Chemistry and Physics

Anyone familiar with a supersaturated solution? It's one in which, by all rights, the suspension should have crystallized, and it's being held in solution by lack of a catalyst. One example can be sugar water, which will crystallize around a string to make rock candy but otherwise will stay liquid.

I think the air in Tampa is supersaturated. If someone had the right catalyst, the entire atmosphere in this town would turn into a ball of water. Geez, how do people live here?

CIA and FBI

I don't understand how the CIA can be allowed to have agents working for the FBI on a longterm basis. The CIA is foreign intell, and FBI is domestic. The CIA is not supposed to be allowed to operate in the US. Is that a law or just Atty General rule, though?

OK, I was inspired by darkmoon's post about this special period in the online evolution.
