RE: what is your bananafish?

But seriously, what most people don't realize is the fact that wind (or
fluid) resistance occurs at the trailing end of an object, not at the
front. I guess it's refered to as drag. Low pressure is created in the
wake and pulls the object back. The common misconception is that the high
pressure in the front would push the object back. It's easier to see if
you move your hand fast through water, rather than by putting your hand out
of the car window. Think of how those racing bicycle helmets are shaped,
round in the round but pointed in the back to resist drag.

Careful, talking in class is frowned upon in this academy, especially if
you
stir up your classmates. It's really not that bad, we occasionally get a
guest lecturer.

It was very entertaining, it reminds me of my trip to the Grand Canyon, as
I
leaned over the rail to peer down, I nearly fell when my brother said
"that's a big hole".

You have shut my mouth.

It seems everyone read this post as an entertaining anecdote with no
underlying
objectives to be investigated. Is this because it was simple, no big words
or popular psychological concepts? Or because I am not an "author"? Well,
was it enjoyable? Would it be more enjoyable to dissect it? How about
trying to interpret any point I was making? Or maybe there is no point and
I'm only amusing myself by tossing some odd shaped rocks upon the water to
watch the ripples? What if that is the point? Any ripples out there?
