ABOUT ME

Citizens of Earth! I am Douglas Myers, and you've never met anyone like me. Now I understand that there are like, five people in China with similar qualities, but the thing they're missing is the Baltimoreness that defines my actions. I am pretty G D awesome, and there's a *80% chance you'll enjoy my antics.

What are you looking for in a couchsurfing friend? Someone who is smart? I can spell Antidisestablishmentarianism without checking the thesaurus. Someone who is athletic? I was NHL player of the year three times in the 90's. A popular guy? I hang out with Clooney every Thursday. Sexy? You god damn right I am.

As you can tell from my references, I check out, Jack! But don't think I have a big head or anything. With great power comes great responsibility, and my job is to use my unique skill set to save the city of Baltimore from lameness, squares, and those devoid of Funk. Come join me in my eternal battle to have a good time, all the time, Vic Savage style.

*80% is an arbitrary figure, made up while this description was written. Actual figure ranges between 89 and 95, depending on your love of innocuous Baltimore trivia.

PHILOSOPHY

If life is a highway, I'm the dude who just cut you off and gave you the finger. Watch my dust suckas.

What helium is used for

*Airships

As helium is lighter than air it can be used to inflate airships, blimps and balloons, providing lift. Although hydrogen is cheaper and more buoyant, helium is preferred as it is non-flammable and therefore safer.

*MRI scanners

Helium's low boiling point makes it useful for cooling metals needed for superconductivity, from cooling the superconducting magnets in medical MRI scanners to maintaining the low temperature of the Large Hadron Collider at Cern.

*Deep-sea diving

Divers and others working under pressure use mixtures of helium, oxygen and nitrogen to breathe underwater, avoiding the problems caused by breathing ordinary air under high pressure, which include disorientation.

*Rockets

As well as being used to clean out rocket engines, helium is used to pressurise the interior of liquid fuel rockets, condense hydrogen and oxygen to make rocket fuel, and force fuel into the engines during rocket launches.

*Dating

Helium can be used to estimate the age of rocks and minerals containing uranium and thorium by measuring their retention of helium.

*Telescopes

The gas is used in solar telescopes to prevent the heating of the air, which reduces the distorting effects of temperature variations in the space between lenses.
