question by andycap14 2002-08-26 09:43:56
I heard a George Carlin bit a second ago and it got me thinking.
He was talking about new products, "...a yo-yo with 2,000 foot string, you use it at the Grand Canyon...", and such.

My question is this: Do you think that the yo-yo would gain enough speed that by the time it reached the end of the string you would break or even lose your finger?
