People die from typewriters falling on their heads.
Never shoot up in the air when you're standing under it.
..if a special geometry has to be invented in order to account for a falling apple, even Newton might be appalled at the complications which would ensue when really difficult problems are tackled.
You know how you put peanut butter on a piece of bread and the bread falls - it never falls on the bread side down, it always falls peanut butter side down. That's because of gravity.
Belgarath turned back to Senji. “All right,” he said. “The Sardion came to Zamad. How?” “It’s said to have fallen out of the sky.” “They always do,” Beldin said. “Someday I’d like to see something rise up out of the earth –just for the sake of variety.

We all know we fall. Newton's discovery was that the moon falls, too-and by the same rule that we do.
Gravity is a contributing factor in nearly 73 percent of all accidents involving falling objects.
A raised weight can produce work, but in doing so it must necessarily sink from its height, and, when it has fallen as deep as it can fall, its gravity remains as before, but it can no longer do work.
The floating vapour is just as true an illustration of the law of gravity as the falling avalanche.
One trait stands out in nearly all meteorites: metal; they've got it. So, the best way to find a meteorite is to hear it first.
Scientists tell us that the fastest animal in the world, with a speed of 120 mph, is a cow dropped out of a helicopter.
