Chasing the Sunset

Rock says:

Feiht still doesn't have a proper handle on her situation. She shouldn't worry about being dropped from a great height; that kind of death, while extremely frightening, should be fairly immediate. Being dropped into a hungry raptor's nest and hacked apart for the enjoyment of its chicks would be far more agonizing.

Tangent says:

Actually, as small as she is, she won't hit nearly as hard as a human would. Of course, she might very well still die, but if she lands in snow or through a tree she could survive. ^^;;

Rose says:

Yeah, I agree. It's the BIRD I'm worried about. What's it doing? Trying to fly her to it's nest to feed to the youngsters? I'm telling you, that bird's a killer! :O

rose says:

did anyone notice that she is getting more logical? its kind of unsettling, she should be waving her hands in the air yelling "wheeeee" (i didn't spell that right and i don't care:p )

Old Codger says:

A mouse, dropped from any height at all, won't die from the fall; it probably won't even be hurt. Feiht looks about the size of a mouse. . .

Bob says:

Actually, I've been told by people who do demos with real eagles, falcons, owls, etc, that birds of prey have enough strength in their talons to crush bones in a human hand, let alone a dinky little pixie. Of course, using pixie logic, since said pixie probably doesn't know that it probably doesn't matter. ;D

Rock says:

If the raptor -is- taking Feiht to its nest to feed its young, it won't want to crush her anyway. Live prey that can still move is a good lesson for the young.

Nobody says:

The updrafts around skyscrapers blow things back into the buildings so a coin dropped from the top will land on a lower roof section.

Mythbusters has already shown on live human test subjects that a penny at terminal velocity hurts a lot but won't break the skin.

Lindale says:

I agree Rose, normal Feiht wouldn't be thinking logically enough to be worried ...but I guess normal Feiht would have turned the bird into something rainbow-coloured with sparkles by now... :P
