Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Who knew we had the same issues, Kristen? Because I was driven to violence and despair where you were.

42! I love the smell of a good google. And that number holds whether or not the hole goes through the center of the planet. Apparently math is weird.

I haven't watched GA all season, but watched tonight. After reading much of the white font. Now I'm kinda curious. Darn it.

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

42!

I was gonna guess 40.

Except that as you get deeper and deeper into the earth, the density of the air would increase,

What would the numbers be for just falling that height? As for gravity weakening, remember it's enough to get you all the way out to the other end. Without drag and that fancy stuff, you're doing (according to my page, not the TV show that said 32 hours) "almost 17,700 miles/hr" at the centre.

Oh-meara--they had Meredith cursing at her cellphone, so that makes sense--they were the only two who couldn't find each other.

That sure was a lot of spit being swapped there.

Suzi, I have to say I fell out of love with it and was kinda watching it idly today. But there was some great Yang and some marvellous Bailey, and some of the rest wasn't offensive. But some of the rest was. Like, really was.

Yeah, I meant my statement to only apply to the case when aerodynamic drag is considered. Without drag, you'd continue to accelerate until you reached the center.

Oh, and if you happened to find a cellphone and then it rang, would you pick up? I was thinking the person calling might be freaked out to hear some stranger answer, but the CTA guy (I found the phone on a train) I gave the phone to said I should have answered. Then he said he'd answer the next time it rang, and thanked me for turning it in....


Kristen - May 22, 2008 9:52:25 pm PDT #8561 of 10001

meara, I'm just happy that they did not go out on a dumbass cliffhanger. Will Meredith find Derek? Will Derek find Meredith? Will Derek give up AGAIN and make do with Rose? They also did not do that thing where someone opens a door and we don't know who's on ther other side.

Not that I am convinced this whole "lemme run out for a minute and break up with Rose... be back in a jif" will go as planned. Though it would be nice if it did.

Who knew we had the same issues, Kristen? Because I was driven to violence and despair where you were.

Now that you say that, I can see where we might have the same issues. (For obviously different reasons.) I think everyone should get to have a "shut up and let me work" moment.


meara - May 22, 2008 10:01:38 pm PDT #8562 of 10001

Heh. I think there should be lots MORE of those moments, Kristen, but then I suppose if there were, it wouldn't be quite the same show. But I definitely have not loved Christina this season as much as I have in the past....mostly because she hasn't been DOING much this season. Moping around and being shoved into the background. Boring! And since I haven't much enjoyed the storylines that have caused her character to be backgrounded...all the more reason to be grumpy. Next season. Next season.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Wonder if they'll run a marathon any time, or reruns over the summer. I didn't so much drop GA as forget it existed after last season. But I do like a good WTF.
