- scottt106, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1^^ dugg for the video the the 40-skip world record... that's amazing.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0throw it harder with a ten to 20 degree angle.. and i am sure shape and density and such help.
See the vid of the guys 40 skip toss? that is freaken nuts. - eclectro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What is even cooler (and hence my dig) is if you follow the link that takes you to the video of the guy who skips his stone 40 times for a Guiness world Record. Saying that this is lame means you are a troll.
BTW, if you RTFA (and esp. watch the video) it does in fact, tell how you might improve your stone skipping. - dracula7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0it does - throw it faster
- lilazndrumrboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0cool, but still doesn't tell me how to make the stone skip more.....
- prthealien, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Pretty cool.
- olorinpc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0before you talk about lame - try having a site when you spam the link.
- kickarse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0^^ I concur...
That is awesome! What's the most you guy'sve done? 14 for me! - a1programmer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Found it on the right:

Kurt Steiner's record-breaking stone skipping ( http://www.pastoneskipping.com/steiner.htm ) - sishgupta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i am getting kinda tired with the non tech diggs. Are people just posting this stuff cuz it will get dugg, or do they just not know that digg is for tech?

- a1programmer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I can't seem to find the video. Do you have to be registered on physicsweb.org ?
- snypa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0cool
- illegal_op, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I saw that image in the upper left of the site and thought it said penis world...look at the image lol
- Lewie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I *heart* physics :D
Dugg - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0will all the juvenile diggers that complain that science posts arent tech please realise that kevin rose himself has said he sees and wants digg to expand beyond technology.
Now to get him to expad the catagories.
and if you want to build a rock skipping robot, you have better know the trival physics behind rocking skipping. - samdu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Surface tension. :)
- ra3ndy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That's it, I'm calling the Mythbusters to figure out how to best skip a stone.
- interiot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Obviously someone needs to build a machine that throws flat stones wicked-fast, at the right angle, and with the right amount of rotation.
- wayjer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Now that is interesting
- bourgeoisie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i've never been one for physics, too hard to understand, but i have to say that this blew my mind.
- rc_collins, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0my record is 10
--dan - danio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0paintballs are fun to skip
- sWeEtReVeNgE, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Much of the basic physics of stone skipping has now been cracked". lol they make it sound like they used a computer...
- ever, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dugg for the picture of the record holder.
He's 1337. - slamm6, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dugg, but skipping a frisbee across water is more challenging.
- StephnDolenc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this is so intersting
- UglyMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very interesting, but I have no clue what all the formulas mean.
Dugg - disord3r, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Thank you for letting us know how much worse your life is because you were subjected to reading that god awful physics article.
Shall I comment on what an enourmously retarded domain name you have there in your signature, which is probably a tribute to some retards you know? - stuffhappens, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Will all Diggers who have a juvenile fascination with physics trivia please constrain their excitement to their personal blogs and let this site heal to become, once again, a useful source of contemprary technology-related news?
No? Thought not - Fly1m1, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0God is this lame...No digg
