Slow-Motion Slinky Drop


(YouTube link)

When you drop a slinky, which part of it moves faster? When you get a good look at it in slow-motion, it only raises more questions, which physics professor Rod Cross explains. See the rest of the experiment at The Daily What Geek. http://geeks.thedailywh.at/2011/09/25/slow-motion-slinky-drop-of-the-day/ -via mental_floss

(Sigh). So those that don't get the Keyboard Cat joke, it's basically a throwback to the Vaudeville shows. When someone's act failed to inspire, the actor was yanked offstage, and usually replaced by a trained monkey juggling or something. Hence KC stepping in after someone FAILs in a video.

When have we indicated that we don't know what it is a reference to? That was kinda condescending. It's just not funny, it's not funny because it has no humor to it, not because we don't understand it.

I was unfamiliar with that particular keyboard cat meme, so I assume others may be, as well.

I just thought it was another odd cat craft.
