OMFG the higher you get the more stronger gravity becomes + the higher you go the less oxygen there is to breath. COMMON LOGIC LMAO , the funny part about it is that you seemed so confident about your little statement. hahahah the higher you go the stronger the gravity.... |

goldielucks User ID: 794598 United States 12/03/2012 08:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Let’s see now. If da widdle birdie flapped its wings with sufficient continuous force to propel him/her through space at 50 mph, it would take …hmmmm Quoting: The Professor 385883 Distance of Earth to moon: 238,000 miles (average distance) Hours needed to traverse that distance at a wing-breaking 50 mph: 4,760 hours ( 238,000 miles divided by 50 miles/hour equals 4,760 hours). Number of days to reach the moon: 198 days (4,760 hours divided by 24 hours/day equals 198 days). Forget the limitations imposed by gravity; Forget about escape velocity; Forget about the lack of oxygen. These concepts, believe it or not, are above the intellectual capacity of a few (????) unenlightened members of our society . It’s all about the food. Every fridge-raiding, buffet loving, chip dipping, wide butt couch potato on the planet knows that a bird can’t go 198 days with no food or water; hell, these finger lickers can’t go 4 hours without a 4,000 calorie snack!!! Even those more slender members of our fast-food society can comprehend the nutritional needs of other life forms. They certainly understand that a bird cannot endure 198 days without food or water, especially when it is burning calories at an enormous rate while feverously flapping its wings the entire time. And when the exhausted bird finally lands on the moon, what in the hell is it supposed to eat? Damn, that would take another 198 days for a return trip to the more hospitable Earth. Birds can’t fly to the moon because of the food, and they don’t even try because, apparently, they are smarter than some humans. I hear that there are restaurants on the moon. The food is great, but no atmosphere. |

Face Palmer User ID: 28987433 Germany 12/03/2012 08:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Someone actually asked this question!?? :O Quoting: Whatttt 478810 1. There is no atmosphere in space. A biological organism would simply explode via the oxygen leaving every cell in its body. 2. There is no oxygen in the first place to even let the bird get that far. They would simply pass out and fall to the ground looong before they leave the atmosphere. 3. And they wouldnt even get a chance to live out the step two scenario. At 40,000ft the temperature is -55 C. Even for our feathered friends.. thats 1/3 as cold as liquid nitrogen. 4. Their not that fucking stupid. They are birds.. yet they know better then the op. Shame on you!! Great post, but I had to cringe at that point. "The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title." Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women |

Quoting: iam_ur@ 370334 From my understanding most birds do not fly at night so they are sleeping when the moon is out. Maybe birds do not know there is a moon. Yes thats right, because you cant see the moon in daylight can you... Fucking Douche. |

You have no idea what is on the other side of its inscrutable surface. You take a deep breath and dive in.... To be born. Inside the shell of foam you live and strive with others in the mud and darkness. This is not your element. You are strong at first. In time you tire and sink into the mud. Your shell dissolves. Like a star, you shoot to the surface, rising above the flat obsidian blackness of the pool. Seeking the sun, you climb upwards and crouch on a branch, waiting for your wings to dry. |

Not only does gravity get weaker as two objects move apart... it becomes EXPONENTIALLY weaker as gavitational pull is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two masses.
