I know, I know. You're really mad. But I can explain. See, I was reading aboout Galileo, a guy who
made all these great discoveries and did cool experiments. :) And the
book said that he dropped a heavy object and a light object out of a window to show thay'd land at the same time because
gravity is constant. But I thought, NO WAY! Heavy things fall fast and light things fall slow. We know this from Saturday
morning cartoons, right? So I decided to do the experiment myself. I found a concrete block in the garage and I got a tomato
from the fridge, and I took them up to the attic and opened the window and rested them on the sill. And it really, really
looked like there was going to be plenty of room for them to fall between the house and the car. I mean, like, who knew???
So then I pushed them out of the window together, but I must have pushed them just the tiniest bit too hard, because the block
went out a little farther than I expected, and it kind of landed on the car. But you know what? The tomato got there at exactly the
same time, which proves that Galileo was right! Boy, did I ever learn a lesson - and that's important thing, isn't it? I mean, even if you know something for a fact, like heavy stuff falls faster than light stuff,
it's best to check it with a carefully planned scientific experiment. Oh,
yeah, and also learned not to drop concrete blocks out of the attic window ;)
But in my opinion, the experiment was totally worth doing. There was just a slight mix-up, one
tiny detail that went wrong, so even though the car has a concrete block sticking out of the roof, technically IT'S NOT MY
FAULT! :) :)
