Just think of it as my own little contribution to our community.

Shawnee seems to be the only one who has given this any serious thought.

HungLikeJesus · 01-30-2008, 04:21 PM

My point exactly.

classicman · 01-30-2008, 04:36 PM

For the record, the plane will not take off!

That is simply my opinion which is worth as much as you paid for it.

but I'm still right :p

HungLikeJesus · 01-30-2008, 05:01 PM

The plane will take off.

As Newton said to Edmund Halley, "I have calculated it."

Oh for Christ's sake... IT'LL BE ON IN JUST A FEW HOURS.

Just sit tight and wait, 'kay?

my prediction is that the Mythbusters episode will do naught but inflame the argument into further heretofore unrealized levels of ridiculousness.

Wheels on a jet plane even make the Bushes irrelevant to the problem. In 356 days, even we will be independent of the bushes (which is really only a good place to pee).

I knew your obsession would never leave you. Who are you going to talk about when he is gone?

regular.joe · 01-30-2008, 10:27 PM

I ran on a treadmill for about 35 minutes the other day, I did not move forward. Does it matter if it's me or a jet plane on the tread mill?

Yes it does, your forward movement is foot (wheel) driven and the plane's is not.
