@Catseye3 why is he wearing a Mercedes ball cap?
Because his day-job is winning F1 races, and even he's going to struggle to do that in a Ferrari.

Why do football players wear rubber bands around their biceps?
These items are called bicep bands. They are made of a variety of materials: some are nylon, some are cotton, some are synthetic blends, etc.
Bicep bands are used to catch and absorb sweat on the arms. They prevent the sweat on the shoulders and upper arms from sliding down to the forearm and hands. It's no different than how a head band prevents sweat from dripping down the forehead and getting into the eyes. There is some debate about how well they work, but that's what they are designed for.

Estimated -- I guess that depends if you go for the cigarette lighter option.I rented an Infiniti Q50 last week. It actually had an ashtray and a cigarette lighter. Haven't seen those in years. Surprising for a rental car.
I was thoroughly unimpressed. My Murano, a year older, has much better features and bells and whistles.

Yeah, but go back a few million years ago and those bumps on the east would have made the current Rockies look like crap...

It is changing
our Sun converts 600 million tons of hydrogen into 596 million tons of helium every second.
When the temperature in the core reaches about 100 million degrees, the helium will begin to fuse into carbon by a reaction known as the triple-alpha process, because it converts three helium nuclei into one carbon atom. This generates a great deal of heat.
