My intuitive answers on the physics questions:

(1) Chrysanthemum.

(2) Harold Lloyd.

I guess you're not of the school of thought that has the fall (and not the attempted landing) as being the first fatal bit, huh? Is that supposed to be true, or debunked? Also, how do you test and remain even vaguely ethical?

I read an article recently (and I wish I could remember where I saw it, but here's a similar article) about that very subject. They went to various animal hospitals and asked for info on their patients.

Oddly enough, maximum fatality seems to occur from falls in the 7 story range.

I don't think the "mild" salsa is very mild.

Burning lips! Burning lips!

I just love the word "chipotle" I swear I'd never heard it before I moved out west, and now every time I see it I have to roll the syllables over my tongue.

Almost as tasty as the flavour itself.

I like Chipotle's corn salsa, except for the GIANT chunks of jalapeno they put in it.

I brought my lunch today. I have a heavy hand with the garlic and red pepper flake, so my mouth is burning pleasantly, as well.

It had that weird popularity explosion about then -- one minute it was obscure, the next minute it was everywhere! I correctly predicted a couple of years ago that many of the winning Pillsbury Bake-Off recipes would include chipotle.

I hate when people say "chi-pole-tay." Just say the letters in order, people!

I go with their corn salsa, not least because it's the only one they have without big tomato chunks.

I wish there were a Chipotle convenient to me.

There's one on Maiden lane, is that close?

I think that, maybe, what makes the energy question seem less intuitive is the word "energy." I've found that when explaining stuff like this, a lot of people don't really have a working sense of the difference between energy and force.

The falling object one seemed completely intuitive to me. Though after seeing the number of people here who answered that it'll always have the same velocity, I think I need to rethink the way I explain the second derivative to my calculus classes, since I think I was basing that explanation on assumptions that it seems not everyone has.

Oh, really? That might be just the thing! I was actually thinking that it's a good thing there isn't one too convenient, but that could be doable. Really, I want one near my house, since I think big-ass burrito for lunch equals afternoon nap, and sometimes the bosses frown on that.
