the mantissa is what it formed when the water (or wine or hootch) comes up the side of your glass...
... BB, you come to mind when I drive through Tuolumne Meadows... when are you going to come climb some slab with us?

REAL, DOUBLE PRECISION - Fortran for a subset of all binary rational numbers
float, double - C for the same
Oddly enough most programmers who use either language are not aware that they are not what mathematicians describe as "real numbers", or that there are no irrational numbers on their computers.
mantissa - a funny animal. Also the thing chemists call meniscus.

I think Ed,
You mean meniscus, not mantissa for the liquid property
