A chronometer should give you the same information as the moveable trap. Momentum is
conserved. The chrono gives you better accuracy there. Ballistic pendulums (penduli? pendulae?)
are lower tech, though, and pretty accurate.

Tip Jar: Why not.
Chris' experiment: Waste of time. If a .45 ACP round doesn't make a man-sized mass fly 50 feet - just like real life/the movies - it's obviously a failed experiment.

But that would be less fun. Most people would simply take their dead fridge to the dump rather than haul it out to the desert, fill it with Tannerite, blow it up, then recover the half of it that can be found to take to the dump.Frosch wrote:A chronometer should give you the same information as the moveable trap.

Not quite as tongue in cheek as I was hoping for, I was really hoping for something a blatantly rip-offish as MacDoogal's Golden Arcs was compared to McDonald's Golden Arches.
I does, however, expose the nerdy-like nature of our intellectual discussions (excepting assless chaps and bear threads).
If you are unwilling to give another man freedom in his life, do not expect to have it in your own.

I just thought of the name based on the idea that "The validity of the subject is neither here nor there, it is up to the observer to look at the backstop and see if he is both entertained and informed."
Remember, folks, you can't spell "douche" without "Che."
