In a college classroom, roughly 10 percent of the term papers will be handed in late. Increasing the penalty for a late paper has no effect on this statistic unless more than one term paper is required.

LOADING A MUZZLE LOADER
Back in the days when every firearm was made by hand and every firearm was a muzzle-loader, the starting powder charge for a new firearm was determined thusly: Place the proper sized bullet in your palm and pour just enough powder over it to cover it completely. That amount of powder twill be a safe starting charge that can be adjusted for accuracy. Works today with modern muzzle-loaders too!
