Well, my patties actually did not move.WWGD said:Now let's figure out where the boneless chicken patties come from. I mean, how can a chicken without bones even move?

?? Sorry, quality of my Physics knowledge is poor.etotheipi said:Of course not, because you didn't multiply the speed by the unit tangent vector
