A pirate and a ninja meet.
Stay away pirate! I know kung-fu!
Well I know a matey about to push one end of a giant pendulum to hit ye!
I am too fast for that! No pendulum can hit me!
Did ye forget that pendulums travel in simple harmonic motion? The distance in one direction is the same as the distance back (assuming no friction).
Physics triumphs again!
Curse you and your physics!
Aye. Ye should have spent more time in class and less time learning kung fu.
