... the idea that every particle has a "super symmetric" partner particle with a ridiculous name (electrons have selectrons, quarks have squarks).....

I had a case of the 'squarks' the other day; it wasn't pretty. No need for String Theory, Quantum Theory has already predicted the chances of me adding anything meaningful to this conversation; it stands at 0%.

Having that much in cash (and even whatever it ends up after taxes ... ) is rich by any reasonable standard.
