The heavy object fell

released.
One could say, almost, that it had been for years a potential.
Or not.

The entire universe fell
with a force proportional to it's mass and the alien's height.

One could almost say he had been a potentate, or a knot.

But then I always did enjoy physics.

The heavy advjectives fell
from the author's text
with a force proportional to the zeal
of an editor who always asked
"what can I cut next?"

Hey! I resemble that remark.

If you are standing on the Moon, you hold a pen out at arm's
length, and let go, will it:

 (a)  Fall toward the earth
 (b)  Fall toward the Moon
 (c)  Float in place

yes

Umm, can I buy a vowel?

Yes, if you're fortunate.

I choose "a" and "b", because earth was not capitalized.

<i ties a balloon to the pen with a long, thin piece of black thread,
then puts a big bet on (c) at 40:1 and prepares to clean up>

<miles hands i a mop>

<snowth wants to be a mop when she grows up. Or a box of crayons. *Crayola*
crayons. It really doesn't matter.>

<i trys to envision snowth as a box of Forest Green Crayola crayons>
<i gets woozy>

<dan thinks of green spirals, for no particular reason>

<snowth thinks of green spirals, and then her thoughts immediately drift
towards *other* interesting thoughts... ;>

Wow, that's two consecutive items we've corrupted :)

Corruption.... hmmm... must be liza's fault.

Which is diagonally eastward of San Andreas's

No, no - corruption come from Washington - you must be thinking of the
Bermuda Triangle.

Since when is Washington in the Bermuda Triangle?  

Although it would be quite an improvement...

Washington the state or District of Columbia?

All of the below.

What's wrong with DC?  I resemble that remark.

The problem with DC is that it's home to a number of evil gangs that
are ruthlessly preying on most of America, and the DC locals don't seem 
willing or able to stamp out the deadly blight.  

I still say it was Liza's fault. So there.

Where?

Neptune. Any more silly questions?

Excuse me, but can you tell me who I am?

Which side of Neptune?

The side facing Pluto.

You are somebody else. Next question?

What colors of swimwear are fashionable on Neptune right now?

one piece for those females who are too old to be trusted
bikinis for the younger females
"nerdy" for males who are too old to be trusted
"non-nerdy" for younger males

Of course, the extreme distance from the sun means the tourist season is quite
short.

Yes, but people go for the long and trendy trek across the Solar system in
Neptonian-flagged liners (1/3 of their government budget is paid by the
flaggin fees!) rather than the short stay at the putative "destination".
And the difficulty of tanning beyond the orbit of Jupiter only seems to
be a convenient excuse for spending the entire day wearing *extremely*
skimpy swimwear.

*yawn*  Terrible wrapping for such tasty morsels.

And a balloon tied to a pen on Neptune would pop.
