People who know their favorite porn stars by name, and mention them to you like you should know them to.

I have never understood this either. The only porn star I know is like, James Deen, but that's because he's a fucking goof and does things like that Seinfeld porn parody and the "Lemon Stealing Whores" one.

I have never, EVER understood the alleged humor behind "Guess what? Chicken butt." Really...even as a kid, it seemed stupid to me.

Rates of growth and decay that do not remain constant. For instance, if you dropped a ball from 280 ft and it fell at ten feet its first second, it would actually not take 28 seconds to land. Instead, while I can't remember the exact number from that math problem, it would take 7 or 8 seconds to land, and the number was as random as you could imagine. Another interesting fact is that from 560 ft. you don't double the amount of time it would take. Why doesn't falling speed double or half when you divide or multiply the height of the building?

Another good example is calculating interest. We know it's Principle times rate times time. I=prt. However, if that interest were to itself collect interest then knowing the exact answer is much more needlessly complex to figure out.

Ooh, yay! Math! Physics! I don't know enough about physics yet but I do know this! This thing is constant, just not the part you're looking at. The constant part is the force being enacted on it. The speed is a function of time. It doesn't double or half when you double/half the distance because it's an exponential function. Also it would drop 9.8 meters in its first second unless it had an initial velocity that was not equal to 0. Forgive me if any of this is not 100% correct, it's been a little while. P:

I don't understand people who sleep with their phone next to their bed, and complain about being called awake in the middle of the night.

Things speed up as they fall...

If you ignore air resistance these equations will be useful:

S is distance, a is acceleration, t is time, u is initial velocity and v is final velocity.
Gravity asserts a constant acceleration over small changes in height, as someone else mentioned, which means these problems aren't that bad.

why people make it a goal to be banned from something, and then brag about it. if it's an achievement to you, then think of it as an xbox 360 achievement worth 0 gamer points.

Same! Actually, I honestly don't even understand how your phone can even actually wake you up in the middle of the night... Maybe I just sleep really heavy...
