Do Military Women Like Sitting And Faring On Balloons

What would the balloon or beach ball smell like if a military woman sat on top of it and farted on it?

Yea, I remember my first beer.

If the earth is rotating at a high speed and we jump up, why doesn't the earth move below us at high speed?

Since other answers have correctly mentioned the atmosphere and such, let's take it out of the equation for the sake of argument and see what happens.In terms of the difference in the helicopter's path vs. the ground, let's look at what happens during one whole day as the Earth rotates.  Assuming the helicopter can perform an ideal, vertical-acceleration-only hover, then the surface of the Earth and the helicopter have the same tangential speed as the Earth turns, due to conservation of momentum.  But, since the helicopter is now a few feet (~1 meter) above the ground, the path the helicopter takes to go around the Earth during one day is now slightly longer as compared to the surface itself. The added circumference of that trip all the way around the Earth for the helicopter turns out be just 2 times Pi times the height above the ground.  It takes the Earth just under 24 hours to rotate once on its axis, so the helicopter would have to move at an additional horizontal speed of maybe 18 feet (~5.5 meters) per 24 hours, or something like 0.00014 miles per hour (~0.00022 km/h) to stay directly over the same spot on the ground.  This is such a negligible difference in horizontal speed that you don't notice it in any practical system.A real helicopter would deviate horizontally by a speed that is orders of magnitude more than that when it takes off anyway.  And, of course, helicopters fly in the atmosphere, which is coupled to the ground.  It's also fair to say that wind speed dominates any effects from conservation of momentum, as it's orders of magnitude larger, even at high altitudes.  So, real aircraft worry about the difference in wind speed and direction vs. the ground, rather than orbital mechanics.

Can someone share a "Southern" joke with this Texas gal?

What's the real difference between a Yankee Zoo and a Southern Zoo?

On the cage, a Yankee Zoo will have the name of the animal and then the scientific name in Latin.

Whereas, a Southern Zoo will have the name of the animal and the recipe.....!


You know you are in Texas when---

You discover that in July, it takes only 2 fingers to drive your car . . .

You no longer associate bridges (or rivers) with water . . .

You can say 110 degrees without fainting . . .

You eat hot chili to cool your mouth off . . .

You can make sun tea instantly . . .

You learn that a seat belt makes a pretty good branding iron . . .

You notice the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance . . .

Hotter water comes from the cold water tap than the hot one . . .

It's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation, and not one person is moving on the streets . . .

You actually burn your hand opening the car door . . .

Sunscreen is sold year round, kept at the front of the checkout counter . . .

A formula less than 30 SPF is a joke and you only wear that to go to the corner store . . .

Hot air balloons can't go (at all) . . .

No one would dream of putting vinyl upholstery in a car . . .

Your biggest bicycle wreck fear, "what if I get knocked out and lay on the pavement and cook to death"?

You realize that asphalt has a liquid state.

Have you ever dreamed of giving birth from your mouth?

then weirdly enough the next year i saw an art student make a rubber or air balloon plastic
i almost freaked out
my dream i gave birth at a large wooden table into a plate with others like men and women sitting around and they were quiet waiting on me
a red liquid like blood but not looking exactly blood fell out my mouth and the baby and cord gell
the baby was small
but alive
