Oh -- Anna Nicole Smith really DID die.
That's what I probably deserve for skipping like 200 "who said what" posts. But since I'm never quoted, my lack of interest is perhaps only slightly justified.
She didn't even touch her pumpkin. It's a freak with no face.

My friend was a physics teacher, and Kings Dominon would have "Physics Day" where students went for free and had to do problems about the rides.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I try to write as many questions as possible in terms of amusement park rides. Almost all of the basic Newtonian physics can be very well explained using amusement park rides.
That's AWESOME.
I can't believe it's not even 5 yet, especially given I didn't get here until 10. WTF?

That's so cool!
If I were able to afford it, that's exactly what I'd do with my students - take them to the amsement park and then spoil it all for them by making them solve rollercoaster and ferris wheels questions.

If you seated in a closed car with a helium balloon and the car accelerates forward does the balloon move backward, forward, or neither relative to you?

Yeah, she was at the Hard Rock hotel just south of here in Hollywood, FL. Eeep 39 years old. Whatever the story ends up being, very sad. What's the chances of her daughter not being totally screwed up?

What is even happening?
I'm hoping the fact that it was several jobs, years and a city ago will render the point moot. FORGIVE ME RIO!
May she come back here and kick your ass (I particularly mean the 'come back here' part of that, and reckon you'd sacrifice your ass for some RIO).

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Cedar Point did the same thing.

Gud, last year's final (not written by me) contained a question very similar to yours!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Forward. The atmospheric density would increase towards the back of the car, pushing the balloon forward. Looking at it another way, the acceleration would be as if the car had been tilted back, causing the balloon to float up/forward.
