    What is the street price of cocaine, and various other hard drugs, and how much is a typical beginner's dosage?

    Maybe I should check out what this discharge is?

    Then again, maybe I won't.

    Depends on your location. Where I live, a kilo goes from anywhere between $18,000-$25,000. As with any drug, the lower amount you get, the higher the price. Half an ounce runs around $500 here with grams usually going for $100-150. I don't know about dosages exactly though but for a beginner probably a dose of .2 grams or what is called a "20 spot" by users and dealers.

    In The Godfather Part II, after Frankie Pentangeli contradicts his own testimony and the commission is dismissed, Tom Hagen leans over to Michael Corleone and Frankie's brother and says something in Italian.

    What does he say, and what does it mean in English?

    This is just a pretty rough sketch of how i would go about it - but it should get the point across.

    Given a chucking distance of 1m (seems reasonable) - and a woodchuck of mass 3.3kg (roughly avr. mass), the maximum energy that this wood chuck could have for throwing wood is:

    e=mc2
    e=3.3*(3*10^8)2=2.97*1017

    minimum velocity required to chuck a piece of wood 1m :

    s=ut+0.5at2

    max efficiency at 45 degrees

    (1,0)=(2-0.5)(V,V)+0.5(0,-9.8)(t2);

    (2-0.5)=V=0.707

    so E=1/2mv2 ...looking for m

    2.97*1017=0.5*m*(0.7072)

    roughly 1*1018 kg of wood could potentially be chucked by a woodchuck operating at maximum efficiency (this is only an approximate maximum limit).


    Here's a basic diagram for apparatus for carrying out the procedure:

    There are some other important things to consider as well:

    1:This sort of mad chucking would annihilate the woodchuck in the process, and so would be ethically a less than clear-cut question.

    2:There is reasonable cause to increase the limit further, because one could allow the woodchuck to eat if his chucking was spread out over a non-singular time, and that would increase the amount he could chuck (though by a negligable magnitude, which is why i don't consider it here).

    3:Considering the size of a woodchuck, the chucking distance could easily be reduced to half a meter and still be considered a chuck.

    4:We currently do not have the technology to carry out this great a reaction, though i am currently applying for funding for a timber/groundhog collider, a massive underground structure 30 kilometers in diameter, to be built in the west of ireland (yes, the west of ireland is greater than 40 kilometers in diameter, or so a detailed inspection i conducted last year reported). This would allow me to test my above upper limit hypothesis to a high degree of accuracy.

    1) What the meaning of life?

    2) Who was Carly Simon singing about in her song "Your So Vain"?

    3) Was Janet Jackson's Boob controversy really a "wardrobe malfunction"?

    I've asked this before and I'll ask this again.

    Why is MLB the only sport in the world that does NOT have a standard regulation size field?

    I mean the NFL doesn't let certain teams have fields of length 124 yards versus 100 yards versus 139.8 yards.

    Why does MLB allow this?
