    Default M(=Momentum)oosemuss

    Before I forget this, I'd change M=Mass to M=Momentum:

    Like velocity, linear momentum is a vector quantity, possessing a direction as well as a magnitude: p=mv.
    Or, getting back to Ken's post:

    Mass should be changed to Nathan. As in Nathan Bedford Forrest -- a simple reminder to get "thar fustest with the mostest."
    which has the same velocity and mass elements as "momentum" - yielding a vector quantity well suited to "converging columns", etc.

    But, NOOSEMUSS just doesn't have the same ring as MOOSEMUSS; so thus "Momentum" instead of "Nathan".

    Regards

    Mike
