How does Tom of "Tom and Jerry" survive getting hit head on by a train?  It just doesn't seem very realistic to me.

Melinda found out that the man with the hat did not want the other ghosts to cross over.  He was doing everything in his power to make the ghosts stay on earth (which Melinda didn't like).  The man with the hat told Melinda that he would set free the ghosts who died from the crash in exchange for her life (because she was "the one").  But Melinda continued to do her work and convinced majority of the ghosts to follow the light and cross over.  Some, however, chose to follow the man with the hat and so these ghosts remained on earth.\n\nAndrea's brother, fortunately, did not take the flight and was spared from the crash.  However, Andrea herself was among those who died when the plane crashed over the town.  Andrea's car got hit by the plane when it was going down.  When Melinda finally told Andrea about this, Andrea was in tears and could not seem to accept it.  Then, the man with the hat was suddenly walking behind Andrea -- as if making an attempt to steal her away from Melinda, so that Andrea would not cross over.  That was the end of the episode.

First of all, they have nothing to do with each other. A train conductor has a job that someone pays them to do. Their motivation is money. The underground railroad conductors motivation was to live and help others be free from bondage. If the amtrak conductor makes a mistake, he loses his job. If the underground conductor makes a mistake, everybody around them is murdered on the spot. I don't know who gave you this question in 11th grade, but whoever it is should NOT be teaching kids!

Is it any wonder that lawyers are so despised? When do people start taking responsibilities for themselves? They were trespassing on railroad property and climbed on top of a boxcar, which is more trespassing. This is a travesty.

I found this on http://www.tv.com/ Firemen are cutting a hole in a wall… to lower the corpse of a 600-pound man out of his bed and down to the street. When they try to lift him there’s gas and they realize that the man is still alive.\n\nCuddy has the staff do a differential diagnosis on the man, George, while waiting for House to show up. The initial tests show negative, leaving them puzzled. Meanwhile, House is in jail with an annoying cell mate. Tritter finally lets him loose and Wilson pays for his bail. House gets in to the meeting and orders a round of testing. Cameron goes to George’s house to check things out and notices he has similar furnishings and habits as House. House meets with a clinic patient while Tritter lurks outside and is unimpressed by House’s gibes. House then orders a MRI for George and they eventually get his head in. While Cuddy advises House to get a criminal lawyer, George wakes up from his coma and panics.\n\nCuddy is mad at House for putting George into the MRI, but Cameron comes to the rescue saying they couldn’t have denied treatment to George since he qualifies as having a disability, and claiming she ordered the treatment. The staff are divided on the diagnosis so House goes with all of them except Chase’s, who basically says to do nothing so House tells him to do sit around and do nothing. George relates the fact his previous doctors haven’t found anything wrong with him in the past and he doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with him now. He insists on being released but Cameron and Foreman think otherwise.\n\nHouse talks to Wilson about Cameron and her newfound lying skills but Wilson would rather advise House to call the lawyer. Cameron and Foreman report in and House goes to confront George and points out that no one in their right mind would insist on going home after a coma, so he must know of some condition he has. House tosses out a variety of symptoms but George denies having anything and he’s not miserable, just overweight. Before they can continue, House gets a call from his landlord and returns to his apartment to find Tritter executing a search warrant. Tritter has found House’s stash of vicodin and wonders if any of them were stolen or taken under a forged prescription.\n\nHouse orders George’s release then wants to know if Wilson told Tritter anything, but Wilson says he just told Tritter he had prescribed vicodin. Cameron escorts George out as he’s discharged. George still insists there’s nothing wrong him and whatever will happen will happen. He walks out, but he collapses and falls through a window. As House wonders where Chase is, Cameron admits she gave him a drug to knock him out because she didn’t think he should leave. House suspects a parasite from contaminated food and suggests they drill a hole to test. George agrees but during the procedure he starts to panic when he goes blind.\n\nThey don’t find any parasites but House now suspects diabetes. He leaves Cameron to try and administer the diabetes test, but George insists that he will only help them with the testing if they check for something that isn’t weight-related.\n\nHouse meets with a criminal lawyer who suggests he plea bargain. House refuses and goes back to meet with Cameron and Foreman, and finds out George won’t let them test for diabetes. House tries to force him to drink the sugar water for the diabetes test but notices yellowing of the fingernails. House orders x-rays of his hands and says he believes George has lung cancer as his hands are clubbed. The x-rays confirm that he has a small-cell lung carcinoma that has metastized in his lymph nodes and it’s inoperable. George takes it in stride.\n\nHouse ends up plea bargaining and Cameron thinks that will let him keep on doing what he’s doing. House wonders why she lied and suspects she had someone overweight in her family, but she denies it.\n\nTritter talks to Wilson who claims he prescribed all of House’s vico

Technically, anthing touching the ground is grounded.  A train is designed to take a lightening hit, with the exterior metal shell directing currents around internal passangers/freight and through the wheels into the ground.  No worries.

Nicely done. Sorta "Blair Witchie."\n\n1. If he's willing to get so close to the chair to film the chair moving (supposedly) instead of shooting from range, then he's certainly not scared enough to run when a mere bowl crashes.\n\n2. If he's that scared, why didn't he unlock the door ahead of time? Or run into another room and out a different door when this one was locked?\n\n3. The bowl turns a little before sliding off the table. Watch it again. That's because the place where the fishing line or whatever was used to pull the bowl off the table wasn't pointed towards the direction of travel originally. So when the string is pulled, first the bowl rotates until the string is taut, then it travels in the direction the string is being pulled.

The author (Marinville) ended up sacrificing himself and let the others escape...He blew up the mine.\nMary got away from Tak...\n\nWhat I was most puzzled by is what happened to Mary's husband Peter and Pi's bodies that were left at the bottom of the stairs.\n\nIt will probably be on DVD soon.

Nope...force is what you are looking to determine.  Force equals mass x acceleration.  The fly would have to travel MUCH faster to have any impact on the train.  Also, the fly, once it made initial contact with the train, doesn't decelerate all at once...parts of it continue moving after other parts stop, and some parts start moving in East and West directions...SPLAT!

Yes, the discover channel show myth busters actually did a show on this once after someone asked the same question because they watched a cannon ball bounce in a war movie.  Cannon balls are very heavy...so if they hit a soft or low density surface like dirt or grass they will generally make a divet and come to rest where they land.  However, if shot from a low trajectory they CAN skip...like skipping rocks on a lake...in fact if shot at a fast enough speed they can even skip ON a lake themself.  When dropped from ontop of the myth busters studio building the cannon ball hit the concrete, did some major damage that made Jamie really mad and rolled off the sidewalk BUT fascinatingly enough...slow frame film showed, afterward, that when the cannon ball rolled off the sidewalk it actually bounced once...a tiny tiny bit.  They also did some research with revolutionary and civil war historians and found that a VAST majority of cannon ball injuries from that era actually CAME from low flying cannon balls taking off legs and such just like in the movie.  In fact the true myth wasn't the bouncing of cannon balls...it was the big explosion of dirt and shrapnel that fly out and take down 15 guys around it.  Cannon balls dont break up when they land like grenades and bombs...so that doesn't really happen.  Sometimes if the ground is soft enough there will be a big dust cloud but unless the ground is covered in nails and scrap metal...there won't be any shrapnel in the dust cloud to cause damage.  Most of the time, though, the ground was uncultivated so it was generally hard enough that a cannon ball landed with a thud and stayed there.  According to the experts there were even opportunities after a battle for the winning side to go out and gather up all the expended canon balls off the field and re-use them.  The single greatest danger from cannon balls at that time was actually the low flying bouncing ones that skipped over the ground and ripped legs off as it went...(by the way in the scene in The Patriot where it bounced high enough to take the guys head off...that was busted.  They're too dense to actually BOUNCE like that...they more or less SKIP which is still a form of bouncing but most injuries were leg injuries NOT decapitation by cannon ball)...there was a low chance of a cannon ball landing directly on a person but the odds were outstanding...I can't recall the actual numbers now but I know when I watched it...my jaw dropped.

He got nailed to a cross the first time. He is never coming back. Would you? The other reason he is never coming back is that he is not real.

I did see the movie.  I think I would eat another person's flesh to survive.  I would have a hard time doing it though.  Those guys had to eat the flesh raw.  Hopefully if it ever happens to me, I'll have some matches or a lighter.

I saw the documentary on it. They concluded that it was accidental. He broke his leg and the wound got infected and killed him.

Reese. Reese did die in the incredibly long and drawn out train wreck in the tunnel. But I don't think she was shot. I think she had internal injuries from the crash. No one expected her to die because she was up and walking around. There were other people more in need of medical attention and with the only doctor being Emily the medical student and Robin newly back from France...everyone was too busy to take much notice of her sneaking off to a corner of the cave to die.\n\nSage. Sage was killed by Mary who completely lost it after Nicholas remembered who he REALLY was. She was locked in the freezer by Georgie and the gang, but I think she died alone (I believe Mary was stabbing people but I can't remember for sure) while everyone was panicking upstairs.\n\nCourtney got the virus/plague whatever which started with Luke. She had a c section and baby john was fine. She lived a few hours after that and was able to talk with both Jax and Nicholas. Jax confessed that John's father was really Nicholas. But Courtney didn't get the chance to tell Nicholas that. She was able to say "I love you" to him and that was it.

While I would not recommend just putting him in situations to get bumped in the head - little ones can take quite a pounding when they fall, trip and so on. Nature makes their little bones more pliable than ours, and less likely to break..., that doesn't mean they wont, obviously.\n\nWhen a tyke gets goose egg bump - just watch for projectile vomiting (gushers) and very odd behavior out of character for the lad..., and of course.., take him to a doctor.\n\nAs for bruises you didn't say how he got them, so I assume he's just falling down, or bumping his head raising up under a chair or table, etc... all that is normal.  Some of these little fellas just fall and bump into things more than others. Don't sweat the small stuff. Just the goose egg variety.

That's an interesting but complicated question.  First it might depend on whether your eyes were open or shut, i.e., whether you do or do not react to the train.  Let's assume you do not react - perhaps you even use a mannequin for a series of tests.\n\nThe rapidly passing train would push a blanket of air ahead of it - picture it as pushing through very light snow for example.  That part would push you away.  Right behind the front of the engine, the air would break up into eddies due to drag friction - you have probably seen the eddies where a brook passes a rock jutting above the surface.  This part would provide a confusion of pressures which you could see if the air was filled with autumn dry leaves.  The third effect would produce a prtial vacuum because of the relative velocities of air (fast near the train and zero near you).  A curved baseball curves in flight because it is thrown with a spin and as it moves forward the skin of the ball (with its stagnant air) moves in the same direction as the path and and opposite the path on the other side of the ball.  There is a partial vacuum on the side of the ball which is moving fastest relative to the surrounding air.  A perfume bottle dispenses perfume by passing air (from the rubber bulb) through a nozzel that speeds up the air relative to the stagnant air in the dip tube reaching down into the liquid perfume.  This is the same action as a venturi tube.\n\nThe further away you are from the train the lower will be the vacuum on you because the intervening air mitigates the effect.  The closer you are to the train the stronger the vacuum will be because of the stark contrast between the air moving with the train and the static air surrounding you.  Stand well back, I say and good luck.
