If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.

It's a pity but you know the palm tree wasn't going too fast. It's amazing any of us make it through our young adulthood.

That's because Australian Palm Trees find the blood of children distasteful. They must age properly and become fully ripe with a high blood alcohol content.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925

Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Trees are amazingly strong.

But then again, cars are increasingly built with crumple zones and other safety features that make cleaving such a vehicle in two quite possible.

I wonder what would happen if we took one of those old metal behemoths from the 60's and accelerated it to the same speed as the situation here.

I suppose that a little bit more of the tree would be gone.
Slave to the Patriarchy no more
