i was tryin to pull my friends ranger out of a field down in holly springs a little while ago, and could barely get in there myself without getting buried much less pull anything, so after about 30 minutes of deciding whether or not to go get the tractor, i had a physics epiphany, we chained the front of his truck to a tree with a 60' logging chain (that mother fucker weighed a metric ton), and i hooked my tow strap halfway down in a drier spot where i could get some traction, and pulled at a 90 dergree angle to it. it snatched his truck right out of there eeven though his front bumper was plowing mud as he went. so this post is for future reference for anyone else in that kinda situation.

I thought the classic physics example of this was to calculate how birds effect power lines when they sit on them.

Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?

Depends on if its an African swallow or European swallow, and if it's laden or unladen.

I don't know.


WWHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa....

Two swallows could carry it on a line. Or under the dorsal guiding feathers.
