| Everyone knows the plight of Wile. E. Coyote. In his relentless pursuit of Roadrunner, he runs off a cliff, but remains suspended in midair until he realizes hes suspended in midair and plummets to the ground. This case will analyze the "Cartoon Laws of Physics" and use knowledge of the principles and laws of Earthly physics to debunk the blunders of cartoons, TV shows and movies. | |
