“You know, if you fired a two million caliber gun, you’d be knocked to Uranus… or you might just bounce right off Uranus.” – My nephew Max, very seriously explaining his theory on cause & effect when firing a high caliber gun. He’s six, and had absolutely no clue why we were all laughing so hard we were crying. And yeah, the orange juice I was drinking nearly came out my nose. |

whoa. I guess the uber-brains run in the family. Nice. I am most impressed with his power of abstract thinking to know how to extrapolate small numbers to a number big enough to propel you across space. I do love the child-like innocence of Max’s idea of us bouncing off a planet.
Such moments make life meaningful and fun.
Thanks for sharing!
Ah yes, and of course we have to involve his and our favorite gaseous giant, Uranus. A gun that big would certainly knock the crap out of you.
