Train v BB Gun

[MSEO1]

My daughter sent me this link:

http://what-if.xkcd.com/18/

and, for some reason that I just can't fathom, made a point of quoting the following sentence from it:

"It’s time to wade into the terrifying world of hardcore air rifle enthusiasts."

That cracked me up.

That is a bit of an odd comment for a rather pointless physics exercise, isn't it?

I should have provided some context, he does a web comic with a dry sense of humour and many pointless physics exercises. I believe that the comment was tongue in cheek. Or maybe I just have a strange sense of humour.

I had already seen it and I loved it.
Like Adam from Mythbusters said the only difference between science and goofing around is writting it down LOL
