only one who could eat it for days on end and not complain.

I also never knew there was ever bread involved.
