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!!

Isn't it also the name of a character in one of the Star Trek shows?

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.

You're welcome, Stephanie.
That's right, Mary. He had/has huge ears.
The drink he served at his bar was blue, if I am not mistaken. i believe it's called Romulan Ale...
