Falling Memes

The laws of physics apparently take a lunch break in educational institutions! Notice how gravity weakens slightly as you move up in grade level - from 10 m/s² in middle school to 9.81 m/s² in high school. The person falling from the building perfectly illustrates why seniors feel like they're floating through their final year. Maybe by college, gravity drops to 9.5 m/s² and in grad school, you just hover completely. Newton would be horrified at this blatant disregard for universal constants... or maybe he'd appreciate finally getting a break from that apple always hitting him on the head.
