SUPER SOAK THAT (Person)...Physics Style

My oh my has the week just flown by. Of course I was sitting at home, watching the Patriots totally obliterate the Bills. Man was it hot (temperature-wise) in my living room, and thats when I changed the channel to MTV. It just so happened that the song "Crank Dat" was playing and the lyrics happened to be talking about Super Soaking someone. Of course after hearing that I decided that was exactly what I needed, to use my SUPERSOAKER 50©(from 1996) and spray my dogs (for the LOLs). That's when that ever so weekly epiphany hit me! AHA! Not only is Clay Ozaki-Train a beast of nature, but the KB Toys®DOC! was trying to speak to me. How exactly do supersoakers super soak people who want to be supersoaked? That really is the question of the week. Well, KB Toys®DOC! explain that the SUPERSOAKER 50©(from 1996) worked because of Bernoulli's Principle. If pressure inside the water vessel was greater than the pressure at the nozzle, then velocity at the nozzle would be far greater than velocity in the vessel. AHA! That's why the harder you pump the SUPERSOAKER 50©(from 1996), the farther the water flies from the SUPERSOAKER 50©(from 1996) allowing you to supersoak people from a far greater range. Using simple kinematics to figure out the projectile motion (that is found on every test except the last one), I was successful in sneak attacking my dogs. Ahh, what satisfaction of wetting my sleeping, lazy dogs. Thanks KB Toys®DOC! without you, I would never be able to have this much fun on a sunday. Lesson of the week: Fish have an attention span of 8 seconds. DOC! I formally declare a supersoaking war on you effective 11/19/07. BEWARE!
