12. Georgia Schools Stop Teaching Laws of Gravity!!!!

Georgia Schools Stop Teaching Laws of Gravity
Murphy’s Law Could Be Next, District Warns

By: Andy Borowitz
Published: Nov 17, 2004

A suburban school district in Georgia has thrown itself into the vortex of a legal controversy after deciding to stop teaching the law of gravity as part of its science curriculum.

The Dunnsville Unified School District fired the first salvo in the ongoing debate over the law of gravity last year when it mandated that stickers be affixed to all science texts in the district’s schools indicating that “the law of gravity is a theory, not a fact.”

District superintendent Charles Leverall said that initially it was not Dunnsville’s plan to eliminate teaching the law of gravity altogether, but merely to inform students that there were other equally plausible explanations for why things fall down.

“The law of gravity supposedly began when Sir Isaac Newton saw an apple fall off a tree,” Mr. Leverall said. “We think students are entitled to know that another way an apple comes off a tree is if a talking serpent tells a naked woman to take a bite from it.”

13. It keeps things in place

But isn't it a theory like evolution or exit polling? I like solid proven facts, like the rapture, WMDs in Iraq, and George Bush's sterling military service.

[tridim]

15. It wasn't mentioned in the Bible

So it doesn't exist, and/or it's a tool of Satan.

[Spock_is_Skeptical]

16. I can't complain, at least not so far.

[TheFarseer]

17. I don't believe in it, the Bible never mentions it

argh, I missed this being original by two posts. Now I just look like an unoriginal toolbox

[President Kerry]

18. well it does make sex more fun...

:evilgrin:

[nolabels]

21. Someone should submit a plan for finding out the truth..............

To that very question to NASA........oh wait they probably already tried it out. (We just didn't find out about it :think:)

[TexasSissy]

19. I read recently that it's only a theory. I hope they label that theory

appropriately, as a theory, in the schoolbooks, lest kids get the idea that gravity is a proven fact! Personally, I think they ought to be allowed to teach the alternate theory...that a supreme being causes apples to fall to the ground from trees.

20. Gravity is either the opposite of comedy or else it is the the curvature

of time and space caused by matter. And so the question,"What's the matter?"
