Global Warming Hah!...this is much more alarming!!!!

[Rich S]

You need to get Al Gore involved. After inventing the internet and stopping global warming I am sure this would be a easy problem to fix.

Al Gore didn't invent the Internet, Rich, he created it. Personally, I don't see the difference but the Internet Creationists seem to get set off by claiming Gore "invented" it.

I was going to reply last night, but I couldn't keep my eyes open. Silly me--I thought I was sleepy, but Doug has pointed the way to the obvious answer. I couldn't keep my eyes open because my eyelids were heavier. GRAVITY!

I also see its stronger presence in the morning when I try to get out of bed. It gets stronger and stronger. Is there maybe some connection between heavier gravity forces in the morning and late at night?

Personally, I've been having heavy gravity days for the last 4 weeks or so.

Doug, I think you've hit on something here.

The increasing gravity theory is TRUE. Just look at your TESTICLES!!!

[doug hodder]

Fred...that "lady" was chosen as Miss Gravity for a very specific reason...just look at what it has done to what for sure were once beautiful breasts!!!!

And for Al Gore jumping in on this...well, we've been e-mailing back and forth on it, but damn...he e-mails like he talks and I lose interest and just scroll down to see the punchline...then delete it. He keeps e-mailing me crappy jokes that I don't care about, and then wants me to forward it to everyone I know...besides...he's so pushy.

Just sitting here at the computer, I noticed some kids having an easter egg hunt next door....know what I saw?...I fully witnessed a gravity micro-burst and an egg got sucked out of a kids hand and to the ground, poor ignorant child, doesn't realize what he just experienced....coincidence...I think not!!!

The following picture, while shocking in nature truly addresses this problem...a once viable embryo wantonly destroyed by nothing else but gravity...not a pretty site is it? This once chicken to be will never know the pleasures of eating a june bug and scratching in the ground. Sad...just so sad.



32 feet/second squared, is all we ask...not just a good idea...IT'S THE LAW!!! Doug

Doug,
That gravity deal caused me some problems yesterday afternoon...
I was standing on one of those cheap plastic foot stools...(It's a short people thing)
I was leaning out over the stained glass panel about four feet or so when all the sudden, one of the legs folded under, which dropped my feet to the floor and which also dropped my elbow onto the panel....
Broke an intricate piece of glass and had to disassemble several pieces to get to so I could replace it.
Cost me about two hours...
I had a goal of having half of the globe fabricated by the 7th.
Missed my goal by twenty minutes, put the last piece to the lower half in at 12:20 AM this morning.

I'm supposed to have this monster installed before the 21st.
It's no major work of art, but giving it structure and wind loading due to it's size makes this project challenging... Not to mention how far off the ground it's going to be placed.
Wish me luck and don't even start on me about maybe having to bring a soft sider to Shasta.




BTW-Yaa think gravity might have something to do with hair turnin' gray?

[madjack]

Dean...absolutely...the color pigments are being forced downward by the increased gravity...I have actually been aware of the chages for a while now and thought I was the only one...I first noticed it back in the early 80's when I moved back home from Colorado...suddenly everything was just somewhat "heavier"...later, in my trucking career, I noticed that the air seat was riding lower and that my pants would not go up as high because my chest was settling into my abdomen...HELP...when will the madness end...

When you were a kid and fell 2 feet from a chair it wouldn't hurt much. That would be equivelant to falling 4ft in grown up size. Falling 4ft nowadays will hurt something.

When I was a kid, I'd roll out of bed and not even wake up. Now, I'd definitely notice.

Heck!!! I remeber as a kid playing in a hay barn, jumping off the hay loft 14' high?? Now just jumping (if you call it jumping) off my truck tailgate I really think about it.

[Juneaudave]

Dean...how BIG is that thing???? It really looks great!!! I can't even imagine the craftmanship that has been put into it. BTW...no NASCAR this weekend...the Master's is the sport event I'm watching!!!

[Nitetimes]

Your problem as I see it is you got that wrong side up.
It should be like this:

[Gaston]

Hey Doug
Have you tried Al Gore yet? I hear he will fall for most anything if he's not busy inventing another internet or something

[robfisher]

Doug, Thank You! What a great thread.

[alaska teardrop]

Doug,

Found (actually he just dropped in) another gravity expert for you to consult.

And he claims to be much more studied on the 'Local Doppler Shift' than what's his name.

Fred

:peace:

P.S. Did your C9H8O4 credits come in handy this morning?

[s4son]

On PBS tonight........

[angib]

As usual Fred has a wise point to make: cartoons - now they will teach you the truth about gravity.

If you pay attention to all cartoons, you'll see that gravity only applies when you believe it does - run out in mid-air off the cliff and you'll do just fine...... but look down, see the drop, let doubt enter your mind and you'll plummet like a stone.

So this may be a confidence thang - Doug if you just believed more, gravity wouldn't be such a problem - you need to think only upwardly thoughts - "every day in every way I'm getting lighter and lighter (as well as more beautiful)", that sorta thing.

Of course now I'm left wondering how come stones fall like, well, like stones, seeing as I didn't think they thought that much........
