    The jumping question reminded me

    of my high school experiment where everyone would sit on the right side of the school bus, and when we went around this really sharp right turn, we'd all jump to the left side of the bus. For some reason I couldn't get enough people involved. No one likes science!

    If there's any kids reading this, please try it and tell me what happens.
