Extremely dead or very very broken

shit. the surface he/she would land on is grass/bushes..not that it would really matter

― kevin enas, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think the degree of deadness/broken-ness would depend on how fat the person was.

Hi Rainy! You should start up a 'Would you bounce if they threw you out the window?' thread.

It would provide us with a crafty means of finding out (yet again) how heavy or light everyone is.

Oh Nancy, I just couldn't do that. Not even to please you I'm afraid. Such a thread started by me would only:

a)intensify current thread topic rage and
b) confuse me because I can't calculate simple conversion equations.

― rainy, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

maybe you could start a thread about how beautiful simple conversion equations (and, heck, everything else!) are.

Omigod you're right, what was I thinking??

Though I don't think the second part of your objection is valid, as there are about a hundred threads in the archives which provide Imperial-Metric conversion formulae, BMI tables, calculations to work out whether we are small, medium or large-framed, etc., so even a duffer (which I don't believe you are) could do the math.

― Nancy Drew, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

maybe you could leave me alone.

― rainy, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

not you, Nancy.

― rainy, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I knew that Rainy *beams*. I was answering you but was obviously too slow.

― Nancy Drew, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

maybe you could stop playing the victim every time you start something.

― ethan, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

what exactly did i start? My comment upthread was not meant with malice or scorn, which is all you have ever directed at me.

― rainy, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

some sort of extra sassy sass-bug seems to have bitten il*.

i wonder if anyone has the antidote....?

Ethan are you fat?

― maryann, Wednesday, 23 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

more to the point, are you fatter than ME? AND YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

― maryann, Wednesday, 23 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

it depends on which floor the bullet came from

Well I...huh?

my freshmen year, i used to wonder about what would happen if you put a cat into a centrifuge.

If they landed on someone, they have a better chance of survival. Prevailing wind conditions could come into play. They could be blown into an open window, must be odds on this. Anyone mentioned Magnolia yet? I say, it is probably inadvisable to jump from 180 foot in the air. If they had parachute training, they may be able to land right, but this probably wouldn't be much good without a parachute.
