My entire sophomore class of my smarty pants school went to Physics Day and I think only about two people did the "experiments" and all the work and the rest of us copied their data. Good times.

I loved physics day at six flags. It was awesome. I learned nothing. It was great.

I had Unterman for physics at Glenbrook North. Even in the physics for dummies class that I was in, he was a great teacher. A really weird guy, but a great teacher. We listened to In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida one day as an example of something – it's been nearly 15 years since I had his class. He told us all about the amusement park stuff, too. I think that's about when he wrote the book.

I always wanted to go to GA for physics day, but I was too busy playing Drug Dealer on my TI-84.

Six Flags Great America? What's that? Oh, you must mean Marriott's Great America.

I remember G.A. Physics Day. My teacher all told us to tell our parents that we were going to "Gurney Illinois" and not Great America... heh.. Anyway, yeah, lots of fun learning about gravity from off the Eagle and everything else that drops you suddenly.
