Katrik PM'd me a photo of Tiggles, and upon opening the link to behold this behemoth, something changed. All the items on my desk levitated. Suddenly, a force pulled my head toward the monitor. I could not resist. Don't start thinking I was going in to kiss his pixelated image, no, this was a force of NATURE. By this point, my entire body hovered above ground, stuck to the side of the glowing screen. I felt my bones breaking under the force, the chair raised up and slammed into my back, all the books on my shelf came off and started clubbing me in my head, trying to get to the screen. 'What's happening?' I wondered silently. I instinctively recalled Newton's theory of gravitation... "Gravity gives weight to physical objects and causes them to fall toward one another."
Could someone really be so fat that their image can create a gravitational pull greater than the Earth??
Using every joule of strength in my body (because why would you measure strength in ounces), I managed to unplug the monitor. Everything, including myself, instantly fell away from the screen. I was bloody, beaten, and shaking. That day, I learned that gravity is not a theory - it is a law.
