// Analysis 1, Rose wants to do a physics demonstration involving gravity Rose (to Kirk): Do you have balls in this classroom? Kirk: Yeah, they're underneath each chair *Rose takes the tennis ball off the leg of the empty chair in front of him* Rose: Okay, so I'm not actually going to drop this, but you can imagine what would happen if I did

//Schwartz retells his AP Environmental Science story (see 8087), then this Schwartz: I finished my AP Physics exam early, and I was sitting next to the brick wall. Schwartz: So I estimated the width of each brick, and, timing with my watch, dropped a pencil repeatedly, to estimate acceleration by gravity. Schwartz: I got it within 10%. //Some of the class erupts in moderate applause //later Schwartz (to Andy): Were you typing that into Blairbash as I was talking?

//Talking about gravitational pull Schafer: So if Alan and Shariar are one meter apart, the gravitational pull would be- //Alan scoots closer to Shariar //Shariar sits awkwardly Schafer: Or... half a meter. That works too. And since we're already awkward, lets get more awkward. Let's say each of you are 100 kg. Which I know is not true, because you'd be over 200 lbs. Are you accelerating towards each other? Class: Uh... Schafer: Yes! But the gravitational pull is so little you cannot see it. Student: Could Shariar be accelerating away? Scafer: Well, there are both attractive and repulsive forces... Class: Ooh...

//In room 215, during lunch Non-magnet girl: S**t! //A loud clanging noise Girl: F**k! //Bends down and emerges with her water bottle Schafer: That was a lot of cursing for such a little thing like gravity. I mean, gravity is the weakest of the fundamental forces! If something happened with the strong force, then I'd understand. Girl: This is how I know I'm in a magnet classroom...

Blitz: "Acceleration? What acceleration?" Greg: "From GRAVITY!" Blitz: "Gravity doesn't have acceleration!"
