Sign in to disble this ad
initially based upon personal experience, I've come to formulate a new hypothesis that vomit does not obey the traditional Newtonian laws of physics.
my hypothesis is this: While exiting the human mouth, vomit actually bends space-time so that it can successfully splatter the absolute largest area that it possibly can. There is no possible way under classical projectile motion that vomit can infect as much area as it has on my floor.
discuss.

discuss. | actually, given the diameter of a throat engaged in the regurgitation reflex, the large chamber of the mouth and rear sinus, and then the subsequent "nozzle"-like aperature of the mouth, vomit behaves completely predictably, modeled after a basic CD nozzle

There is nothing worse than cleaning up vomit while still drunk off your #%?& |

Hmmmmm.... Where's Atoz? He's some sort of rocket surgeon. Maybe we can get a govt grant to study this phenomena?

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: The Pit | | | Vomit can also pass through solid surfaces. I know this because at a house show once someone did the deed on the floor in the bathroom, and SOMEHOW it managed to drip through the SOLID TILE FLOOR onto my bass. I was upset, needless to say, and girl responsible would have been stomped, but her boyfriend was homeboy, so i couldn't do that. I just would up letter the air out of her car tires and then telling her it was those little green guys you see when you do acid. Drywall dust shares this ability as well. I lived in my house when it was being remodeled, I would know. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Norway | | I agree with OP's statement that vomit certainly bends the laws of physics. I have found through some research on the matter, though not nearly extensive enough, that vomit has a tendency to defy gravity and make a turn in the air so it hits your clothes rather than land neatly on the ground (where it will splatter everywhere as previously pointed out). The bend the vomit performs might be understood through this illustration: 
While the unlucky individual here might have his head a little too much on angle, I am sure you all get the idea. You projectile vomit forward when you stand slightly bent in the back, meaning it should go forward. But alas. I does not. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
