ShinyHubCaps Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Not a Mitch Hedberg fan I guess.I know some of his material... is that one?I'd imagine if you're on an escalator that is moving and it abruptly stops, you're going to fly backward.I'd think you would move forward, but only at about 3 mph or whatever the rate of the escalator is. I'm sure one of Newton's laws applies here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southernyankee Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I still can't believe they're going to tear down the RCA Dome...it seems like only a few years ago that thing was brand new, and I was in there getting a tour of the place...Tell me about it. I feel that way about the Edward James Dome, which will be among the next to fall.I was actually also at the very first event at Market Square Arena as well - a Glen Campbell concert in 1974!(I was 11. My mom made me go.)You're allowed to admit you like Glen Campbell. When you do so, it will be gentle on your mind.By the way, the next time you go to Phoenix, I wonder if she'll be risin' by the time you get there.LOL - wonder how many here caught that one. Very 70's - so cheesy it was funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Not a Mitch Hedberg fan I guess.I know some of his material... is that one?His joke is basically what you said only in his Mitch Hedberg rhythm. It goes along the lines of (paraphrasing here) an escalator can never break down, it can only become stairs. You should never see a sign that says "escalator temporarily out of service" only a sign that says "escalator temporarily stairs"..."sorry for the convenience". It really loses its mmph when explained on a message board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure one of Newton's laws applies here.Hmm. I was thinking if you're on an escalator going up and it stops, you'd be sent in the other direction, or at least you'd be jarred enough to lose your balance and fall backward. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 You have forward inertia, so if the escalator stops moving your body will continue to move in that direction, and you'll stumble forward. Even going up. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
