Gravity Review

Between getting up out of bed and sitting down at my desk, my day today has just been chock-full of gravity.  So I think it's high time someone reviewed this little concept.

Gravity

Pros:
Provides extra meaning to common phrases such as "He doesn't appreciate the gravity of the situation."
Keeps those poor Australians from falling off.
All the matter in the cosmos is kept in order with all the other matter around it partially due to this fundamental force.

Cons:
Safety hazard -- was once implicated as being the prime culprit in making an apple fall on Sir Isaac Newton's head.
Never being able to lose weight would severely crimp some ladies' recurrent New Year's Resolutions.
Makes poultry neurotic.  (Case in point: Chicken Little.)

Verdict: I think the most appropriate way to rate gravity is with one thumb up and one thumb down.
