These are the voyages of the Starship Manhole Cover | Tumblr | Know Your Meme

A tilthat TIL, the unconfirmed record for fastest moving manmade object is a manhole cover propelled by a nuclear detonation. A high-speed camera trained on the lid caught only one frame of it moving upward before it vanished-which means it was moving about 125,000 miles per hour via reddit.com kaleighbytheway I'm reblogging myself because I read the source. The lead scientist involved theorized that it was going fast enough that A) it would not have burnt up in our atmosphere, and B) it would not have been caught in Earth's or- bit. Essentially meaning, the first man made object launched into space was a manhole cover that's still traveling the cosmic abyss. theboringprincess YEET kinkstertime Earth escape velocity is just under 7,000 miles per hour. This was traveling almost 18 times that speed. That thing is definitely out in space. And not just in orbit about earth either, it's f----- *gone* gone! kinkstertime Wait I did more research!!! From the earth's surface the escape velocity from the entire f----- solar system is under 30,000 miles per hour. Bout one quater of the speed that thing was going. I can't believe the first, and fastest, interstellar message we sent was the equivalent of squeezing the lid off a pringles tube at your friend. ripleyandweeds SEE YOU SPACE COWBOY ... O teaboot The level of absurdity equal to that of a Douglas Adams novel theonetruegemini Aliens declare war on earth after a manhole cover punches a f------ hole in their planet

homunculus-argument My theory is that ghosts get their energy by sucking the oil out of door hinges. That's how you know a place is haunted. Because the doors creak, even if you've just oiled them. The ghosts suck the oil out.
