Bob Smith, a 32-year-old man from suburban New Jersey, attempted to defy gravity with a pair of homemade wings made from what he believed were "totally aerodynamic" materials. Newsflash, Bob: they weren't. His backyard was a mess of broken twigs, shattered windows, and the occasional cat that got away.
Despite the warnings from his wife, Bob persisted, claiming that "science" and "physics" were just figments of his imagination. Little did he know, his neighbor, Mrs. Johnson, was secretly a physicist with a Ph.D. in Aerodynamics. She was not amused.
Bob's "flight" ended with a 6-foot drop onto the pavement, a severely bruised ego, and a stern talking-to from the local fire department. His only injury was a minor sprain to his pride.
