January 25, 2012 Laws of Physics Confuse Me

Let me be clear about something. I don't know what physics is? Are? All I know about physics is that Luke got a $500 scholarship from the physics department and when he tries to explain it to me he ends up running, screaming from the room.

I can diagram a sentence with the best of them, but try to figure out when a spinning meteor will hit the earth is beyond me. Oh, and the meteor is going to land in water so, really, who cares.

There I was, driving to meet my mom, sister and niece at the theatre to see "Joyful Noise" when I saw this. And followed it.

What I don't understand is how could the car being towed be so off center? Isn't that against Newton's 4th Law of Physics: a body being towed must be towed directly behind the towing vehicle or else.

I kept following this tow truck and waiting for something to happen - what I don't know, but this was just not right.

The driver kept looking at me in the rear view mirror. Could be because I was taking all kinds of pictures and shaking my head.

The things I do so you people have a picture to look at!

Learning physics, however is NOT one of them!
