KISS principle
Google claims ~968,000 for Stupid, ~11,000 for Silly, and ~1100 for Shithead in it's permutations. Never heard anything other than simple, shithead - Mechanics enjoy invoking it on hot days.

Gregorian calendar
Prev. Suggested "common era" was mis/under-used and derived from "christian era". CE is quite common, even in Theology. "Christian Era" is a retronomic reading by those of Christian faith.

Emitter-coupled logic
ECL has high steady-state continuous current compared to CMOS, but under well loaded conditions, CMOS draws more current during switching.

Vivisection
Slightly ambiguous as to varied interpretations depending upon context of intent. Could still use work, though.

Lake Guthridge is man made and filled with storm water, has had stagnant problems, Sale Canal is more noteworthy - it is supported by council and has historical significance. Added King George V Avn.

Clarifications re: accuracy in models (QM incl), added a note relative to modelling large-Z atoms. I'll have a closer look at the article later..

Found his birthdate - discrepancies exist as to whether it is 1983 or 1984. Most sources state 1983. Filled in details of interest - family, early career, british/irish tv appearances, etc.

Falcon 9
Gee, whoops! Last time I checked, they were still using Kestrel for Falcon 9. My sincere apologies. Sorry. It has an expansion of 117:1. It burns for 345s (see 1) Updated thrust/burntime/SI

Falcon 9
Repeat after me: MERLIN is a sea-level gas-generator cycle rocket engine (1st stage). KESTREL is a pressure-fed vacuum (space) rocket engine

Falcon 9
For the last time - the second stage engine is KESTREL - why would you use the Merlin as a second stage?
