Testing Gravity

In the interests of scientific enquiry, I conducted an experiment on Thursday.

Here's part of the results, which appear to show that gravity still works:

Other very sore parts aren't suitable for publishing on a blog, but hopefully my right hand won't offend Blogger's new "anti-nudity" policy.

And just as a public service announcement, if you are walking around in a shopping centre, don't assume that there isn't a half-melted ice-cream on the floor in front of you. Because as I found out the painful way, half-melted ice-cream removes any traction your footwear might have, resulting in your feet flying out from under you. As long as gravity is still working...

Hope you are ok. My problem is, I finds covered holes in nature strips and test gravity as well. Take care.

Hope you are on the mend. Face planted on the main street in Latrobe this week but only grazed my hand. A very nice lady rushed to my assistance. Soooo embarrasing.

Ouch! I highly recommend "Hirudpid" cream, from a chemist, for bruises. Given to me by a friend who is a nurse, when the kids we first learning to walk and always falling over!

Such a long way down when you're a grown up. This concept testing should be left to the little ones. Hope your are cheered up by knowing you are not alone in gong over. My best effort was at the top of the long escalators at Melbourne Central.

You picked an extremely painful way to test gravity. Hope it's doing better.
