Stephanie, you asked

what's a quark?

In the latest theory's of physics, they are the subcomponents of protons, neutrons, electrons, and the other sub-atomic particles. It gets pretty hairy, trying to understand it.

so the correct answer to "got quarks?" is "yes, lots of 'em"

LOL! Thanks Ed! I thought I heard of the word "quark" but I had no idea what it meant. Plus, I just had to ask about your signature!!

It may have been, but I only watched the original Star Treks.

LOL! Ok, just thought that may have been where you heard the word. I'm not a Trekkie so I don't remember which one it was from. :)

I am not a Star Trek fan, either. However I do know that "Quark" was a character in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Two of my brothers were/are interested in the Star Trek series.
