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.
There's one on Maiden lane, is that close?
Oh, really? That might be just the thing! I was actually thinking that it's a good thing there isn't one

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.
Hm, now I have to go to Chipotle for lunch. The horror!
I remember when chipotle first became a trendy ingredient -- Cooking Light had to run a HUGE apology when they accidentally listed an ingredient as "1 can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce" when it should have been "1 pepper from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce" and hundreds of obedient readers scorched their tongues.
I hate when people say "chi-pole-tay." Just say the letters in order, people!
Oh, hell yeah. SO with you.
Of course, I meant "in order and slightly in Spanish," but you catch my drift.
or "Chi Pol Tel"
damn you all I want one of their burrito bowl things now! (I snobbishly/out of nostalgia only get real burritos in SF.)
But I will eat my big salad from home instead.
Yes.
Why couldn't the Latino guy from NFNS pronounce it correctly? I realize that it's Mexican not Puerto Rican but don't the regular rules for pronouncing words in Spanish stand?
Somebody tell me to do my homework. I am going away for the weekend and have to get it done by 3:30, damn it.
Someone at work has pinkeye and they are in the building spreading their contagion. They should be sent home.
