Dunno where you studied physics, Tom, but this sounds waaaayyyyy too much
like "Roadrunner logic" to me.  Does this mean that if the Coyote runs fast
enough, he'll ultimately weigh so little that he'll NEVER fall into the
canyon? Or that at some point (when he travels fast enough to become
lighter than the surrounding air) he'll actually begin to rise?

I seem to recall learning that the horizontal and the vertical vectors were
entirely independent of one another. <g>
