Yep, it's drag verses mass in the presence of gravity.

Here's an interesting link: http://www.loadammo.com/Topics/March01.htm

It indicates a .30 caliber bullet hits terminal velocity at about 205 MPH.

Islamic women (in their eyes and book) are good for only two things.

1. Breeding little bin ladins to kill the west
2. Carrying TNT in their Braziers

With that many bullets falling, shouldnt people be dropping right and left?

Only if they were very careful about firing exactly vertical, given the distances involved, there are probably bullets raining down over at least a mile in each direction. Large area dramatically reduces probablity...but would bet that one or two people got hit, and quite possibly a number of roofs have sprung leaks.

I'm watching on Fox---its ALL MEN in that crowd..and they just raised a canadian flag.

[GRRRRR]

How embarassing for the Canucks...

Bush Applauds Arafat's 'New Attitude'
Scrapple Face ^ | 11/12/04 | Scott Ott

U.S. President George Bush today praised Palestinian leader Yassir Arafat for "assuming a new attitude," according to a White House spokesman.

"The president believes that Chairman Arafat's new attitude is one that bodes well for peace in the Middle East," said spokesman Scott McClellan. "Arafat's rhetoric has cooled in recent days."

U.S. negotiators reportedly expect the Palestinian leader to put up less resistance to reasonable proposals, thanks to "a new posture that is more grounded, stable, consistent."

"Chairman Arafat seems to be taking an in-depth look at the land he has fought to defend," Mr. McClellan said, "and yet he's looking up to a promising future, where the grass is greener. President Bush has long believed that it's your attitude that determines your altitude, and Mr. Arafat has become a great illustration of that."

"Anyone know if Carter made it to the "funeral"? "



Carter was seen driving the SUV.

Best way to kill em...let them gather in one spot, then drop a moab on them.

How can you be an islamist lover and like round bacon at the same time? Those wacky canucks.

[Chaos]

Looks like a bunch of ants attacking a cookie crumb!!
This is fun to watch.

[angcat]

Maybe they are in a hole because it is that time of the month. I was thinking about a Daisy Cutter when I saw the crowd!

[bonfire]

It IS quite entertaining.

[ruready4eternity]

LMAO! Bush Praises arafat lol!

4 MORE YEARS!

Interesting link. I particularly liked this sentence: Some have tried vertical shooting, but very few have had any luck hearing the bullet come back and strike the ground. Isn't the answer "if you hear it, you are dead"? Actually, I'd say they were extremely lucky not to jump to the front of the Darwin Award line.
