I am not
dying slowly. I am
falling from the sky
scraper.
I do like this. My only suggestion is to replace a with the.

skscraper.

Acceleration due to gravity is 32feet/sec/sec....slowly but then not.

Happy landings,

The irony is that despite being in the us, I was taught it was 9.87m/s


Intredasting. But, no seriously.. Maybe if I put all the words in the second sentence on the same line in the same space, so it looks like they were splooged together.

Nope...it has to be metres per second per second otherwise it is velocity NOT acceleration....listen up at the backSmile
yeah, well, maybe that's why I'm falling from the skyscraper to begin with -- not fully understanding the consequences of gravity.

Falling from any great height is a rapid learning curve...and it gets rapider'n rapider Smile

Because science would be really weird if everyone used different units, while economics can suck it? Then agin, you folks still use psi, right? And what the hell is a pound, is an inch?

Dropping by to say that I somehow prefer the falling text, though that would really only work on the internet (it reminded me of this: http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0443.html ). For now, "sky / scraper" makes me think of a giant snow shoevl coursing through the clouds, or Zeus scratching his itchy (icky) back, which I don't think is what you want.

Holy shit...where have you been? We use grams and Kilometres now...only the US is stuck on pounds and miles!
Mind you, it's not the units that cause problems...metres per sec per sec or feet per sec per sec is what makes acceleration (rate of change of velocity) anything per second squared.
Who cares? Write poetry squared.
