Consider the following. A penny dropped from nearly 1200 feet in the air, in a vacuum, would hit the ground in approximately 8.8 seconds. We can deduce this is 250 feet per second. This is not a particularly great amount, if one considers a small caliber hand gun shoots off a bullet (with a weight of close relevance to a penny) that travels at a range of 800-1100 fps.
However, if it were not just pennies, but nickels, quarters, half-dollars, and whole dollars...if it were from higher up and allowed to hit their terminal velocity...if it came down in a great quantity and consistency...consider the damage that could be inflicted upon small creatures, fragile objects, cars, glass, and even people.
Nothing short of the water torture.
I wish these fucking pricks would realize this before they wished or acted as if it rained money. Rich people grate on my everlasting nerves. Someone save me from this.
Where in damn Mary's name is my kaishakunin?
