The Pencil Is Mightier Than The Sword

The Pencil Is Mightier Than The Sword
Behold the humble #2 pencil—transformed into a ballistic nightmare! This is pure physics chaos in graphite form. When you accelerate that pointy boi to ridiculous speeds, kinetic energy skyrockets with the square of velocity (E=½mv²). That innocent school supply becomes a high-velocity projectile that could punch through materials like they're made of wet tissue paper! The same principle that makes meteorites devastating is why you shouldn't anger your physics teacher. They've done the calculations... they know exactly how fast to throw that pencil! 🚀📝💥

Prehistoric Ballistic Evidence

Prehistoric Ballistic Evidence
The perfect archaeological mystery solved in two tweets. Top tweet: "In the right hands, a sling can hit with the force of a 9mm bullet." Bottom tweet: "Mysterious hole found in bison skull supposedly from 40,000 years ago." Congratulations, paleontologists, you've just discovered our ancestors' impressive marksmanship. Turns out David vs. Goliath wasn't fiction—it was a hunting manual. Next research paper title: "Ancient Ballistics: How Prehistoric Humans Sniped Dinner From 50 Paces."

Ballistic Carrots: When Physics Ruins Dinner

Ballistic Carrots: When Physics Ruins Dinner
When humanitarian aid becomes ballistic weaponry. Turns out the terminal velocity of a carrot is 147mph (or 65.9 m/s), making it less of a food drop and more of a root vegetable artillery strike. Those poor wallabies survived bushfires just to play vegetable dodgeball with physics. Next time maybe parachute the produce? Just saying, "death by flying carrot" is not the dignified end Australia's wildlife deserves after everything else they've endured.
