    Sorry Ann, but my Organic Chemistry is a little rusty as I heard
    these back in '68.  Here is a list of some common bases:

    re .13
    
    Yeah, but you are OBVIOUSLY missing the PRIME BASIS for this
    discussion, like 3, 5 and 11.                
                               
    Is your chemistry any good?
230.15Is there a maths trivia conference? :-)NOGOV::GOODENOUGHJeff Goodenough, IPG Reading-UKWed Aug 27 1986 07:354
    A base can be any integer greater than zero and less than infinity.
    That should give you plenty of scope.

Wnen I was in high school my chem teacher gave me an article from the
Journal of the American Chemical Society about hydrophobic acid.  The
author had purportedly isolated it from pancake syrup after it dissolved
his back teeth forming a six molar solution.
