I was told that carrots would make your eye sight better. It's not true. I brought carrots up to the top of the Empire State Building, and I couldn't see any farther. Did you know that a carrot can impale a person when falling at 9.8 m/s^2 off a tall building? You do now.

 

 

You're at the top of the Empire State Building with a vegetable. What happens while you're up there?

(April showers bring odd prompts, see.)

Your story may be serious or lighthearted or as silly as you like so long as it is 100 or fewer words.

Yeah, accelerating at that rate. Good Shortie, Jax.

That's the true rate of acceleration of a falling object....I remember from physic class. LOL
JOHN BECK Apr 14, 2012, 8:51am UTC
Right. So that would be the speed at the end of the first second.

ah, death by carrot. I knew you could kill someone with a penny but never though of a vegetable LOL Good one

I figure anything falling from that distance....and carrots are usually shaped like a mini trowel or spear.

Carrots are indeed an amazing vegatable. A wonderful story.

I spit off of the top of the empire state building and cleaned a cab.
