Heroes

Many people have their historical heroes; Alexander the Great, Aristotle, Churchill, Max Planck, Leonardo Da Vinci, Cavendish, Einstein, Feynman, Boyle, Homer Simpson. The Gorse Fox has, however, just crossed Isaac Newton off his list.

Perhaps he should explain.

If it had not been for Isaac Newton, when the Gorse Fox tried to descend the ladder in the stairwell that he was painting, gravity would not had flung him in a downwards trajectory across the stairs. Without Newton’s damned gravity he would have just floated above the paint tray and the stair rail and neither would have been impact points on his arms and legs.

Blast you, Isaac Newton.

I trust there was no asting damage to your person, the stair rail or the carpets from this ill-advised experiment to test Sir Isaac's Theory?

Transient, Gray Monk, transient. Pride, however, irreparably damaged.
