Exquixite Island. Home of the brave. Land of the... well... you know, there really isn't all that much on this island, as a matter of fact. It's a small, rather empty island off of New Kansas with a couple billboards on it. Justin's expression sums it all up. "hmmm"
So, late last night we went in search of greater adventures. According the the ThAir and Space Museum, now located at Caprica City, New Kansas, the laws of physics in There are quite different than what we're all used to. Various objects will fall through the atmosphere at different rates of speed. Here are a few descent rates as recorded in the museum's literature:

Avatar - 114 kph
Really Fat Avatar - still 114 kph
Buggy - 111 kph
"Dirt Devil" TUV - 79 kph
All other Standard TUVs - 83 kph
Monster TUV - 115 kph
Groovy Buggy - 111 kph
Hoverboard - 93 kph
Hoverbike - 165 kph
Bacio - 140 kph

Now that's pretty impressive. But take a gander at this figure. Get a hoverboat up above its operational limits and There forces it back down at a rate of 3,711 kph!! Now we just had to try that! So we took a trip up to Quark's Bar, which resides at 152000 meters above planet Theria. At this altitude we were up in space and figured the trip down would be an exciting one. A little math tells us that a lone avatar would take just over an hour to fall to the ground from this high up. It took us about two and a half minutes. Some call this crazy, others call it science. It's a fine line indeed.


Jon Quixote was There.
