Crushing Cradle
Newton would hopefully approve!
Oh, and I promised I would let you guys know in this comment if I did anything like this strip again. So if you’re reading this through some obscure RSS reader and you don’t notice anything different with today’s strip, I’d advise you to click through to the site to check it out in its full glory.
If you’re still puzzled, even after reading the tags, then you’re probably using your grandmothers Tandy 2000 computer from 1983 to browse the internet, and I definitely can’t help you with that.
hey, there’s a guy crapping himself in the abandoned building!
you should add a “health hazard” tag. :)
Wow, that’s awesome. They should use this as a visual ad for physics class. Kids will :love: it!
2bachterman: I think both buildings are inhabited (i. e. :not: abandoned).
Hehe… it’s a building tycoon’s wet dream to have this setup outside his office!
Very nice.
Brilliant comic! :D
Hehe, funny stuff! But it wouldn’t work, because those wrecking balls are not in a cradle, so the wires wouldn’t hold them in line.
Gillsing, don’t insult us with your LOGIC and KNOWLEDGE. What kind of joint do you think this is, one where anything makes sense?! We like our jokes obscure, our logic flawed and our news from Fox News.
Well, maybe not the last part. I’d rather be given a lobotomy than be forced to watch Fox News. Although after the lobotomy, Fox News might start making sense to me…
Play nice, guys! But yeah, logic and knowledge is pretty insulting, I’d agree.
However, these wrecking balls are in line, suspended by disbelief.

Aw, I’m sorry. I guess I just wanted it to work, you know? So that I could watch it on YouTube some day…
As a physics student this could work under the assumption that these things are positioned exactly, we ignore quantum physics, there is zero air movement, the recking balls are spheres of uniform density, all collisions are elastic and the collisions with the building are strictly linear.
That is 6 assumptions, I have seen useful physics theory’s with more. Or more crazy ones like needing umpteen dimensions .
Wait. We don’t need some of those assumptions. All we need is linear collisions and elastic collisions and no air movement.
Thats only 3.
Myth busted! … Too bad.
This is just awesome! I love the animated ones
