NEWTON'S APPLE-THE SECRET UNTOLD STORY!

[darktheorist]

ISAAC NEWTON HAD had a had a hard day. He was hardly unprepared for it when it hit him.

Bouncing off the left side of his noggin at an angle that could hardly be called scientific, it took two bumps and fell silent.

An apple. A great big fat bloody apple, seeming to LEER AT HIM from down there.

Newton shuddered.

Now, a normal person would have just let the bleedin apple go at that. Not netwon. His great scientific brain began to twitch. Turning his head he looked more closely at the wretched apple, the full force of his scientific glare nearly halving the apple in shock.

You, it seemed to say. come here.

WHY? That was the question.

why..how dare the blessed apple fall off the tree?

hard normal behaviour coming from an apple.

WHY had it fallen down?

but most important of all, perhaps, was the WHY had an apple been up that blessed tree in the first place?

With two leaps, taking great strenous strides in the name of science, Newton was up the tree. Each step he took, heaving and hoeing was a massive scientific leap in the direction of discovery.

finally, he was at the top.

What he saw nearly caused him to fall off the tree in terror.

there were more...

Apples...more apples, stretching on like a grim convoy of nazis in every direction .

The apples seem to GLARE at him, question his presence on their turf.

One actually seemed to SNARL in its appline fury.

And then for the first time in his life, Isaac F Newton did what a normal person would do.

He jumped off the tree.

The thud he made would be recorded years later as a mighty splash in the direction of science, and a major contributor in the theory of Gravity.

If you found that funny,consider yourself

1.intelligent

2.classier than 90% of the population

3.Probably Rich.
