A train, and a housefly, are heading directly at each other at a very high speed. The train and the fly then collide. Now obviously, the fly will hit the train, the train will overcome the fly, and the fly will head in the other direction.

Now the laws of physics state for an object to head in one direction, then have a 180 degree change (which the fly undergoes), then there must be an instant where said object experiences no motion. Think of a baseball, the instant the bat hits the ball, it has to stop for a brief second then go the other way.

So the question is: Since this is an elastic collision, and the fly undergoes a 180 degree turn in motion, and since the train is attached to the fly at this instant...

... does the fly, technically, stop the train?

AHEM! *glare*

And so starts the long and SOGGY summer of Ohio, known to all as the "The Year The Black Knight Ticked of his Consort, the Storm Queen". Oh and the state declared that in pennance, BK would answer questions for anyone who came to ask for as long as as it rained.

Hanama bay is a state park only the park is actually the beach. It is a federal crime to fish there. You can see 40 feet down straight to the bottom and has rare strains of coral and the fish are so tame that they will swim right up to you to be fed. Even those scary ass stonefish.
