Ya know John, upon further reflection here, I DON'T think your story reminds me of that Newton dude AFTERALL!!!
Nope! I think it probably reminds me MORE of this other dude, some ITALIAN fella I ALSO once heard about who evidiently to prove some kind'a OTHER theory HE had, drug both a heavy ol' Harley-Davidson motorcycle AND a lighter, more manueverable Triumph Motorcycle up some kind'a leanin' tower located in Italy, and THEN he shoved 'em both OFF the top o' that big ol' tower at the same time!!!
Word was they both hit the ground at the same time TOO, but reportedly the assembled masses who gathered to watch this whole thing take place below ONLY mourned the fate of the Harley.
(...that is, EXCEPT for this ONE bright young man among that crowd who was the ONLY one there who DIDN'T still believe that the earth was flat or the center of the universe, and HE walked over to that poor ol' Triumph and CRIED LIKE A BABY!!!)
