Nobody ever died from jumping off a tall building. Hitting the ground is another story.

The Confederate Battle Flag is also Red, White, and Blue, and the only Freedom they fought for was the Freedom to enslave other people.

Reply to ELI5: Why is it to reach space we can't simply fly an airplane there I need to use rockets? by [deleted]
Airplane wings need to have air around them in order to generate lift. The air which passes over the wing moves faster and at a lower pressure than the air which passes below the wing.
Airplane engines are designed to pull or push the airplane through air. If the air is too thin, or if there is no air, then the engine has nothing to push against.

We could turn Connecticut into a new borough of New York City. I don't know if that would make your taxes go down though.

Reply to ELI5-What is the fibonacci sequence? by amsdys
Fibonacci was a mathematician who published a book. The entire purpose of the book was to show how much easier it is to do mathematics using Arabic numerals, as opposed to Roman numerals. One example he gave was a simple list of numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89... et cetera. The sequence is formed by adding the two most recent numbers to get the next number.
