Popular and not so popular music not your cup of tea?
Don't care for Yodels?

Well, if you are well grounded, have the gravitas to be Veep or simply have your head in the clouds then take my quiz: Fun with Physics - Gravity:

Will there be any perfect scores or will you drop like a stone - try it and find out!

St. Moritz in Switzerland is known for its famous spas and baths where many go to for cures. Maybe you should go and take a physic there to heal?

Gravity: It's not just a good idea, it's the law!

I remember it as 186,000 miles per second -not just a good idea, it's the law - a take off on the change in the 1970's to 55 mph speed limits which used the phrase.

Yes, and that makes it a much better catchphrase. But I think somebody must have copyrighted that, which is why the copycats came up with the gravity one.
