1: The needle in the phone pole. The idea is that speed alone does the job. you could add a 1 lb weight to the straw, and throw it fast enough to have LOTS of ft/lb.buyt it wouldn;t penetrate.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

Why?

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>2: ping pong balls do fall as fast as bowling balls. The ping pong balls reach their maximum velocity very quickly as there is not enough mass to defeat the air resistance.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

Are you sure?
