An exaggerated sense of one's own power…

An article from The Guardian, 20.3.14 (by Zoe Cormier):

So is it ever possible for a coin dropped from a skyscraper to be lethal?

"If you dropped a coin from high enough in a vacuum chamber, it could possibly kill you," Butterworth confirms. True vacuums, however, only exist in the lab: even space, once thought devoid of all matter, is sprinkled with gas and dust (though no skyscrapers as of yet).

A breadboard, on the other hand, is a different story. Dropped from the Empire State Building, which is 381 metres high, a 220g wooden breadboard on its side would take just under nine seconds to hit the ground and would hit you at a speed of 311km/hr.

So where does the penny myth come from? Butterworth suggests it might have something to do with the psychological impact of skyscrapers. "Maybe standing on tall buildings gives people an exaggerated sense of their own power."

Again.

Again.

I was in the newspaper…

In the year 1991, I appeared on page 16 of a newspaper at 85 lines per inch protesting against the government’s lack of funding of the art school I was enrolled in.

“It was a visible and highly motivate (sic) protest which gained the attention of four TV channels and radio and print media”. Radical.
