We've all heard the question - Is the glass half empty or half full? Of course if you were to say "half empty" you would be considered a pessimist. If you were to say "half full" you would be considered an optimist.
But how many of you see the glass as being 100% full?
I submit to you that 1/2 is comprised of the liquid in the glass and the other 1/2 is comprised of air (21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen, and approximately 1% other trace gases).
Some people would argue that air does not take up space and therefore can not be included. To that I say, What happens when you blow up a balloon?
What do you think about this weeks Outside The Box question?
