Please do.

Gravity will fail again as city officals will be able to scrape up whatever is left on the ground.

This thread also reminds me a lot like High School for some reason.

I see the same thing in his other topics. Perfectly valid topics ruined by a bunch of idiots trying to flame Arcadio, because it's the cool thing to do.

If you don't like the topic, just don't post in it... it is a pretty simple concept.
A lot of it is probably because 'e refuses to post the letter ' if it is the start of any of a word in 'is posts. Why 'e does this is a mystery, as 'e simply doesn't even mention it. Any kind of explanation would be 'elpful.

Jokes also often seem to go right over 'is 'ead quite consistently, as though 'e were never properly 'umor calibrated.

Also:

Yes, gravity is indeed a weak force. Horribly weak.


That's why you don't go flinging off into space as the earth rotates and you don't have to hold on for dear life.
That's why the planet you stand on has been orbiting the sun for the last 4 billion years or so without zinging off into space.
That's why the planet you stand on coalesced into a planet in the first place.
That's why there is a sun to light the sky, warm the planet and let things grow for you to feed your stupid mouth.
That's why stars ignite into nuclear fusion, and maintain their fusion throughout their life cycle.
That's why stars form coalescing out of hydrogen in stellar nurseries.
That's why stars occasionally explode in novae and scatter heavy elements throughout the cosmos.
That's why stars collapse into singularities or ultra-dense objects.

That's why things work the way they do. Your rant sucks. If you have a problem with kids eating cookies off the floor, then get your lazy ass up, pick up the damn cookie and throw it in the god damn garbage.

I don't think it too weak, it was able to pull my chest down to my stomach with no problem.

gravity pwned us all when it pulled him out into the world. If only the good samaritan didn't check the dumpster that day.

All of your topics made me think of nothing other than you being a complete tool.

I can 'onestly say that most of my topics are very educational and informative. But let's get back to gravity, please.

To those of you who think gravity is strong, you are not really seeing the big picture: the entire planet Earth pulls all objects towards its center. 'owever, just by picking up an object you are using a force which is greater than the force exerted by the entire planet Earth.

A really strong force is present in the nucleus of an atom. The force that 'olds the nucleus of an atom is so strong, that breaking that force is what produces an atomic bomb. And we are talking about an atom. Not an entire planet.

Mommy doesn't pay a lot of attention to you, does she?

Electromagnetism also has infinite range, and is much stronger than gravity.


And WRT a different post, just because gravity is relatively weak does not negate its effectiveness. Newton's first law of motion, people.
