This is the day that we join together and appreciate gravity! Think about what life would be like without gravity... it starts with being very careful pushing off the ground. The hydrological cycle would be all out of whack. As a matter of fact, the oceans would just turn into giant spheres - it would be really easy to drown in them... Actually, the atmosphere would become one giant haze of dirt and moisture. Actually, that wouldn't be a problem, because the atmosphere wouldn't hang around. Not that big a deal considering the planet itself would drift apart. As would the sun. As a matter of fact, without our buddy gravity, the universe would die a quick, cold death.
So let's hear it for gravity:
For he's a heavy old fel-low, for he's a heavy old fel-low, for he's a heavy old feee-eee-llooow, which nobody can deny...
It marks the first in a calendar full of appreciation holidays. It will include indoor plumbing, friction, oxygen, and possibly fleece. What basic comfort of life do you think we should add to the 366 days (Feb. 29th is Gregorian appreciation day?) of appreciation calendar, and why?

I sometimes try to imagine a world with out friction.
That is delightfully funny, you non-hyperlinking bastard ;)
Would life as we know it even be possible without friction?
