Alright then, I'll grab my book and I'll start on Monday with basic kinematics... <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <span style="color:#993366">In the event of a full scale nuclear war or NEO impact event, there are two categories of underground shelters available to the public, distinguished by depth underground: bunkers and graves...</span> </div>

I lied, I'll have to start this coming Monday... <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <span style="color:#993366">In the event of a full scale nuclear war or NEO impact event, there are two categories of underground shelters available to the public, distinguished by depth underground: bunkers and graves...</span> </div>

<p>Yeah, I think a new forum/topic for just things about the basic&nbsp;knowledge for physics for those of us, like me, who don't know too much at all about it.&nbsp; I'd be browsing that forum/topic all the time if we had something like that.xD&nbsp; We could call it "Physics 101"....</p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p align="center"><font size="3"><font color="#339966">"<strong>If it's planned,</strong></font> <font color="#808080"><u>it's boring.</u>"</font><font color="#ff9900"> </font><font color="#ffcc33"><strong>- <em>Freddie Mercury</em></strong></font></font></p> </div>
