If you drop a pound of feathers and a Boeing 747 from a height of 20,000 ft at the exact same time, which one will hit the world trade center first?

I should have had known this...

The pound of feathers. ^^

Let's all disguise ourselves as Basque and go to Antwerp harbor to dump the king's Boeings into the sea.

Well I think we all knew the ETA ceasefire couldn't last, didn't we?

All objects free fall at the same rate regardless of their mass, a concept in physics called acceleration gravity. However, a single loose feather could technically flutter away in the wind and breezily make its way down to the ground long after the Boeing 747. If it's a bunch of feathers crumpled up into a one-pound ball it'll just fall at the same rate as the plane.

Also, a belated happy 9/11 to all the the people of Europe! God bless you one and all this day, and may the Slavic, Celtic, Norse, Roman and Greek gods give similar blessings. And may the European Union bring the UK back into the fold one day, by military force if necessary, and then turn right around and occupy Switzerland too.

You could have prevented all of this

That's like the classic prank when your friends surround you and just tell you repeatedly in a mantra, "It's not your fault. It's not your fault."

I could've prevented the Crystal Notch from happening, I could have could have kept the Bear-Line Wall to spare Europe its grizzly demise.
