cents is a similar corruption as dollar. Somebody knows the origin
of dollar ? It was at Joachimsthal in German cultivated East
Bohemia, where Count Schlick got the right to mint his own silver coins
(also doubles, half  quarters) 1520. They were named according to the
place Joachimsthaler from the St.Joachim valley (German = tal). The
name was reduced to thaler later, just for simplicity. And this became
dollar, dollar, taler etc.

Cent is 1/100th of a certain (main) coin. Centesimo or centime would
be appropriate, but again simplified to cent. 

And in Europe we got the Euro now, which has not a meaning at all. It
is like artificial honey. Since gold standard was abandoned, money has
just a hypothetical value.

Pfennig was a separate coin, a basic coin itself as was the old
Russian kopek or lira or heller or penny (the English word for
Pfennig). They had not adopted the metric (1/100) system then anyway.

If so, that's convenient, because it works in both currencies.

1 Euro = 100 cents

1 Dollar = 100 cents

n'est pas?

   Professor Pizka,
   Thank you for the complement, but on the BMI (body mass index) at the 
doctor's office, I'm in the middle, supposedly a healthy weight.
   Now if your calling me fat, I take that as a compliment because 
everyone else tells me that I'm to skinny and look like a stick, lol.

I know this is probably a little too much on-topic, but back to the subject 
of slide grease I've started using the Hetman slide gel. It takes a little 
longer to get on the slides since it comes out in a thin bead half the time, but I 
find that a little goes a long way anyways. Plus, it seems to have a very 
secure grip and seal all around.

Just my two Euros... 

Now, back to your regularly scheduled program...

Michael, with this size  5´8  142 lbs at age 16 are too fat. And your
spelling of the Californian Governor´s name is unique absolutely:

His name has nothing to do with vine-gar. His name is Schwarzenegger.
This is some dialect spelling from Austria  translates somewhat like
(Man) from the black corner or (Man)from the dark corner or Black
Harrow(er), also Dark (fat earth) Fields.(means good earth like
vegetable mould). Or simply Man from Schwarzeneck, where Schwarzeneck
means a small village name (Black Corner).
